Among young people is a result of the availability of gambling alternatives, such as sports betting and online 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

There are young gamblers who will tell you they were able to see themselves through school from the win they got from gambling. Not every young gamblers has a negative effect of gambling. Everything should be done in moderation but when we neglect that warning, we pay the price of addiction. Gambling is not that bad a thing if we can know when to restrict our involvement. Those who gamble with money they will regret loosing are the ones who should stop gambling. If they continue gambling after series of loses it will put alot of weight on their health and that is a dangerous thing.

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.

agree with your arguments that Educate parents, teachers, and other carers about the warning signs of problem gambling in children and how to get treatment.

[Kakmakr]

Yes, that is true....

The the thing is, parents of these kids that are allowing them to gamble are more at fault here than the casino that are not aware of that. Some parents are not allowing it, but they might create an opportunity for them to do it. (Example : Leaving Kids unsupervised for many hours in the day or simply allowing them to do whatever they like on their mobile phones or computer devices)

So, when kids get addicted to gambling... parents blame the casinos... but it was their responsibility to monitor their kids and to prevent them from doing things that they were not allowed to do.

Young minds indulging themselves in gambling has far-reaching effects not only for the individual but also for the country. They are risking their future and money to get rich quickly. Mental health issues are also a major concern. The person will not perform well in academics or sports. Once they become addicted, there is no turning back. The easy availability of gambling fueled these issues. These online betting sites need to set higher age limits for the participants. Awareness campaigns and effective prevention strategies should be worked out by the governments as well as by the schools.

Also
Stress the significance of observing the legal gambling age. Teach kids that gambling is a mature activity and that it is not permitted for minors.

Not only resposibelity of school or governments also Encourage honest and open discussion on gaming. Children should feel safe approaching their parents with any queries or worries they may have regarding gaming.

Supervision and guidance from parents are very necessary to prevent their children from gambling because with an approach from their parents, children will understand the impact of gambling on their mental health. By always explaining to their children and being assisted by supervision from the school and government, children will feel safe socializing because these children's interactions can make them curious about online gambling games. Many of them end up getting trapped in online gambling without anyone knowing. Moreover, nowadays many children are starting to get addicted to playing online games on their phones, which requires attention from their parents.

So, when kids get addicted to gambling... parents blame the casinos... but it was their responsibility to monitor their kids and to prevent them from doing things that they were not allowed to do.  

Prevention from parents is definitely carried out by them but only by confirming the prohibition verbally, usually up to that point and for their own supervision, I think the parents themselves do this, but when the child is at home. Meanwhile, today's teenagers who in fact always carry their cellphones wherever they go cannot be controlled, and it is also difficult for parents not to give them cellphones in this day and age, where at their age carrying a cellphone will be a resistance in itself, if it is via computer media I think they are definitely monitoring.

The sad thing is that parents blame casinos for their children's addiction, but I think that those who are teenagers certainly already have a mindset and can sort out what is good and what is bad. The conclusion is that it is the child's own fault in choosing their social environment. , from the average I have noticed, the interactions that quickly bring a child to gambling.

With these widely available online tools gambling is easy for everyone of every age now.While FIAT casinos ask for an ID card as a minimum before playing in the cryptocurrencies arena it is completely different as KYC maybe asked only if you win big amounts or try to withdraw big amounts,for small amounts no one will ask anything even reputable casinos will not do so right away after you register.

The only solution to this is to spread awareness of gambling consequences in the youth of today,they remain very much susceptible to such online threats and while they may complete their education their concentration at work or everywhere else will be reduced.

Of the many gambling companies that operate, they have a good attitude in implementing age limits for those allowed to play. One positive thing that many gambling companies have is that they apply a limit of +18 to be allowed to play, considering that gambling is not an activity that can guarantee players will be rich and is not an arena that promises players will not become addicted.

Gambling sites do restrict under-18s from registering on their sites, which is very good. But not all of them implement it, and if all the gambling sites implement this method, we will have a limited number of gambling addictions in the world today. As we all know, teenagers do things without thinking twice about the advantages and disadvantages of what they are about to do.

However, under-18s still register on some of these sites. They put the wrong date of birth that will be above or above the age required for them to derive their pleasure from this gambling thing, so people easily break these rules implemented by those sites.

Before entering the age of +18, there is still time for young people to learn about the negative effects of being involved in various types of gambling. There is still time for parents to provide education about their future.
Those gambling companies don't need to be blamed because they are in business and they operate with a license.

Most of the people who gamble today don’t have that time to learn the negative side of gambling, and that is why, in the end, we get bad results from how gambling affects some people's lives today.

A gambling site will not be blamed if someone gets addicted to gambling because they run their own business, and as someone who wants to sell, you don’t have to restrict anybody from buying what you are selling, so it’s now the duty of our parents to train their children or make themselves busy so that you will be prevented from getting addicted to gambling, especially the young ones who easily get used to something.

Mostly young women are more addicted to gambling because they take a lot of money from family for personal work. Sports betting and online gambling are now played by people of all ages because it is a good and easy way to double your money. There are some people in my home eraa who save money before gambling and make a lot of money even though luck is with them. You should keep your mind alert while playing gambling and if you repeatedly lose from the bet, you should bet on another category. You should not deposit all your money in the casino and keep some money for your family expenses.

Yes, it creates a negative psychological impact which could affect our behavior and thinking. There are no exemptions on this as anyone who gets involved in gambling whether you are young or adult, still has the possibility to suffer such a disorder if not controlled.
Gambling should not be taken seriously as it may lead to addiction which usually happens to those gamblers who are spending more time doing this. More often those individuals who are jobless and seeking a way to earn money which brought them into gambling think that this will be the solution to their problem.

For those who have never been affected by gambling, it would be very good for us to hope that they don't try it because when they try to play it can make them experience difficulties in stopping, as has happened to many players.
Addiction is an impact that must be experienced. If you are at the addiction stage, everything can fall apart and your life will no longer be organized, from education to other things. It really doesn't matter anymore. That's why it's better for the younger generation who haven't been exposed to gambling games to avoid them.

I agree, young generation can easily access online casinos. Some of them actually know more on how to access internet compared to the other old people. They can now also submit a fake ID to pass KYC. There's a lot of gambling ads nowadays, young people can start anytime that's why they need to be supervised and have a heart to heart talk to understand that there is a right time to enter gambling.

Imagine a matured adult who have a lot more experience in life and how much money is important to provide our needs still get addicted to gambling, what more to the young kids right? For sure they would think it as a game literally which is fun, but they are not still aware of the consequence of risking money cause when they started to lose funds, not only that their psychological thinking would be affected, cause if they started to be violent and their behavior of course the people in their surroundings which affect families such as arguments. That's what I've actually observed that they are started to lose the people that supports them due to their toxic behavior that they adapted from gambling.

After all it's their choice why they want to gamble or get dragged into gambling, young people are more interested in smoking and having sex because they're prefer to playing video games rather than gambling.

No one can stop them to gamble even the government, parents, teachers etc are working together.

[Gozie51]

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

Young age is a volatile age that the parents or those responsible for the young need to give proper attention to the child especially at a certain age because no matter the information that you give on the repercussions of gambling, that young person may still have to go out of his way to try whatever his head is thinking even based on what you have told him. So it depends on the child if he has the gene of rascality, precocious or trying to unravel things around him. Some young person are scared to go out of what you have discouraged them while some want to know why and why things are that way. I think it depends on the child and sometimes experience is the best teacher when they have seen the negative aspect or outgrown such youthful exuberance.

We as parents should check if our children are into gambling, It is more dangerous if the fertile mind of a child is being dragged to gambling, the worst that a parent can suffer is for her children to fall into addiction because time is wasted and the future of the children will be in jeopardy, the government and the parents should work hand in hand to make sure that no children will fall into any kind of addiction.
Even the gambling platform should see to it that they are not serving minors they will have their license canceled, and everything should be done so that no children fall into addiction.

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.

The parents and the government should work hand in hand to protect the youth from engaging into gambling and fall as gambling addicts. As much as they become more aggressive with gambling because of the huge profits it promised, parents should be also be more keen observers to their kids so they won’t do things that will probably make them regret in the future. By educating them and making them aware of gambling consequences, I think that way they will learn how to avoid gambling.

It is the environment that influences this, which may initially just be for fun when meeting with friends (hanging out), but in the end it leads to gambling addiction. Adolescence is the age where someone is still making adjustments from childhood to adulthood and it is true that they are vulnerable to this. This is because they (teenagers) do not yet have maturity in thinking, so what they think is fun to do, they will do that, namely gambling.

So this is where the role of parents is important to monitor and pay attention to children's growth and development, including their relationships.
