If the kids are taking gambling more seriously than their school then they have to check out the parents if they're guiding them properly.
If you know someone personally OP that they've got kids or the kids themselves are more focused to gambling than their studies, report it to the school administrator and to their parents.
With too much usage of the internet is also helping these kids to get more of gambling and that's why, proper guidance and limit of their usage is a must which is the duty of the parents.
I agree with you. Lack of parental supervision is also one of the major factor causing the increasing rate of bad habit and practice in teenagers. If the parents play there role with a strong hand of discipline I doubt this will be the case at least the fear in the children will limit the extend to which they incorporate such habit.
If those teen now take gambling as a source of income how then are they gonna live in the years coming.
And again, parents are to blame. The thing is, yes, parental guidance is a big factor or responsibility of a parent so that their child's will not commit crimes or do bad influence and bad things that are not appropriate to their age, but we all know parental guidance or parents looking out for their child is not 24/7, meaning if the child is going for their child is not 24/7, meaning if the child is going to school then the child is out of the guidance of the parents. No matter how strict or how the parents guide their children, if the friends or the people surrounding them are a bad influence, then there's nothing a parent could do that.
In short, if the child is in the right mind, he or she will not let himself or herself be involved in something like gambling, which may result in bad happenings following that. The parents should not always be blamed; they can't monitor their children 24/7.
I agree that parents can’t monitor or be with there children all the time.
But we won’t neglect the fact that a child with a good moral upbringing will be hard to crack with influence as he/she will tend to move according to the subconscious training. A child with love and care from parent will also open up to there parent in terms of need or any problem, I don’t think such child will have the intention of gambling which might lead to stealing of money just to fulfill the addictive nature.
Parents don’t just train but also monitor the close friends, materials the children are exposed to, most of us didn’t gamble at that age or ever thought of it probably as a family man responsible for your won action you gave in for either reasons and disciplined on how you go about it.
