Gambling by financial dependents.

[zuzie]

Boys in my country start gambling from below eighteen years of age and they are gambling day and night in different casino sites. Moreover, in reality, many people are gathering gambling together with money. In fact, their family is very rich, so they are investing here because they have a lot of money. I have seen many people gamble by selling their assets but they are only greedy to make extra money.

My advice to these youths is to stop gambling and do now study and not give extra money from their families. Only necessary money will be given to their children.

In my opinion, gambling does not look at a person's age or position, because gambling he is ready to risk his money and is ready to accept all the risks. Since everyone has a different opinion, some gamble for fun and some gamble to supplement their family's finances. And in my opinion, in gambling, the rich and the poor are the same because they both risk their money in gambling, the difference is how big or small the money is at stake. If someone invests in the field of gambling, in my opinion it is very unlikely because we cannot predict the results we will receive later.

I think its rather grey to gamble with money you were handed. What did I mean here with grey? Its pretty obvious. It sounds okay as if kiddo is gambling with his own money but I think its not exactly acceptable because its not hard earned money. When people gamble with money they %100 earn and own I have nothing to tell against it. But I can't say it's good when someone uses his father's money honestly.

To me, I think everything is wrong especially in the case of the boy in OP story. The mother admitted that the boy is still dependable on her and still in school. Thou being in school does not exclude one from gambling but when you are dependable and have no other means of income aside from family stipend should be checked and stop if possible. Gambling addiction doesn't not start in a day but with constant gambling and before you know you're addicted. The mother wants the best for her boy hence she's worried about his gambling habit.

From the story it's obvious that the boy is still under the control of a mother perhaps not attain the age of maximum freedom from parents. For now, he should respect his mother and stop.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

For me, let me make this categorically clear that I will never allow any of my child, to start gambling while he or she is still in school, its not just about the financial aspect of it, but for the fact that, it could affect them negatively in terms of studying, you will discover that they will start spending more times in analyzing games for their next bet, rather than reading their books..

So for me, I support what the mother is saying, if she's not comfortable with her son gambling while still in school, the son should not act disrespectful and stop immediately, he has several years ahead of him, he can still gamble once he finishes school, and finds something doing for himself, gambling while in school will sure affect his studies, even if he's not stealing to finance his gambling activities.

What will be your advice for this young boy?

He must have get that gambling vice from a friend so i don't think he will stop easily because his mother said so because his environment have influence him to gamble. But the good thing is that he is a "responsible gambler" like you have said, let's just hope that it will turn out that way always and he may develop patience and discipline, characteristics that a good gambler must have.

He is young, one day or another he will encounter ups and downs in gambling so as a family member, guide him on what to do whenever he encounters problems regarding gambling and relate our experiences to him.

In my own region, boys below eighteen are already placing bets since there is an eighteen-plus regulation but agents don't bother to check for IDs or anything to make a proper confirmation, since the younger ones feel they also need money and they have responsibility how hilarious, and rich people gamble with there friends to discuss reasonable issues in business and looking at there status they financially dependent, and some times they get greedy too but look at the situation were gambling has eaten deep into an average man's life selling off his or her property is expected.

A family member reported to me that her eighteen years old son has started gambling. She is not worried that he is gaming but her problem is that he is a student that solely depends on her for everything he needs. Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.

I spoke to my nephew and he told me that he has never stolen from his mother to gamble. And he gambles with only his savings from his weekly stipend he receives from the family. And he won't gamble if he has no savings to do that. From my observation, he is a responsible gambler that is just enjoying the game and making a little money occasionally. The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?

I will never backed an 18 year old boy that's into gambling because at that age they are not always strong at heart, they easily lose themselves, you can end up losing face in from of his parent because he can fool you guys, trust, I have been there because this have happened to someone very close in the family too.

He might decide not to steal from his mother and go out and start borrowing money from friends and other, before you know what's going on, there will be lots of debt on the ground and will be shocked.

My advice is to be strictly close to that boy, there is no such thing as gambling responsibly in an 18 years old boy, they are just starting their life as a man, and they will always be careless.

[Latviand]

My advice to that kid would be that he should follow his mother's wishes and stop gambling, I think there's an unwritten rule that as long as you're still living under the house of your parents, any vices should be under control or not encouraged at all because you're still dependent on them so it's kind of ungrateful of you to waste their money in their own house for you gambling habits.

I have seen many people gamble by selling their assets but they are only greedy to make extra money.

That's an indication that there are people in your country that's not ready to be a parent because they've failed to set an example to the children that any vices should not be tolerated. I mean a little disciplinary action should've been done to at least prevent these kids but no, there's no indication that it's been done. I guess, I can't put myself in their shoe so I believe that they're a bad parent but hey, no parent has ever groomed their kid to be a gambler.

[Crypt0Gore]

If such kid end up getting addicted to gaming it's going to be a bigger problem than it is right now, my advice is stop that kid by all means necessary before it's too late, you claimed he has no job, he is using money that's meant for other things like pocket money or transport fee to gamble, this is a big red flag, a responsible gambler needs a paying job or a source of income at least to practice a responsible gambling.

I don't see any road to been responsible from this small kid, you should calm him and advice him, gambling is not for the jobless, it only makes things much more worse because such people will always end up chasing their losses, they can't learn the act of letting go.

He is better off facing his studies and he should start working on making his parents proud, what he is doing right now won't make his parent proud, he will make things much worse for them, talk some sense into him.

[rojan]

At this age a gambler cannot be identified unless he reveals the matter himself because a gambler is getting all kinds of benefits from sitting at home. If a gambler realizes on his own that he may be addicted or has pushed himself into a hostile environment from which he needs a way out, he will find a way to control himself there if he can explain addiction well to those gamblers. We should remember that no gambler can be forced to turn away. If they are adults then definitely they can come back by realizing these things.

Now there is no way to know if someone is completely addicted to gambling because now everyone gambles at home. Now almost most people 18+ are addicted to gambling. Also in some countries some boys are addicted to gambling at an immature age. I sometimes think that those who are 18+  They are old enough to understand their own good, but what can happen to the lives of those who indulge in gambling at an immature age. However, if the parents of all families are careful, they may not be able to indulge in gambling at an immature age.

I agree that an 18-year-old shouldn't be anywhere near gambling. However, your attempt to generalize every 18-year-old as inherently irresponsible reeks of overbearing paternalism.

You talk about losing face in front of parents, but isn't it the job of parents to guide and understand their children? And if you're pointing fingers at a youngster borrowing money, it's worth asking: where did he learn that behavior? Society? Peers? Or perhaps... family? Your black-and-white painting of this situation is simplistic at best.

Maybe he needs someone he can talk to so he can tell about his personal life and why he gambled at such a young age. And he'll be more open to telling that person everything in detail so they can find a solution if they know the real situation. But that person needs to find a different approach because a child at his age may not easily want to talk about the problems he is facing.

Instead of later having a more serious problem that his parents don't know about, it's better to prevent it, especially if he hasn't become addicted to gambling. I think he can leave gambling before it's too late but this needs further communication so he can understand the dangers of gambling and what impact it will have on his life later when he grows up.

Not only 18+ also under 18 is now addicted on gambling. Gambling is more prevalent among the youth. bnd all the gamblers are now sitting at home and gambling on their phone or computer so it is difficult to understand who is addicted to gambling and who is not. but family members can make some guesses by seeing his financial status change and by seeing some of his unusual behavior. and everyone has a motive for gambling that they will be financially strong in less time

[Jossque]

One of the worst aspects of gambling addiction is getting hooked at an early age. When a young person gets involved in gambling at an early age, it can carry huge risks for their future. The amount this young person will gamble may not be high, but if he or she has the ambition to win, this is exactly where the trouble starts. The moment he loses, he will want to gamble again and again to make up for it. When he plays with this anger, maybe he will lose all the money he has. It may not be a problem for the family in terms of financial support, but from the point of view of the child, he may experience psychological distress.
This is a situation that can happen. As he loses money, he will look for ways to find or earn money. If he knows where the money is at home, we can say that it is very normal for him to engage in such initiatives.
If he is playing for pleasure, there is not much trouble. My suggestion to him is to turn to other areas that will keep him busy. Rather than gambling, he can prepare himself for the things he needs to improve himself and do what he wants in the future.

Gambling is addictive, and I'm sure that's the number reason why his parents are against it, because as a wise father/mother, I think the last thing they will ever want to see their child do is insulating the habit of gambling at an early tender adolescent age of 18yrs, because despite the fact that the constitution states that at 18yrs, such individual is liable to whatever action he/she takes, starting from gambling is a NO NO for me, and most especially when you made it open to the knowledge of your mum. So for me, I just think that boy just need to put a pause on gambling and listen to his mum.. Parents are always right.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Stop immediately!!! What?? How did I miss this??!
WTF does an eighth year old boy knows about gambling?? Who started it in him? If this story isn't fictional, then that's also as a result of bad parenting - let's say, if his parents were unable to tutor him into a kid that portrays a good virtue, are they now gon' be able to make him desist when he's already wagered and felt the fantasy in the game?...
I don't understand how some peeps feel it's way too easy to solve a problem when it escalates already....well, good luck to them.

18 years old of age is already considered to be on legal age on which it is really that impossible that someone cant really be able to think off that carefully in speaking on how to make out decisions and how to distinguish

between things which can bring harm or good. Gambling isnt bad but it should really be that taken that well so that you wont really be finding yourself that get addicted.This is where people do usually experience problems on the time that they arent minding about their spending and this is where things turns out to be a mess if you arent that careful in speaking about the potential gambling risks. You are already at the age on which it isnt
that young anymore. If there's someone who do play out gambling and financially dependent on you, then as a parent then you should cut off the source and you would really be able to make him
minimize his gambling activity.

Next, speak to them about the risks of it and tell them that dealing with it on active manner is never been that good because it could really make someone addicted
If you arent that good on handling emotions and having that discipline then you do know on whats next.

It is indeed discouraged to gamble when the money is not that person's hard-earned money.  It is not only in a grey area but heavily frowned upon by people who know responsibilities and respect.  For people who have a high sense of responsibility, they do not accept this kind of attitude.

Technically looks ok to gamble the money given by parents because it is literally the receiver's money but morally, it is unethical to spend money for gambling when the purpose of money is to support the kid for his schooling and other important stuff.

Yes my younger brother I think is totally addicted to gambling. After few days I see a lot of changes in him sometimes he behaves strangely at home.  For money he misbehaves with all the people. Sometimes he takes the money without telling. I know from his classmates that he is addicted to gambling. Now I don't know how to get him back from gambling.

Dependents can gamble recklessly because it is not their hard earned money. It is better to gamble with your money and not with gifts. The giver might not be comfortable with your gambling. And when you stop getting assistance from parents, it could lead to stealing.

Stop immediately!!! What?? How did I miss this??!

If you really read the original post, the story was true life experienced by the OP and not make belief. And the age of my nephew is not eight but eighteen. And an eighteen-year-old is considered an adult in my country. His parents are not gamblers, so he didn't learn it from any of them. Further investigation proved that he learned it from his friends and not from home. I agree that an eight-year-old might not know about gambling and parents should raise children in a manner that they should behave well in society. Underaged children are more prone to gambling addiction hence they should be protected.
