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

[Westinhome]

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.

The gambler who had loss the game and get short temper in the offline gambling will attack the gambling owner for their loss,but this should be avoided.The loss in the gambling is the common one,So the gambler should I understand the gambling loss is the common one and the gambler should take responsibility for their loss.The violence is not thje solution for the loss in the gambling,the gambling itself low you to make a big win in one day.So the gambling loss can be easily recovered by the gambling itself.To recover the loss,the gambler should not do the gambling without the limit.The gambler only follow the free money in the gambling to get back their loss money in the gambling.

Honestly gambling with moderation wouldn't have much effect on the gambler unlike addicted ones who would always transfer aggression to other people like friends, close family members etc after incurring severe losses, addicted gambler had done more harm to a lot of people simply because they couldn't curtain their anger obviously it is natural to always get angry when things goes wrong, however to avoid this kind of anomaly is to gamble with the amount of money you can afford to lose or quit gambling, of course losing a small portion of money wouldn't cause any harm to the gambler as well as their temper.

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 could also be a sign of mental health illness, emotional heart breaks, financial problems or even could be a sign of drugs and substance abuse.
Not everytime does the negative issues with youth has to be caused by gambling, it's best to do your proper investigation on the person so as to help him/her out than just labelling the cause to be due to gambling side.

I have been gambling for a long while now and I know several gamblers who started before me and we all have happy homes, we do have bad days and just like anyone can have a bad day at work, school, business, investment and all you just find a way to deal with it logically.

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.

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.

This is a form of domino effect of gambling addiction. And this domino effect will be worse than just gambling addiction. And if we have found that our children have started to lie then we should be suspicious and look for what is behind the child doing a lie because if this continues to be allowed to drag on, then this is very dangerous and it could be that telling a lie will become a personal habit. And we need to know carefully that when someone succeeds in telling a small lie then he will tell a bigger lie because he thinks that the first lie he told was successful and can give a result.

Their was the quarrel and dispute due to the gambling.The gambling addiction was the root cause for the dispute between the gambler and gambling site.Mostly the gambler defined the gambling sites uses the code to get all the money to their game.But the gambling site doesn’t need such situation.If you find your children involved in the gambling,you should get away the gambling addiction alone.But you should not force them to quit the gambling.Which leads to the gambling addiction on the game.

I don’t think gambling breeds the abusive behavior, but I know that it is terrible when someone who has anger issues, or is abusive is also addicted to gambling. Because when they fail, they put it on the person or object next to them. Seen those clips where people game on a PlayStation console and the person losing punches the game display? That’s exact what I mean by terrible.

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.

If the government in question doesn’t try to provide jobs, etc to make youth have a better source of income, then they are prone to continue trying to make quick money. Some of them do it because of laziness, some do it just to be able to afford basic needs. It’s just sadder when  they lose they little they had.

Frustration with gambling sites often occurs when they are unable to win and also experience consecutive losses in gambling. And indeed, people like this often blame the gambling sites and not infrequently they also do other stupid things by breaking their cellphones as a form of anger and disappointment towards these gambling sites. This will only show how immature you feel when gambling.

If I find this in my child then what will I do, I will try my best to help my child get out of the zone and stop his gambling activities slowly. And indeed we have to do this slowly. because if we force it to stop completely, it is very worrying that this action could have an impact on the child's mental state, causing the child to become mentally disabled.

I don't really think it correlates at all .... I feel it's more about individuality...
Anyone could choose to be violent for reasons best to them... Maybe peer influence, drugs and narcotics, political reasons etc...
Addiction has everything to do with how the person reacts, how he's unable to abstain from stakes and speculations of games, offline and online and all of that... Whatever happened in this context has something to do with Thier personal reasons.

Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money?

Other recreational activities will make them stay where they are and will teach them to keep busy to avoid gambling. Also, it will allow them to see the happier side of what they are missing. Violence and anger are due to the losses that they're getting and it's hard to deal with it when you're alone. Going into sports, religious activities, and any other sort of recreational. This is going to put them away in gambling and will make their minds and physical body busy from going near to it.

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

We've been telling this since the age of time but, it's just their way of thinking is different and stuck into gambling and quick cash through it. But once their mindsets have changed, they'll come to understand that it should be like that and there are other better ways and process to get out of poverty.

This is actually a case-to-case basis as there are also other factors that can determine on why a person is abusive. Gambling can be the biggest factor on why his attitude changed over the years but there are also some underlying factors which definitely affected his personality and character.

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.

I agree with your statement.

If a person is too deep in the gambling environment, illegal activities such as robbery, etc. is a natural response for them to satisfy their cravings. They tend to lose judgement and discretion in which everything becomes clouded.

I do think that in order to combat addiction in youths, it must start on the very household on which the child is growing up. Like what I always mention, prevention is better than cure.

[Woodie]

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 a topic we were debating on with a couple of friends about politics and corruption, but then I feel turning to crime as your option is limiting oneself and there is a lot of stuff that Can get you going ,but the main culprit is that the generation of today loves to have it easy and need to learn to carry their weight.

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.

Whatever the hardships we are all responsible for our decisions and shouldn't be justified for it especially stuff like spouse abuse which could the voice of reason!

I think it all starts with the foundation, get people to have an education to get their literacy skills up which will them a shot at succeed and find other means of making a living as gambling shouldn't be the 1st priority as the house will always win.

This is a serious problem which if won't be addressed will start a cycle of violence, uncontrolled gambling, and poverty. Young people should be focused on productive activities and not gambling.

I have also known young people, mostly men, who are too irresponsible when it comes to gambling. Their salaries go to gambling and oftentimes they're left with nothing even when the next payment date is still far.

I don't know how to solve this. But it will help if illegal gambling is eradicated, exclusion by oneself or by family members should also be implemented. Casinos should also be stricter in admitting gamblers.

[Webetcoins]

Other than the fact that one has it in their genes, such behavior can be a result of growing up in a family that has always had problems and there were always fights and quarrels in the family which we all know leave a bad impact on children if they are seeing elders fight or argue all the time, they grow up to become frustrated and short-tempered because they've been seeing and hearing things that they weren't supposed to at a very young age.

And, it obviously also has to do with the upbringing of a child and how the parents used to treat them when they were growing up. A child who has been raised very well by their parents will never turn into a maniac like that even if they haven't really been doing very well financially because it's not always about the money or the luxuries, it's about how the elders have taught them to value life and cherish every little thing that they have.

Today's young generation is easily triggered to commit violence. I saw it happen on television but I don't know whether it was because of gambling or purely because of teenage violence. But this is indeed a serious problem that must be resolved immediately by all parties, especially parents, in providing insight and understanding to their children.

And currently, many young people use their money to gamble when they already have an income. At first, they only participated in gambling because of invitations from their friends but gradually, they felt their passion for gambling grew. And that triggers them to stay in gambling even though they don't win much. Moreover, their friends continue to invite them to gamble together in their free time.

Illegal gambling can be eradicated, but as long as they can access online casinos, it doesn't seem easy because they will move to online casinos to continue gambling. They must know that gambling is only for entertainment and not for making money.

[bitterguy28]

I don't agree on this one. To relate gambling to the fact the individual has become aggressive is just a way to minimize his violent nature. He isn't aggressive because he has been gambling or has become addicted to it. Maybe gambling just raised his aggressivity a little more, but that individual would present that kind of behavior, anyway, when confronted or opposed in another situations, because that is actually what gambling did to him: opposed his desire of making profit, inflicting him a financial loss. As these men you mentioned are unstable ones, they don't know how to deal with an undesired scenario in a reasonable way, so they discharge all their frustration on weaker beings, such as minor brothers, wives, animals and so on...

Some times it is also a sign mate of addiction in some manner ,
for example he keeps losing and has no capital to gamble? he becomes more irritable and then anger that will turns into violence ,
I remember that there is some instance here in our country that an addicted gambler
having no money to play and with a lot of debt ,made Himself entering the casino, taking chips and making people a hostage then burning the casino before shooting His head for suicide .
and that ends truly sudden death of some personalities .
so therefore I conclude that OP's title is literally something that reflects to addiction.

Legal or illegal gambling will result the same since it’s both gambling and casino don’t moderate their players personally so the effect of addiction will still be the same regardless of the legality.

Exclusion is my best choice too on solving this issue since no one will be completely addicted and become violent if someone in your family will moderate you. In my case, my wife keeps yelling at me whenever I’m gambling regardless of win or lose so that makes me gambling moderately or seasonally whenever she’s not around using only the free money I have that she doesn’t know.

Lack of money is the root of all evilness, violence and crime takes place in a country where there is hunger and suffering, if you don't believe me you should take a tour and visit the slums in any country, you will see the lifestyle that people are living, including the children, it's not easy to be a parent and a guidance of children, sometimes we need more than just us to set them on the right path, they need more than parenting, that's why if you are not ready to care for a kid do not bring them into this world.

Kids with bad attitudes are not all into gambling, some don't even know what that is, the bad attitude they have comes from their home, I have ask a kid some questions one time where he told me his father used to beat up his mother, that's why he is so mad and you can see it written all over his face, some times the problem is from within the family.
Some kids are brought up in a evil way, yes you heard me right, their guidance or parent are the types that aren't supposed to birth a child at all, and the kid landed on the side of bad parents, while the kid grows up he decide to be even more ruthless than the parent, believe it or not, whatever we are doing, our children will surpass us, because they will always be a better version more than us, so ask yourself if you are doing things that you will love your kids to better at.

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.

Gambling isn't the sole reason why people become aggressive, anxious, and depressed. Sometimes it manifests because they have tons of problems to begin with, such as having financial difficulty and despite that, they still gamble anyways because they feel that gamble can be some sort of diversion of attention, without noticing it's also starting to consume them. It even becomes the main problem to some because addiction slowly creeps in the moment the person disregards practicing responsible and moderate gambling routine. But we can't really judge them can we?

It's best to criticize and be a concern citizen once in a while. Although just make sure to not meddle on someone else's business. There's still a fine line between being concerned and just being plain rude who loves to pry.

And in my opinion, people who are in a phase of economic difficulty and then bet on gambling, of course, this is not a good and correct solution but this is the beginning of him getting worse in the future, with the beginning of gambling and succeeding in getting a win, of course there will be thoughts of returning to gambling even with a larger nominal to get a bigger win too, but without them realizing it is the beginning of them entering misery because gambling is not always profitable.

It is indeed difficult to stop gambling addiction but we must remind each other not to fall deeper before the addiction continues until who knows when it will achieve a sense of satisfaction from winning. It is true that you should criticize occasionally even if it is not to interfere in his life problems even though it will cause conflict.

I totally agree with that. Another big reason for children being aggressive, short-tempered, or violent after reaching a certain age might be because of a toxic relationship between their parents that they might have been seeing throughout their childhood and now they got fed up with that and it actually makes a very bad impact on the minds on children when their parents or elders keep fighting all the time in the house and they wouldn't like that at all.

Children who are raised well, and who have been living in an environment free of violent and intolerable behavior, will definitely have a better and more tolerable mood when they grow up. So, you are right that one shouldn't just put all the blame on gambling and say that children who are aggressive all the time are like that because they are addicted to gambling.
