Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

[Juicyhome]

Children do not always follow their parents' example. If a father shows that gambling is bad, that he has lost more than he has won, he can influence his son positively, perhaps. But that is not necessarily true.
Friends can have a big impact: if they play, you feel pressure to follow them. But even here, that's not a given.
I think it's a personal thing that matures with many psychological factors, not just one

True if children follows their parents footsteps the world would been a better place, many thing the children do today the parents never do them, its just our world. The way their train our parents is the different from how our parents train us today. internet has more influence to the children than parents. so its hard to copy your parents life styles. As for me, my parents hate gambling and they banned us from playing it. yet we still play because we have access to the internet and i can play without stepping outside. Parents really has no say on the impact of gambling on children, but they can reduce it by  playing advisory role.

From practical experience, I feel that if a student gets addicted to gambling while studying at an early age, it will have a bad effect on his educational life.

Are there any comments here saying no? I read that most have a yes answer, influential. So I think those in school should be out of the gambling world. So they focus on education in developing themselves to face future challenges. With the current conditions, there will certainly be a difference for those who have understood gambling while in school and those who do not know about gambling while in school. The effects will certainly be on learning achievement, psychological condition, social condition, financial condition, and certainly focus condition.

Here is a NO comment Gambling does not affect education or studies if you study well enough You visit lectures and classes, you pass all exams A+ all the time, you are free to do anything you want during free from study time. How come in this link gambling affect something? Why nobody is taking that a person can both be good at studying and have free time for himself? Being good at studying does not mean being a nerd who study all the time. People are different. There are those who find it easy to study. Where one spend hours memorizing stuff and do calculation, other can give an answer in few minutes just by looking on task or memorize text after first read.

Or the idea of topic is that loss during gambling will lead to disappointment, depression and apathy to do anything? Such situation for sure can happen. And it may also never happen. Nobody knows. Or we are going to discuss kids and addiction for a million times again?

Kids don't have to live the life of their parents, they need to be allowed to explore the lastest technology but it should be strictly on parental guidance, parents have to pay very close attention to their kid and raise them in the right discipline, they don't have to bend them to be like them but give them the right lessons that they will not depart from while they are growing. Because if they don't get the right lessons from their parents, they will get influenced when they are faced with some realities of life. Some kids do not allow gambling to be a distraction to them and that's because of the way they were raised.

For example, i didn't feel like managing children, i didn't feel up to it nor did i want to do it and i decided not to have any.

Of course gambling affect education and studies. Moreover, I would say that everything besides education and studies affect education and studies. What are we even discussing here ? If a student needs to study, but he is doing something else (even reading a book when he had to study math for instance), the final result will be affected by that. A person cant improve or learn something if he isnt doing it. Knowledge can not be upload into mind like in Matrix movie. We all have gone through this when we were at school - if we do nothing, our grades became bad.

Totally situational because there are parents who are still that responsible in towards on handling up their kids and there are ones who are really that not caring at all. There are some situation that due to having that work then they cant be able to make up such right handling of their kids and instead on having that grinding for their better future but since it do have that lacking of social interaction and handling and discipline with their parents then it turned out to the things on what it shouldnt be. This is why we cant be able to take all the blame into the parents because there are really just those factors or reasons on why it would really be that ending up into the things on which arent that good. For those kids who do make out some self realizations then this is something that they would really be able to adjust accordingly and able to deal up with something that gives out some bad outcome or results and stick into those which are more worth.

Times are different now dude, because of the internet, it seems like people's lives are incomplete without it. Unlike the time of our parents when they didn't have the internet yet. So even if we say that parents can remind their children about gambling, I think of course it's still up to the students or children to choose and think about it.

Because of the internet, children or students can still see and have curiosity to peek at online casinos that their parents can't monitor anymore but it's really up to the child
or student whether or not to try gambling.

Not everything to be learned is learned through books though.

You still need to experience different things, expose yourself to different ideas, points of view, different walks of life, etc.

So, I think visiting a casino might actually help a student, as long as there is no addiction involved.


If the students go and spend am afternoon checking out a casino, I think it is completely fine.

I Stumbled on a news that "Betting Companies in Uganda Luring Students to lost their Futures" with fake bonuses and promise of big wins. According to the explanation, the time you use in the casino

Anything can affect a child's educational performance, we should not see gambling nas the only thing that does so, too much playing can contribute to poor performance, lack of balance diet and malnutrition in a child can cause a lot of psychological and emotional imbalance causing poor performance in academic, while gambling should be seen as a way of introducing series of games to children to play without money being involved, in other to help exercise their brain for more increased active participations, thereby boosting their brain and academic performance.

Absolutely right, gambling isn't the only thing that students can get addicted to, people forget that that there's also drug addiction, alcohol and so on, all these can also affect the childs educational performance. But gambling is focused on the topic because it's the most dangerous especially for a student, let's not forget that gambling addiction can lead to other addictions too. Your suggestion is brilliant, turning gambling into a positive tool for mental development would be lucrative, it shouldn't be done to earn or stake money.

But here we are discussing how gambling will affect students education career and not drug addiction. Though it is only foe those students who are addicted to gambling that would be affected because those students would play games in the classrooms and study periods. And I believed it is because of the way our leaders have abandoned education and there is no value in education is the caused of all these behaviors I'd students in the tertiary institutions.

Yeah gambling can definitely affect student’s performance most students usually go into gambling with the most common mindset which is gambling to get Rich quick which may lead to many negative outcome, like getting addicted to it .

Most time gambling can also affect the ability for student to be productive because they usually think that with trading they don’t need another things to make it like having a skills , which don’t usually end well they usually end up learning the hard way as students.

It would really be giving out that kind of domino effect on which at the time or moment that you do become that addicted to gambling as a student and since you are still that dependent with your parents when it comes to funds, and on the time comes that you dont have anymore money that you would be able to play on, then this is the time that you would really be possibly be doing some illegal things on which this is that really that possible or could happen. Its really that important that you should really be that considerate about into those probabilities about committing something just because of too much addiction.

As a student then you should really be that sensible into the things that you are really that dealing on, you cant really just that make yourself that dealing into something on which you do seem that could affect your  studies. All sorts of things that could possibly affect out is something that you do need to avoid as much as you can.

I wouldn't say that gambling definitely affects studies so much,  particularly in cases where they gamble responsibly.

Btw. I'm not saying it don't affects studies either. Specially in cases where students create debt in order to cover expenses or become gambling addicts. I'm just saying it depends on person.

Usually parents try as much as possible to set the beat precedence for their kids at different levels but the problem is always with the fact that they have limited power to control the choices these kids make at certain levels and stage of their lives, getting to certain age comes with some form of independence such that at such points the kids begin to decide for them selves or have some good sense of independence and choices whereby they can choose not to follow with that which the parents has always wanted them to follow because they may feel they now know better but then parents should never stop at any point but always try to make sure they are giving their beat until the kids become full blown adults.

just being an advisor is not enough now, my neighbor has a small child who almost every day steals his parents' money just to deposit to play slots which can now be easily accessed, he even often plays sports parlays, for a child his age to become an active gambler is very unreasonable, I blame his parents who don't care about whatever their children do, being busy working is good but being firm with children is also very necessary, the child's performance at school will definitely be affected if he is active as a gambler.

That is called responsibility. You are right if only kids will be like their parents then maybe they will be in better position. But we cannot force what we want to them, that willl make them go rebel more. They are in a different era with extra problems that will surprise us. I got two kids and I dont see my younger self to them. They lack the discipline that I experienced which is why they are like spoiled brats sometimes.

[Orpichukwu]

Children do not always follow their parents' example. If a father shows that gambling is bad, that he has lost more than he has won, he can influence his son positively, perhaps. But that is not necessarily true.
Friends can have a big impact: if they play, you feel pressure to follow them. But even here, that's not a given.
I think it's a personal thing that matures with many psychological factors, not just one

It's indeed a personal thing; even if the parent gambles all day in front of a child, they can still decide not to gamble and not gamble at all, or even if the parent doesn't gamble at all, the child can turn out to be a gambler in the future. It all boils down to what the person wants; like the saying goes, it's only those who want to be influenced by others that will get influenced. It's a personal something.

OP has posted that there are students who gamble during studies, or use money they suppose to pay for studies for gambling. I dont know what exactly OP wanted to discuss with topic name like that, when what he has posted is a direct indicator how gambling affect studies. Anyway, the general answer should be: if someone gamble when he needs to study, of course it will make affect on result; if someone gamble during his free time, it is up to him how to use that time and it has only tiny affect on studies (for example a person might be in bad mood after loss, or will think about his loss instead of focusing on studying).

[bettercrypto]

This is not always the case, although children often copy their parents. If a father can show by his own example that his experience in gambling was bad, that he lost much more than he won, then this can help the child make the right decision, if he sees that his child is disappointed with gambling, that he has spent a lot of time and a lot of money, then perhaps it is the father's example that will be the reason why the son will never start playing.

Besides the family, friends can also have big influence in getting gambling habits. If his friends gamble, person can feel pressure to start gambling in order to get along with his friends. This is specially highlighted in teenage and early 20s when friends have most influence on person.

On the other hand if his friends avoid gambling, then he will probably avoid it too.

Children do not always follow their parents' example. If a father shows that gambling is bad, that he has lost more than he has won, he can influence his son positively, perhaps. But that is not necessarily true.

If we base the answer on the topic that op made, it is true that gambling can affect the education of each student. Of course, the student's attention can be diverted, instead of focusing on studying, his mind will be disturbed by gambling.

In which is really not good, especially for those at the high school level, most of whom are stubborn and disobedient, most of their parents too.
Even so, it is still up to them whether they will do the wrong thing or not.

Sports are a very necessary part of life. But gambling is beyond the essential part of life. Many students are losing a lot of money in their studies due to their gambling addiction. Just as gambling is causing financial harm to an adult, it is also causing great harm to students in their studies.

And OP, I could not agree with your advice. You do not want to have children because you will be addicted to gambling. If you can give your child an honest education, then that child will be a blessing to you. And if you cannot give your child an honest education, then that child will be a curse in your life. If you want to get something good in life, you have to work hard. So you have to work hard, have children, and raise your child honestly. This is a part of human life.
