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

[Juse14]

In my opinion, apart from that, the most prominent thing about a teenager that can show that he is addicted to gambling is when he has the behavior of often lying to his parents and other people. When they are teenagers, of course their finances are very limited and most of them can only rely on their parents as their source of finances. So quite a few of them, in order to satisfy their lust for gambling, often lie to their parents so they can get more money apart from the pocket money their parents give them every day.

The main reason behind the increase percentage of crime is poorness, if each individual have equal opportunities and they have each and everything that is necessary for life then they will never move towards crime. People hardly fulfil their needs due to which they accept to capture money from others and become a gambler after which they also don't shy to become a thief.

Parents should take it serious and from start they should teach their children about it but some parents think gambling as a simple activity of fun but at the end gamblers become cause cause of their hardship and torture them that if they don't give them money they will do something bad with them.

Committing a crime is not a choice but rather a compulsion because there is a need that they must fulfill as soon as possible and at the same time their finances cannot answer that need. In my opinion, if a teenager is born into a family that is financially well off, then that teenager who is addicted to gambling will prefer to lie to his parents in order to get more money rather than having to commit a crime which has quite a big risk which could be threatening his own life.

So this is where the role of parents is needed to continue to pay attention to their children's growth and development and their relationships, because once they are trapped and addicted to the world of gambling, this will trigger them to do other negative things such as lying to their parents or selling family assets without their parents' knowledge.

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.

Can we control the youths? They have their own mind to think what's right or wrong.

Some are just not fortunate that turned up being the bad person and at some point, some are forced to do violence for the sake of money as they have no choice because of personal problems. Fortunately, there are youths that being guided properly by their parents or guardians and are currently on the right track.

There is no effective way to make sure youths stay where they are being told. They have their own decision and don't want to be controlled. Let's just do our best to guide them no matter what and give them a nice talk, especially those youths that are already in the worst status of their life.

Controlling is the wrong way of doing things, especially when it comes to the youth. They have all means to access information whenever they like, and it is up to them to put good use into what they learn. They have to learn the hard way sometimes in order to stay away from these negative things that we view. You can't really expect yourself to be holding the hands of the youth along the way. The more you try to steer them away from something, the stronger their curiosity will be on that particular thing.

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.

The boy might be addicted to gambling and might be facing a great loss, that's why he is just transferring aggression on his younger brother and sister. I am sure if he is not facing any loss, then he won't just be getting angry unnecessarily, but maybe the amount he has lost is what's disturbing him emotionally. I think he really needs proper monitoring, or he might end up doing things that he is not supposed to do.

The main reason behind the increase percentage of crime is poorness, if each individual have equal opportunities and they have each and everything that is necessary for life then they will never move towards crime.

Being impoverished does not give you permission to do crimes. There are many individuals around you who will be better than you, but they are not committing crime, Poorness shouldn't be the reason for committing crime. I find it annoying when someone give a justification for doing crime. You cannot be satisfied with what you have in life. Everyone will always aspire to be richer, but that doesn't mean we should commit crimes. Even if everyone has the same opportunities, they will all still desire more.

Parents should take it serious and from start they should teach their children about it but some parents think gambling as a simple activity of fun but at the end gamblers become cause cause of their hardship and torture them that if they don't give them money they will do something bad with them.

Even if parent take it seriously, it won't stop the child from gambling. The best thing I will recommend is proper education about gambling. Don't tell them gambling is bad, but tell them gambling addiction is bad. You have to be honest with them, just tell them possible things that can be done to avoid gambling addiction and the negative effects of gambling addiction. If you are planning to spoil the gambling reputation of your children, then you are getting it wrong, because if they end up trying to gamble, and if they notice what you told them is wrong, then they will never believe anything you tell them about gambling, they might end up gambling hidden without the parent knowing.

I gambled in the past, still gamble but, have far more control over my gambling now than ever. In fact, I often gamble on the live games and establish a niche for my gambling. Like, that’s how much control I’ve got over the activity.
I never considered myself an addict but, I had a point where it was just another part of my weekly activity if I had funds for it and in most case, gambled because I wanted to win. The reality to the game made me cut these down but, I never had to maltreat anyone for satisfaction.

Gambling for a course of youths aggression? I think not. One of the drive for youths to seek easy money through gambling is because they’ve got no jobs. Give them a job and see some of them withdrawn from the activity.

Be it as it may, people have got a side they show to those that are close by and a side for those that observe at a distance. The two are never the same but, they are a part of the same person. It could be activated bu something but, it’s not caused by that thing. It’s always been there!

Lying just for the money is an early sign of addiction because that is the start when you will do whatever you like even if you are not allowed to. Violence is worst when an addicted gambler was not able to gamble, and of course you can also see this if the gambler losses the money. There’s a lot of form of addiction, and if you already have the worst sign, better to treat it seriously.

Parent's cannot control what the youth is thinking but parents can control what they wanted the kids to witness.  Other people also have influence towards the youth and this influence can be use to affect youth's judgement and actions.

Some are just not fortunate that turned up being the bad person and at some point, some are forced to do violence for the sake of money as they have no choice because of personal problems. Fortunately, there are youths that being guided properly by their parents or guardians and are currently on the right track.

All people have money problem but some are just rotten eggs that prefer violence to solve their money issue.  Being aggressive is probably part of their DNA and without proper guidance and control, these people are unable to restrain themselves from doing these violent things.

There is no effective way to make sure youths stay where they are being told. They have their own decision and don't want to be controlled. Let's just do our best to guide them no matter what and give them a nice talk, especially those youths that are already in the worst status of their life.

You have answer the most effective way to infuence youth and that is by guiding them and reminding them in a calm manner that violence is not a solution to any problem, it can worsen it and might possibly bring the youth to more trouble.

When gambling addiction hits you hard, your behavior as a son or as a brother might somehow be put at a risk especially if you keep on betting and spend huge amount, and yet you are still not seeing any decent winnings. So instead of hating the gambling site, your anger might be pass to your family members who have no idea at all why you’re acting so strange and wild. This kind of situation is not new anymore, as greed will be the center of your life so the empathy and care that your family needs will be out of the picture already. And you will learned your lesson only once your family decides to leave you for good once the situation becomes worst.

That topic is a stretch. Sure, gambling addiction can cause all sorts of problems in behavior, but so can every other addiction so my first thought when i see violence and anger wouldn't be that they must be gambling.

What you are talking about is an addiction. And there are ways to combat that. Persons who are more susceptible to addictions shouldn't try to gamble without an exit plan. Sadly people with problems rarely admit that they have a problem and usually they need to hear that from someone else before they spend all of their money. I am glad that you have found the negative aspects of it, but i don't see preventing others to gamble being a viable, or any kind of solution. To most of us it's just fun pastime.

Really hard to tell on whats the source of that anger or kind of behavior because we know that we arent just simply dealing with gambling in our entire lives or time.There are things which we are involved with and not really just that limited to gambling on which it might really be causing up that kind of outcome which temper or sudden burst of emotion is something  that can be seen.On the time that you would really be that
kind of impulsive or something that do really getting in line with your temper on which coming into a point on which you wont really be able to control then this one signifies that you are really that addicted to it.
There's no exemption whether you are old or young because addiction hits you on the time that you would really be finding yourself not to be responsible towards your actions.
If you do find yourself having that kind of spending which is already more than on what you can afford to lose then this is the time you should really be that stopping completely.

No doubt that availability of jobs will get many youths out of the street and that will reduce their exposure to vices as they say that an idle mind becomes the devils workshop, just meaning when you don't have meaningful things or positive things to do then you are likely to get into wrong things. So job creation will shift the focus of some youths away from gambling because many don't profit from it and when they see an alternative in jobs, they are likely going to throw in the towel on gambling and face their jobs.

However, the picture you painted in the body of your post that the effect of gambling is the reason of anger and maltreating of the siblings, this I doubt. That boy may have that gen from the parents especially from the father. He has anger spirit and nature of being wicked, except gambling failure only amplified it. Otherwise, every gambler who loses money should beat their wife's up, their mother or girl friends.

Anger is part of emotion. Everything have got a reason. We can't conclude that it had happened out of gambling. People are expressive and there is always difference in it when one is happy and one is sad. If the same person had been lucky to win, surely the way of his approach would've been different. Every gambler used to be good and the goodness lies on ones win/loss.

As most users have mentioned, gambler could've got the anger by nature. It could've come out of him while experiencing a loss. People doesn't know the way to express it. Maybe if the loss experienced can be shared to someone else, surely he will be able to overcome the anger that exist upon his siblings.

The gambling addiction was the unstoppable,the gambler should get away from the gambling addiction by following some steps.When the children started to hide from their parents,it leads to the huge involvement of the children.So finally the children involve in the financial crime to get the money for the gambling game.When the gambler try to lie to their parents at the beginning,the same lie will be the permanent one.The kids lie to their parents till he get into the job after their graduation.

The gambler should reduce their anger in the game,because the gambler will start to attack the gambling sites after the loss by blaming the gambling site.But the fact is the gamblers should take this as the gambling responsibility of money involved in the gambling.Because the gambling had both win or loss based on the luck.Don’t blame the gambling site for the loss and to be mature before start to play the gambling.No gambler ask the win,why they win the game and say was asked at the loss of money.

If the addicts gamble with loans, their salary won't change the behavior. It'll only make the person a high roller. Funneling lots of vulnerable to his career. I don't think gambling addiction revolve around jobless people. Gambling has taken jobs away from employees. The solution is kindness. Having conversation with gambling addicts. Inviting them for outings, parties and other social gatherings. Will engage them and brush away some time spent on gambling. But, the society today is not conducive to them. Thereby boosting the number of gambling addicts in the communities, regardless of their financial status. CEOs gamble. If the aggressive and the financial destructive gambling addict is shown the other side of this world. He'll learn to adjust, and fix his life. Hence, it'll gradually spread and reduce the high rate of gamblers. So, if gambling is not a solution to poverty, it is not also a solution to more wealth. For the rich folks. The very rich go broke because of gambling. Being financially stable doesn't solve it. A sustainable social activities will easily bounce out gambling addiction. I know it'll sound difficult, since these addicts don't think of other things. One would wonder how to constantly win a gambling addict over to a party. They may influence their non gambling friends. Thousands of reasons have reduced the care loved ones give to their suffering gambling addictive friends. I've seen many addicts change. Because they hang out with non gamblers. Good peers make great changes to the society. In most cases, it's not planned. The addict gets compassionate with the non gamblers, accidentally. And tend to change by seeing how their friends live life. That means if the people invest kindness to help reduce gambling addicts, it'll be easier to achieve than any other available method.

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.

I think it might be true and there is a possibility that the child may have a gambling addiction problem, but I don't think that can be concluded just like that because if we talk about problems related to a person's temperament or emotions, it could be triggered by many things not just a gambling addiction problem, right?.
If someone is addicted to gambling then he will definitely cause problems such as often asking for money by force to gamble, but here the problem you are saying is, does he only have problems related to his anger because of bullying his juniors and younger siblings? If that's the only problem, it's possible that he just has a personality problem because he is an individual who has a high temperament and has a character who likes to bully.

In my opinion, a way that might be effective in dealing with gambling addiction problems in today's young generation is to provide early introduction and special education about all forms of juvenile delinquency, including gambling addiction problems in schools or educational institutions. Because in my opinion, if the younger generation is introduced to several problems or deviations that are often faced by teenagers, then it is possible that their self-control will be less developed because they have been introduced to the risks and negative impacts of several deviant behaviors, one of which is the problem of gambling addiction.

[STT]

Short temper will not win the game, its a sign of someone losing the game for sure and I have to agree that could relate to gambling addiction or any addiction would relate to this loss of control imo.  Unfortunately I've seen it a few times myself, a normally reasoned person loses their full capability to think through a situation and just ends up reacting badly to almost every event in their lives. Its time to step away and take some time  out in this situation, step away from gambling as you wont win anyway; however not all can or even want to step off ride and go slow.

Is it not about money? Any CEO can fall into the trap, and a big pay won't change anything. The problem of gambling addiction affects more than only the unemployed, you're right. A problem that transcends wealth

What matters? Kindness, as you mentioned. Helping an addict see the world from another perspective. The casino isn't as important as friends and socialising. It shows that life is more than dice and roulette

How do we ensure that these outings and gatherings don't inadvertently turn into another gambling opportunity? This is a complicated topic, but your understanding illuminates a solution. It's about assisting, caring, and investing in people. It's about showing that friendship, love, and support exist beyond gambling. The path is difficult yet worthwhile
