[bocyaj]

It is dangerous for the younger people specifically minors to engage in gambling activities because they are not developed yet to handle the temptation and most of these minors ends up being addicted to gambling, affecting their studies and relationship with others.  Gambling is never been an asset but instead many find it a liability that negatively affect young adult that resulted in harming them instead of helping them due to their immaturity and little experience handling the situation.

If the minor get involved in the gambling,they will not have the capacity to handle the loss.They may commit suicide by the small loss in the gambling,now the children doesn’t had a huge potential to handle the loss or problem.This generation had very weak heart and easy commit suicide as compared to old generation.So it’s true,we should keep the children from the gambling.Specially the children who doesn’t have completed 18 years should stay away from gambling.The negative impact of gambling should not affect the young people.

I wouldn't say that they'll straight up just think of suicide as an option to avoid their problems, but you are right that the youth of today doesn't have that much ability to try and work their way out of a difficult situation. They'll resort to a lot of self-pity instead of looking for viable solutions to their problems. I know a few people in the workplace who are like this, and honestly, they are not the best people to be around. Perhaps you can make a generalization that the youth aren't to trusted in gambling, especially in their early years. If they develop a habit of just resorting to self-pity and not looking for a solution to their problems, perhaps it will also be the same thing that they'll do when they're faced with a difficult situation that is caused by gambling.

Gambling disorders can have long-term effects on a person's ability to complete their education and choose their future, and young individuals may be particularly susceptible to acquiring these illnesses

This can only happen if they lack the guidance they need and educate them about the harmful effects of gambling, both the government and parents should protect the well-being and the future of young people because this is their hope for their country's better tomorrow, some countries are banning gambling in all their forms or restrict access of the youth to gambling platforms.

The worst that could happen to our youth is to lose their future because of gambling addiction, so parents should check for any sign or hint that their children are hooked on gambling, it's harder to cure a youth than to mature people who got addicted to gambling and so many time will be wasted.

We are all susceptible to addiction. And with young ones, they have higher risk tolerance which exposes them to gambling. People below 18 would not be aware of the consequences of their losses unlike with adults, which I think why younger individuals are being too hooked up in this industry. Realization comes earlier with adults ‘coz they value their losses more than younger people who are most of the time using money from their parents.Studies have associated addiction and gambling of young individuals to their brain structure and development. But a more sinple way to explain is that young gamblers are having a harder time quitting ‘coz they are not aware of how hard it is to earn money to just be spent in gambling.

Nah, small losses to commit suicide? Nope I don't believe that much. What I believe is  a bit worse than that eventually. Small losses isn't noticeable on the parents end, so they'll come looking to take money from their parents to try and feed their gambling urge. Suicide comes after when the kid is in deep trouble eventually that it hurts him emotionally, especially when being confronted with the parents for being crazy about gambling.
I remember someone posted a student who committed suicide because he lost all his money from gambling intended for his studies.

You're giving these minors a lot of leeway in their judgement. Not too long ago news broke out of a minor that killed themself after burning through the money that was supposed to be paid for their tuition. And while I agree that for the most part they see suicide as the answer when they feel like they are in a deep pinch, the problem is that this "deep pinch" is a little subjective so to speak. What may seem so minor to us may feel like the whole world to them. What we can only make sure of ourselves is that push comes to shove they believed there's no solving their problem when they thought of and did the ordeal.

Which is why gambling should be banned for minors, they don't have the fully-developed brains to think things through and are more prone to committing blunders than most adults.

I hard a terrible news some time ago of a teenager who commits suicide over failure to pass his ssce exams,  SSCE exam os the final exams in high school in my country and is written year,  and the teenager still have many chance to retake the exam and possibly clear his papers,  bit the that wasn't conceive in his head and at that he channelled all his energy in the wrong direction and allow depresion to set in.

Something can happen with gambling if not properly checked it resultant effect on the mental health of its victims is so bad that young lads can't comprehend it at any time.

How can people be so stupid to the extent of using your school fee and money for other important things to gamble,such person is not yet ready for life because he hasn't really known how making money is hard that's why it won't mean anything to remove the money that has been kept aside for some other important thing to gamble forgeting that no game is guaranteed anywhere.There is no assurance over any game,all games can cut,therefore,it isn't adviceable to use any money that is so important to you for any thing that relates to gambling or anything in the form of gambling.And for the aspect of youths gambling,I think it's an experience one needs to have so he would know how to advice other people coming after him about gambling and it addiction.

Theft is still a bad thing even if it is a small amount.  There is a tendency that due to gambling minors to steal a small amount from their parent's stash may develop the hobby of theft and might rob an establishment one day or steal from others.  This is another reason why the government does not let minors engage in gambling activity.  I also read that thread and as far as I know that student is a gambling addict and he already did that spending his school funds to gambling once before the incidents of spending his and his classmate school fund before committing suicide.

Gambling disorders can have long-term effects on a person's ability to complete their education and choose their future, and young individuals may be particularly susceptible to acquiring these illnesses

While gambling brings a health risk most especially for young and less knowledgeable individuals, that is why parental guidance is of high importance so that no more teens will be able to gamble unless they have reached their legal age to access gambling. Otherwise, they will become doomed and will definitely fall on the traps of gambling while leaving their education second priority next to gambling.

Parental guidance is very important to know the activities of their children because now it is easy to do what is done on cellphones including gambling which is done in hiding, so this is difficult to supervise unless they come to land gambling.

I will oppose any teenager still in education he should not gamble before making his own money and is over the age of 18+ which is the average age gambling is legalized in certain countries.
If they are not responsible and wise in gambling then this needs to be avoided.

[xSkylarx]

There is difficulty for the youth to gamble because they don't have an ID unless they might use the ID of their parents just to gamble if needing a KYC. Also if the youth still has parents he should be guided by them because it can really ruin his education and life. That is why parents should always check on their children and guide them whenever they are kind of lost in their path.

There are still hard-headed children for sure but still it is the parents duty to guide and help them mostly if they are doing gambling and make him understand the risk of it.

I totally agree with you.
Because an adult who plays frequently, in most cases already has a source of income (with which he feeds the game) and has already completed his school education, in addition to having chosen what his "destiny in life" will be.

For a young person, gambling can certainly distort this vision of the future, making them believe that they can be successful in life just with the income from betting and addicting them to an unhealthy habit and thus taking away their energy. them for this very important phase of life.

Unfortunately, 18 years old, the age at which all countries now allow gambling, is still an age at which many people are still deciding their future, and should not get involved with gambling.

[benalexis12]

An age-restricted casino app is a bad place to start playing online since minors may try to wager when they shouldn't. I applaud and encourage casinos who include age restrictions in their gambling apps for this reason.

We know that young people today are quite aggressive, so at least in this sense, you can understand the casino owner's worry that they don't want young people who are underage to face sexual harassment at an early age.

[adzino]

If it is true, then yes, rise of youth gambling is a concerning trend. While the availability of gambling options like sports betting and online platforms can play a part, it's not solely the availability that leads to addiction. We shouldn't forget about the other factors that contribute, including the allure of quick wins, the "easy money" mentality, peer pressure, and sometimes a desire for escapism which eventually leads to become a habit. Like you said and I do agree that young individuals, with their brains still developing and often lacking full impulse control, are especially vulnerable to these kind of addiction. This can derail their education and future aspirations and end up being broke and doing nothing in life.

Parents need to supervise every activity of their children so that they do not do things that are inappropriate for their children, because they cannot yet differentiate between good and bad actions, whether they are worthy of doing them or not, but if they have already committed gambling then We have to teach them that these actions are not appropriate for children to do.

I really agree with you that for those who are still studying or still in their teens, it would be better for them not to gamble, but it would be better if they carry out their education well so that they can get a decent job later and if they have worked, of course they will know that it is difficult to earn money so they can avoid gambling.

It's similar to drugs, killing a person's future particular to young people who cannot be controlled with their emotions towards gambling. Many times their excuses was only for fun, but the long term effects isn't good day by day.
They tend to become more aggressive and it became their norms as activity of gambling come to a very complicated situation. Most cases linked to taking loans, credit cards and other major loss of funds just to satisfy their cravings for winning an easy money at young age. Parents should be liable to this and it really needs their serious attention.

So what are alternatives to gambling where the youth can keep themselves involved and do not find time to gamble? They need something more interesting things so that can spend less time on gambling and more time on other activities.

To be very honest, if a young person gambles very often, it will become a habit and he may not want to work in life but solely depend upon gambling, which is not right in my point of view. A younger person should do something in life and gamble only for fun or as a part time hobby. Do not make it a full-time job as it may ruin your life.

I agree that availability of gambling nowadays can be a very strong point when comes to an increase of youth gambling, but there are other factors as well, which we are not supposed to ignore. For example, neglected children are more likely to engage in activities like gambling, alcohol consumption and drug abuse. So, instead blaming all this onto the easy and legitimate access to gambling, we are also supposed to take a look on problems regarding the strength of couples and child protection, in general.

yes but if we think about The prevention of underage gambling is greatly helped by parents and other adult carers. They need to be cautious, inform their kids about the dangers of gambling, and keep an eye on their online behaviour.

I don’t think that “young people” have as much ability to gamble using traditional methods due to the roadblocks involved. More likely youth gambling is encouraged more by schoolyard bets over games or even bets with their friends about other things. Could this be a path to gambling addiction? Maybe. I also think it is quite normal behavior.

It is true that due to age limits and other impediments, young people sometimes have restricted access to traditional gambling venues like casinos or betting shops. However, given the availability of internet gambling venues, some minors could still discover methods to bet.

[btctodamon]

The accessibility of gambling options can indeed pose risks to young people. But that fact alone is not enough to make someone develop a gambling addiction or other related mental disorders. Things like socio-economic conditions, family relationships, quality of education, peer influences ... all can play a role.

yes if we Inform young people about the dangers and repercussions of gambling, especially the possibility of addiction
