Violence and anger could be a sign of gambling addiction in youths

[tjtonmoy]

Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.

The competition is high, the population is still growing, price of things is getting expensive. And the opportunity to make decent money to live is becoming harder and harder. The more time goes by more difficult it will become. So the concept of quick money will grow among youths. If we don't create more opportunities for those who are jobless, how can we tackle this situation? Imagine a 28 years old staying in the house with a degree just because there aren't any opportunity to make a living. All those years of efforts to get a degree will mean nothing.

Gambling was never the solution to poverty. It is a way of entertainment. This kind of situation you mentioned in the OP only occurs when a gambler get addicted to gambling. I think we should focus more on teaching people how to avoid getting addicted to gambling. That will sure help IMO.

It is necessary to have proof that these people who you said have violent behavior are addicted to gambling and you have to see if when they are gambling their behavior is aggressive or if they behave in a natural way. Violence often comes from people who are frustrated with life, especially when they have a lack of money and material goods and problems at work. That's why it's very important to observe people in which situations they become violent and in which situations they remain calm. For example, there are cases where a person is very calm, but one day a woman gets pregnant and then that woman's relatives force that person to marry that woman, after marriage that man starts to be a frustrated person.

He develops violent behavior, starts physically attacking his wife, he blames her for having lost all his youth, he blames his wife for missing outings with friends to take care of the child. Another scenario is children who feel that because their parents are poor they suffer humiliation, in this scenario the children become very violent people, they are constantly fighting in the streets and at home and the parents get tired of them and send them away from home, and As a result, children end up on the streets taking drugs and committing crimes

Now about gambling, it's difficult for people who gamble and become addicted to become violent, while people addicted to drugs and alcohol become violent, you need to investigate if they don't keep consuming drugs, I highly doubt anyone will become violent because of gambling. There is nothing about gambling that causes people to be violent

I knew this gentle soul growing up in my street, who just turned 24 years old and now he was into gambling without anyone knowing at home for the past 1 year, the only point that I hold unto from his mother is how he maltreated his junior brothers and sisters and he also have anger issues.

I have come to understand that having a negative impact on people close to you or your family could be a sign of compulsive gambling, to the extent that this boy start maltreating his junior ones, I mean inflicting pains on them.

Gambling more than your financial capacity can cause anger issues. That young man might be suffering from a gambling disorder that needs counseling or medical attention before it gets out of hand. Other issues can lead to this kind of misbehavior such as drug use or peer pressure. I suggest you call the attention of the parents or have a chat with the young man if possible.

The other two cases that I knew about gambling addict ( one in the family ) also have something similar to this behaviour, anger issues, criminal activities like burglary and disrespect of parents, I think countries with high rate of struggles and hardship will always have this type of problems.

Engaging in productive activity is one of the ways of not relying on gambling as a source of income. Youths should focus on skill acquisition and not quick returns from gambling. Gambling education is another means of discouraging addiction. The public should be informed about the negative effects of gambling addiction and people that are suffering from gambling disorders should be given the needed attention. Families,  religious organizations, schools,  and NGOs should promote awareness programs to discourage the get-rich-quick syndrome ravaging society.

That's happen in every addictions e.g. drugs, sex, smoking, alcohol etc and someone who have a low self control or egoism for keep asking to fulfill their desire. Let's say you was a kid and asking a chocolate to your mom, your mom not want to buy it and you will angry to her.

Such signs are really common, it's something normal and you can't use this signs to say they're a gambling addict.

Yes, this has to do with utility or happiness of the person, if they can't get what they want, definitely being sad is the only option. What Op is saying about this person is in relation to your idea. I mean, if the gambling addict keeps losing money, he'll get sad and angry. Which attitude, he'll transfer to his younger ones and brutalize them.  Because whatever we want is like a force or gravity, reason why addicts gamble again after losing out so much in gambling. Well for the case of the guy Op talked about, gambling may not be the only source of his anger. People grow up differently, and it affects their situation; trauma, hatred and emotionless. In most part of the world, in a family, elderly ones maltreat their younger ones, despite not being into gambling. Hence, gambling contributes to his behavior, not completely or fully. On the other hand, if a player who is broke, thinks so much of his gambling losses he'll get angry and can get aggressive. In such a state of mind, anything can irritate them. And leads to fight and quarreling amongst close friends and family.

OP, if you want to help the person, talk to them about seeing a psychotherapist at an early stage. Because excessive anger is caused by depression or leads to trauma. Low self esteem out of things not working the way it should, also affects such a person on the long run to stay aggressive. If left unattended the symptoms can escalate to a severe problem, that will be intoxicating to the society at large. Get close to them, talk to them about your problems and they'll easily voice out theirs. Then usher in a soft advise, that'll change the person's mental reasoning.  Recommend seeing a caring therapist, as people are easily suicidal in a world filled with difficulties as today.

It could be a sign of gambling addiction, but it could also be a sign of stress, anxiety, and depression or basically just being a bad human being lol. It depends on the person actually. If it is known that they have anger issues and violent tendencies, it's much better to tell it as a concern citizen so they can address it and they can resolve it. You may check up on them every once in a while, but not in a way that you are intruding their privacy and personal space. Just don't meddle too much especially if you're not really concerned and just want to pry on someone else's life.

It could be that it is his character and not his gambling because it all depends on the individual because many gamblers or addicts are not like that either, and my advice is to just leave him like that until he is involved with the police and punished.
And maybe that way he will realize his actions, because they have harmed other people and even his own family.
And in my opinion, people like that cannot be advised and if they don't like them they will fight, it's better to just ignore them.

From the negative stories I have found on internet, there are two possible ways a person struggling with gambling loses can show his feelings: either through anger or depression.

The case you are describing is an obvious one on someone who does not have control over their feelings and prefer to direct his hatred towards others to cope with the fact he lost money, instead of the easy win he expected to get.

On the other hand, there are cases like that African youth who lost his college fund due to sport betting and instead redirecting that pain towards other, he decided to end his existence, basically depression.

Neither case is a good one and neither of both outcomes are a happy one , hence why true money management and responsibility is important, not only for gambling but in general.

There are many cases of violence in which the perpetrator does not engage in gambling activity. Violence can be relate to the upbringing from being a kid witnessing violence which the kid will grow up thinking violence can be justified if inflicted on someone who he thinks deserves it.

But for a grown-up man, it's more of a money problem that makes him irate with his surroundings. For a man who can't do something to earn, he will really be irate and would seek someone to blame. It's not always a gambling addiction but you will relate it to gambling addiction if the guy loses money and turns violent.

[Jemzx00]

I'm not invalidating your story that what these people experienced or have become, actually, I do sympathize with you knowing that people you know and your relatives have struggled with these situation. However, I do think that they're problem isn't about gambling addiction but rather something else such as family or personal problem, trauma, or even a possibility of usage of illegal substance. Whereas, gambling only made these underlying problem worst.

I've personally known people who are like these but aren't even gambling where they'll be too aggressive or easily be irritated by anything and some even stole money or items such as appliances, jewelries, devices or even anything they find that they can make money off whether it's from someone they know or not just to buy illegal substance.

As for your question, it varies depending on each individual situation on how they can easily avoid gambling however lecturing them is one way start it off.

[slapper]

The youth of today. Seeking for the easy way out at all times, don't they? They would rather gamble and hope for the big win than put in the effort to earn a living via hard work. What happens if they don't win the lottery? Then, of course, everyone else is to blame. When you can easily blame the world, why accept responsibility?

And the whole stuff about anger? The classic. It's similar to a warning indication of a compulsive gambler. After they lose their bet, their little brother is blamed for breathing too loudly. Sounds really reasonable, doesn't it?

How can we keep these kids on track? Maybe we should just tell them that every time they gamble, a unicorn loses its horn. It ought to work that way. Jokes aside, though, the problem is deeply ingrained, and a magic wand won't solve it. It's a mix of guidance, encouragement, and perhaps even a little tough love

A person can be violent regardless if he's into gambling or not. It can be because of his childhood trauma and past but that shouldn't be a reason enough to fall into gambling addiction or even hurt the people around him.
We can't always blame our past or even our environment because it is our personal choice to do gambling . We can actually manage to control our emotions if we are wise enough to do the right things efficiently. It will always be our personal choice on which path we shall take. We can gamble without violence or without hurting anyone.

When the situation of the country is too hard to comprehend, youths who are supposed to be the future leaders will start turning into criminals in front of us.

This is the third case that have happened to someone very close to me ( not family ), and they all have one thing in common, SPOUSE ABUSE and CRIME.

I knew this gentle soul growing up in my street, who just turned 24 years old and now he was into gambling without anyone knowing at home for the past 1 year, the only point that I hold unto from his mother is how he maltreated his junior brothers and sisters and he also have anger issues.

I have come to understand that having a negative impact on people close to you or your family could be a sign of compulsive gambling, to the extent that this boy start maltreating his junior ones, I mean inflicting pains on them.

It is the choices we make in life as we grow that will help shape our future. As you have stated, you grow up together with this person in particular but you choose the part that will be most beneficial to you positively despite the everyday challenges.
Those who express their anger and frustration in gambling and crimes have no excuse except to face the consequences of their actions because they can also choose to toil the right part.
There are thousands of ways youth can manage to avoid crimes but the major problem with today's youth is trying to live in the Fastlane.
Gambling is not the solution to getting out of a financial hole, rather you get sunk even deeper. Thanks to social media, almost everyone is a content creator, get creative.

Okay lets focus first about that poverty thing,presuming that the individual been involved do really include out on a family which are really that not good when it comes to financial status and turns out that one of their members did really turn out to be a gambler just because they are really that eager on winning money with gambling because of such condition then it would really be building up that kind of eagerness and
really that dedicated and molding up that kind of desperation on which if the results wont really be going as you do plan knowing that gambling does result most likely in negative then upset and anger would really be
there and control would really be entirely be depending on a certain individual since there are ones who are really that good on controlling their emotions or simply their anger and there are ones who cant really just resist on making out those harsh actions despite on facing or been together with their own family.

It would really be creating that kind of action if you are that someone whose desperate on making some money and ending up on devastated instead on getting those gains on which 20+ age arent that
young anymore i should say on which these age brackets are already that mature enough and able to distinguish between good or bad things. We know that regret do always come at the end and if you do make yourself that tolerate into those things that you do have in mind which are bad act ones then expect on what would be the consequences if things turns out to be severe.
It would really just matter with common sense and control towards your emotions and mindset because you wont really be ending up on a disaster if you are really just that
responsible with your spending. Gambling isnt bad but on the time that you are treating it as a source of income then this is where things becomes shit.

Effective way in general? I think there is none.

These youths are obviously have their own family. It will depend on how these youths will grow up on that family. Their own family will construct them to become a better and responsible person while they are growing up. Just trust them to grow up nicely.

We can't solely just consider gambling as the reason why turned sh*t.

I do not think that gambling addiction make this person do these things.  This kind of attitude is already embedded on your friend core value and just getting out due to frustration of not being able to gamble.  I have known many gamblers in my neighborhood but not all of them resort to this kind of violence.

This is all about moral issues I believe.  If the person had been brought up by parents correctly, there should not be a problem like this.  This kind of attitude reflects the core value of the person.  Probably the better thing to do is be influenced by religious group or be rehabilitated if already in the situation of being addicted to gambling

I don't really support the case of attributing violence and anger to gambling addiction alone.
 The youths who engage in gambling too much are simply too jobless or don't have any real responsibility, else there wouldn't be the thought to spare to anger or become violent knowing the consequences of such behavior.
What's more a sign is when they get moody too often mostly on days when others are simply enjoying themselves and having a good time.

Look, what you say is a small factor in the phenomena that occur in our lives, the environment and even the family. It's not just a problem with gambling, so you have to look for data and percentages to compare how fatal the consequences are. on the other hand, the tendency towards other addictions is more extreme than gambling. There are many addicts who not only commit violence against the people around them, they don't even discriminate as to who their victims are, including hurting themselves. 

Drug addiction can usually be more fatal in cases of violence where a person's psychological condition is very unstable and can change at any time. Likewise in the case of gambling, you don't need to become an addict when you experience defeat, especially if it involves big money. There will be anger that arises within you, if you are unable to suppress it. will ruin your mood, and affect psychological changes. When you are disturbed, you will easily be provoked by emotions which can have fatal consequences, such as the case you described in this thread.

Well, this problem is not just a government problem. However, so does our role as citizens in government itself. The point is, it depends on how a person uses reason and a healthy mind. that in gambling, it is not an opportunity to get rich quickly. and an effective and useful way for young people is that they must be aware and utilize their own resources towards a better future. If it doesn't start from oneself, whatever the government does in any program will not work well and be on target. The point is, does this have anything to do with gambling in general?.

Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.

It is not only people who are trying to beat poverty that gamble, many rich people still gamble but show these character of violence, aggression and anger. So it cannot just be gambling alone, but can also be linked with financial insecurity. Some people easily get angry, violent or aggressive near the point where they do not have enough money for expenditures. This is why people who gamble and loose money start feeling insecure financially because they are loosing money, so they become easily angry, violent or aggressive.

i believe, one thing to combat this kind of behaviour is thru education. if the younger gen will devote themselves to educating themselves, they won't resort to this kind of violence or better yet this path of addiction.
as they will learn more about how to earn good money, they will have other things to think about on how to improve their living by other means, like finding real job.

The youth are the responsible person in the country,if the country use their youth wisely.The economy of the country itself increase in the huge way,China is the big example for the usage of youth in good way.Some gambler after getting addiction to the game,they start to do crime to earn money like kidnap of their relations child.The gambler will do this after they not able to manage the money for their future game.So the experienced gamblers will not suppose to advice the freshers to get addicted to the gameling,mostly they advice to play gambling with he gap.
