Gambling by financial dependents.

[adpinbr]

Yes this is why I said that when some one is little below 18 or above 18 a little also, should I have their own life style,to me a notice that the boy is just trying to make money and have some good thing for himself and it not easy for him so to me he has to run back to the person who is getting more money than him? Which happens to be his mother and he can’t ask for me for any good reason because no good reason available, the only thing he wants to do is to still the money and that becomes a big problem between him and her mother, all we need to do is to advise the son to stop and make him happy that he will be great and get his own money

And every parent must be harder in educating and directing their children into every activity that is more positive and can provide much better experience, it doesn't matter if we do things that our children might consider excessive but in the long run it is very beneficial.
Key to child personality and future is in the hands of the parents when the child is still teenager and in adolescence it becomes determinant of the child attitude and behavior in adulthood.
Sometimes many parents spoil their children too much and allow or even tolerate whatever child wants and does just with the aim of seeing them happy, but this is not the right way to educate child.
Don't make mistakes that can ultimately create problems and cause trouble for us as parents and all family members.

Everything has benefits and also bad impacts, but it comes back to how it is used because if it is used well and only to do work and positive things then negative impacts will not be experienced.
Vice versa, so we must be able to determine what is appropriate and what should be avoided.

Parents must stay closer to their kids, no matters if they are busy with their job because that's what their kids needs so their kids will see that their parents will still besides them in any situations. This will makes their relationship becomes closer and will have a strong bond between parents and their kids so their kids can tells many things to their parents without boundaries. Sometimes, kids are afraid to tells their parents if they have a problem because many parents can't understand what they kids needs. Parents thinks that if they can gives money to their kids, that will be enough for their kids to fills their needs. But money is not everything because when their kids grow, they really needs their parents stay besides them and suggest many good things to them.

Parents must understand about this so their kids will not doing something that can harm their lives. They will not trying to playing gambling using the money from their parents instead will use it for their goodness. Besides that, their kids will follow their parents suggestion because they believe with their parents that their parents will always care with them.

I think you are getting this all wrong, he doesn't have the right, and it is irrespective of whether the dependent can ask the mum, dad, uncle etc for money, it is just the moral justification of what such a dependent wants to use the money for. Is it justified? In gambling, it can never be justified, you still do not earn by yourself, you are a dependent and whether you are above 18 years or below it doesn't matter, what you do not work for, you do not have the right to waste it. This is especially true if the money was given to him painstakingly, there is no way it will not hurt the person who sweated for the wanted money before giving it to the dependent.

Gambling is not food, and neither is it the air we breathe in, it has never been a necessity in my dictionary, so why then gamble when you can avoid it until you start making money by yourself and use it the way you want? Or have you seen someone who relies desperately on gambling to make money and actually makes the money consistently? This is why the focus of this dependent should not even be on gambling but on other viable means that can earn him direct money and not on gambling that could earn him passive winnings in a very risky way. Because he might gamble 50 times and still not win any, is that what he is justifying wasting the hard-earned money of another person for? This is bad.

Fine, no one is stopping you from gambling when you are at least 18 or 21 (depending on the company), but that is only justified if it is you who earned that money all by yourself. This clearly proves that you can use it the way you want, but you will be a very bad person wasting the money of others, especially if you know the person does not have much. That is the way I see it though, my friend.

One way to understand your kid is to have open discussion with them about their life. This one is hard if they are not used to it. But if you happen to inject this activity with your kid/s, would be easier to learn why they are into this activity and so would be easier to guide and help them, in case, you feel they already need guidance.

There will be stage of being rebellious and all, but if you know your kid, you will understand where he is coming from. If you are a parent, you would know that it is only you that will have the patience to stay with your kid. So as much as possible, instill the good values so they can bring those wherever they are.

I agree with you, communication is the best form in a relationship, whether between parents and children, husband and wife and so on. With communication we can open up any problems and can find the best solution to solve the problem. In my opinion, there should be no boundaries between parents and children, because if there are boundaries, it will create a relationship that ultimately makes communication not run smoothly.
I see now that many parents are too strict with their children, I don't think that's good. And there are parents who are too soft, which is also not good. We must always be in the right measure so that we can know what their world is like.
As parents, we don't always want to be respected, because I believe that if as parents we respect them as children, then they will also give positive feedback.
Moreover, of course we were also young, and we should know what they want so that we can establish good communication with them.

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.

So long as gambling is not so a good thing/activity especially for young teenagers;why not advice and indulge the child in financial activities like learning how to save and solving financial puzzles games that'll best build and help their knowledge at that stage and age.
Gambling education and awareness should be layed to children early against laying wrong decisions and foundations for your children because It's scandalous to permit gambling activities under your watch as a parents.

The obstacle is when the teenager has actually started gambling, even just by setting aside some of their pocket money. providing an understanding of gambling is certainly important and children must be more controlled by their parents. keeping them busy with other things may be a pretty good way. but teenagers have their own time which may require a little distance from the family.

Teenagers should be given pressure from their parents regarding gambling. they can do it when they have earned their own money and are not dependent on their parents. gambling habits at this age may further burden the needs of certain families.

[madnessteat]

Personally, I don't see any problem with this guy gambling if he uses only his own money and does not overstep the bounds of the law. I started gambling long before I came of age and I am still gambling, but I have changed my attitude to gambling radically since then.

I would advise young gamblers to pay attention to the study of cryptocurrencies and investing. It is quite an interesting area to study. Gambling is entertainment, and investing with the right approach is an opportunity to earn money.

I agree with you. Children should stay away from activities that evoke negative thoughts in their minds, such as gambling for money. He should be introduced to every educational material to develop his talents. Keep away from every financial matter regarding my children and introduce him to entertainment as well as studies so that he can be mentally happy.

If he learns about gambling at an early age, he will be interested in learning more about it and may jump into it and become addicted at some point.

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?

Legally the boy is of age to gamble if it is in my country but the very issues is the fact that he solely depends on his family for stipends. But however, he should be monitored or probably be informed about the risk that is involved in gambling, for me such child needs nothing more but guidance for now until he proves otherwise problematic because at some point no knowledge seems to be a waste, there is nothing absolutely wrong having to get to know the up and  down that are involved in gambling, perhaps an eitghen years child can be held responsible for his actions and reactions, the family should be kind enough to keep him on watch as not to be carried away and addicted. The boy too can as well think of a side hustle that can be fetching him money so as to not completely depend on the family members for stipends.

I appreciate those gamblers who can manage their gambling habits all the time. Many were trying to keep that attitude, but most of the time, they still lost their control and fell into addiction. It might be because of their mindset, but I believe this can be changed eventually if we don't focus on gambling. 

I would advise young gamblers to pay attention to the study of cryptocurrencies and investing. It is quite an interesting area to study. Gambling is entertainment, and investing with the right approach is an opportunity to earn money.

I hope they will listen to you, mate, because we've found out that most of the new generations are too emotional, which I see was easier for them to attract from temptation. They need a person who will guide them and educate their minds on the value of money and why we should spend it wisely. We've noticed that the new generation has been too far when it comes to spending habits, where most of them feel like life is too easy.

Gambling is like a drug. As a result of excessive gambling addiction, many commit various crimes mainly to earn the money they use for their gambling. In this he can steal or collect his bet money in some other way. A family member under the age of 18 is gambling. Although his family doesn't think it's a criminal act, the gambling money he steals is considered a crime. If they considered gambling as a crime, their son might not have been interested in gambling at an early age. First of all, if they stopped gambling, their son would not be addicted to it and would not have the courage to steal.

Although gambling is not illegal in our country, there is a certain age limit. If a boy or girl indulges in gambling below that certain age limit, he is considered a criminal and even socially ostracized.

A person that is a dependent no matter their age don't have any business gambling because that doesn't portray that they're responsible. It's not proper to use somebody else's hard earned money that they gave to support you and use it to gamble which is dependant on luck. What if the dependant loses all the money in gambling, it would be foolishness to meet the benefactor for another money to solve the same problem. People should gamble with the money that they worked for, knowing fully well that they're taking risk and can either gain by winning or they can lose the money. You should advice your nephew to find other recreations to engage in and only consider gambling when he stairs to make his own money.

If a boy below 18 years of age who has no income gets involved in gambling and after getting involved he becomes addicted to gambling then when he cannot manage money for gambling but he can go in wrong direction to manage money. We see many drug addicted boys and girls who, if they don't get money for drugs, misbehave with family members and commit various misdeeds. A boy under the age of 18 who is involved in gambling must be brought out of gambling addiction and the family must supervise the matter so that the boy does not become addicted to gambling. Because it will not be good for the family if the boy gets addicted to gambling and he can definitely commit such misdeeds.

You are right, mate, but the problem with some kids is that they can actually keep their habit as a secret from their parents, it's after they must have become too addicted, that's only when their parents or guidance are going to find out and by that time it might have been too late. Like you said, that's the reason why we have some young people in the street misbehaving and doing all sort illegal just to get money to gamble with.

[EarnOnVictor]

What the child did was wrong and painful at the same time, there is no justification for it, especially if the parent is not rich but still striving to give him a good life. Putting the pressure of the extra burden of gambling on her is not fair, and we should all condemn it in all ways possible. Going to the mother for it is better than stealing from another person though, who knows what could happen from there?

But still, such a child needs to be more severely punished, then advice may later follow. He doesn't have any right to gamble when he is still not making money by himself. That is why I always maintain that attaining the adult age is not even the main requisite to gambling in my opinion, you need maturity and also should have started earning for yourself before engaging in it to know how painful it is if you lose your hard-earned money, not otherwise.

Family members and biological parents are different, so if the family member who reported or told about the gambling is not worried, then it is natural, because he is only a family member and not his parents. Because after all, in reality his own mother asked him to stop and it is clear, the young man should stop if his parents have  asked him to stop. But maybe, if the young man is able to explain and convince his parents that he will be fine,  then it might not be a problem. Because after all, in reality the young man has also been proven not to do negative things like stealing or so on, because he also only gambles with his own money and will not gamble when he has no money, and that will basically still be fine.

It's hard to say if a child is involved in gambling, unless taken unawares. In as much as the underaged player no longer stays with his guardians, they'll be no way to go around the situation, other than inviting him home and recommend a rehab program or therapy session. Thus, Parents have to deal with this carefully, to retain the sanity of their wards.

Therefore, the player's pocket money should be restricted, or cut into half, such that whenever he asks for more, he'll be required to return home. Afterwards, the kid with addiction can directly be asked questions, regarding what mostly consumes his/her funds. Then, followed up with a professional therapist.

I would advise young gamblers to pay attention to the study of cryptocurrencies and investing. It is quite an interesting area to study. Gambling is entertainment, and investing with the right approach is an opportunity to earn money.

I agree. Investment instead of gambling but they also have to be careful with what they will invest with. Bitcoin should be the main focus when it comes to cryptocurrencies. But Bitcoin and let it rot.
Now, when it comes to altcoins there are so many options out there but I would still prefer Ethereum as the main altcoin to have. It's simply going with the flow of Bitcoin so you won't have to worry about it.

Gambling is an area where there is so much darkness in it. It's be killed or kill them which is a very low percentage to happen. Most gamblers are killed and they will be left with no balance remaining in their wallets.
Be wise when you gamble. Play it but don't overdo it. It's not a job, it's just a game. Think like that and you will have no worries in the future.

With communication we can open up any problems and can find the best solution to solve the problem. In my opinion, there should be no boundaries between parents and children, because if there are boundaries, it will create a relationship that ultimately makes communication not run smoothly.

As effective as communication is in bonding and building great relationship in a family, it's sadly not always applied. It's hard for most modern parents like us dealing with Gen-Z kids because of the preponderance of what is consumed on the internet. Those days, kids used to go out to gamble and that could mean parents having movement control over their children. That's not the case now as kids can lock themselves up in rooms or wherever and access any gambling sites they want.

As for someone who's financially dependant on others indulging in gambling, it's a bad idea for me. I judge it irresponsibility when I see someone gamble on funds that aren't theirs.

A wise and responsible person would be able to easily differentiate between the two and they would also know how they need to split their income in both if they are willing to do both. There is nothing wrong with being a gambler and a trader simultaneously, it's all about how you manage your finances and stay financially healthy despite having your fingers in both at the same time.

For example, if you are earning $1,000 a month, and saving $500 after all the expenses and everything, you should know how you need to divide that amount for both activities that you do. A wise person would invest $400 out of that in cryptocurrencies that they know has good potential, and use the remaining $100 for their gambling activities because they would know the amount they are using for gambling is as good as gone, so it should be an amount that they can afford to lose.

[Fiatless]

As for someone who's financially dependant on others indulging in gambling, it's a bad idea for me. I judge it irresponsibility when I see someone gamble on funds that aren't theirs.

It is better to gamble with the funds you earn instead of depending on someone financially. One can be able to control how much he puts into gambling because it is hard-earned money. Dependents might suffer from gambling disorder since they don't know how hard it is to earn money. Another problem with dependents is that they might go the extra mile to get funds to gamble if they are given money by their parents. It can make them steal or do other illegal things to raise funds to gamble.
