Teenage exposure to gambling

Teenage gambling exposure

Just like the subject says; it’s more about exposure of them kids and children to gambling.
I. Some society gambling isn’t seen as a menace, something that ought not to be and they look towards getting it out due to the fact that, it could easily be addictive. The later I agree to, the possibility of building addiction but, as a menace, sure not

This is why gambling is reserved for the matured minds and those that have got a lot of self control about gambling. Society has tried to build this about an age grade limitation which differs based on certain nations. Where am from, that age limit is pegged at 18years of age. You’re automatically regarded as an adult but are you really? Well, I guess we don’t have kids here.

Meanwhile, speaking of exposure; it talks about the various windows by which, gambling is been exposed yo our wards, even as a child in the society. Something I’ve seen and frowned at some many times is how you find some grown folks, adults having to predict games, get the codes on a shit of paper and hand it to these kids to go and have it loaded and played on the systems over there in a gambling house. This is always a terrible sight for me and so unacceptable. Even with the signs saying, under 18years of age isn’t allowed
Now, they typically might not be the once making these predictions or taking the bets but, they are sure getting that exposure of how it’s done, what goes on in there and getting some comfi in that environment. It eases their decision to choose to gamble just when they hit the right age.

Another means to exposure is by the broadcast on the TV but, you and I knows that, we can’t so much control that as, it’s just pops up and in seconds it’s all done. However, for that which we can’t control, what measures are we taking to ensure these kids are given limited exposures. What are those steps that could be put in place to not only persuade the parents, guidance and the gambling house from allowing these things to keep happening in our society. Letting these things slide by is misleading for the leaders of our tomorrow.

Just what can be done to ensure limited exposure of this kind?

In this current age and Time, it has become extremely hard to keep kids away from something that is widely done like gambling we just have to educate the kids on the fact about gambling and how hard it is to get out of gambling once you become huck to it, and to avoid that kid's needs not to be greedy and should not stake money on games unless if  the regular computer games.

If you come to my country, in my state, my town, you will see big sign boards advertising gambling sites. From this you will understand that the government does not care.

On TVs, YouTubers and everywhere you will see gambling site advertisements.

What will betting agents do if someone send under 18 to place bet for him in such town like mine? There is nothing that can be done in countries like mine than to teach your children the right and the wrong. Let them know the pros and cons of gambling and how bad a gambling addicted person can be.

The ones who should care abot this are the parents, they should give educational feedback to their Kids to avoid them get adicted to gambling. If the fathers explain to the childs the risk about gambling then those Kids we see it as a bad thing, just like drugs, parents are the ones who must educate their Kids.

The kid will be exposed to something new, such as countries exerting their dominance over another, which may mean exposure to geopolitical tension. This exposure is way more dangerous than gambling, in my opinion, and I think this will make the kid mature at some point.  

Such exposure can be a thing that might be able to open the situation to where he will learn further in such a career option. other than gambling.

The best is that we should handle the discipline required for our teenage youths by ourself, this is not a responsibility for the gambling platform to carry or the government, its our own personal interest and duty to ensure that we monitor the way of how our children are behaving, curb them of some activities, restrict them when needed and also correct them if applicable, we have to put them on the right lane, this will help Fastrack their exposure on the good things of live rather than the bad manners or behaviors happening in the society.

Underaged gambling is on the increase while regulations are effective, they cannot solve the problem 100%. In fact until other actors, parents, teachers, religious leaders, regular everyday people being to take action on every semblance of underaged gambling in their locality and neighborhood, I think we are going to be battling with it for a long time to come. I have conversations with my younger siblings about gambling. We discuss the myths, the realities and I tell them everything which helps to settle their curiosity. It is another role I play which helps to reduce the incidence of underaged gambling.

Reducing children from using gadgets will prevent children, but unfortunately the current situation is that children tend to spend a lot of time playing with cellphones, there is no other solution, other than just providing education about the dangers of gambling, strict supervision is needed, it is very difficult to face a situation like this

In the EU you don't see anything like that on TV. You sometimes get poker tournaments on some channels but that's it and they use chips, with no money on the table, so it's a harmless game. Kids can also buy sets of chips and play with that with no money involved.

The way I see it, card games with no bets are not gambling. You can have a lot of fun playing cards with friends, so what you're trying to limit is not the ability to view games, or play them, but betting money. If you don't want your kids to bet money, don't give them money. Make them work for it and they will regret every dollar they lose.

There isn't much you can do sadly. A teenager is smart enough to keep his traces secret and dumb enough to think he'll get rich gambling. Talking to him is the only option in a situation like this. If he somehow gets what you are saying, he will never ever become addicted to gambling again. If he doesn't, then you are looking at another poor lost soul who's going to waste his all remaining life on gambling. That's the problem with some people. They hear the words but their brain can't comprehend their meaning. Smart people know their limits, they instantly recognize it when they see a person that is smarter than them. Dumb people think they are running the show.

It is generally irresponsible parenting to expose your child to things like this. Any responsible adults should know that it is bad to send their child to go and book games for them just as it is bad to send your child to go buy cigarettes for you.

Rather than limiting their exposure, give them proper exposure because exposure can actually help a child and save them for many things, as it will not be possible for you to completely stop them from knowing what gambling is. Tell your child what gambling is and expose them to the dangers that they can face if they start gambling irresponsibly even when they are of age. Your child will be less likely to be deceived by someone if they receive the right exposure.

[Jaycoinz]

Over time gambling has become a vice to the society, a lot of teenagers have been exposed to this disastrous lifestyle because some adults were not responsible enough in guiding them properly. A lot of young people pick up bad habits from their elders, this is why it's not advisable for you to gamble in front of kids, this could easily corrupt them and make them try to emulate this wrong behavior. It's quite disheartening that a lot of teenagers under the age of eighteen are now allowed to walk into gambling centers without any form of age restrictions.

We as parents can only try our best to teach our kids the right way to go, but we can't tell what they will turn into in the near future.
 
Good home-bringing goes a long way, but all the gambling addicts and drug dealers we have out there, most of them grow up under good parenting, but immediately they are old enough to take their own decisions and some reconfigure their brains.

The ability to make the right choice is definitely the  key to every man social status so the factor of being brought up in a good family will still be tied up with that overall factor of the choices you actually make yourself as an independent person because just like you have said, most addictive gamblers, drug addicts and so many people with social deformity all still boiled down to that very decision they took or life they later offer to live.

The both of you are right.
Although in this present generation that the economy is getting worst everyday teenagers makes decisions by themselves (mostly those that are not longer with their parents). Just like you have already said, some Christian families trains their children in a Godly way but funny enough how some of those children grow up to become something else. However, this is also the result of most of the friends they keep when they are not close to their parents (like some of them in the university). As the economy is getting worst, teenagers are looking forward to make quick money they might probably think of gambling, meanwhile no body in their family is a gambler.

Very little!

Exposure to gambling is everywhere.
Instead of trying to prevent younger generations from the dangers of gambling
it is far better IMO to engage in educating them on the risks and the joys of
it and how to manage the emotional exposure to it.

I think if we can manage to educate we can have peace of mind that we
tried something proactive rather than trying to fix something when there are
problem issues.

You can restrict the use of your child's phone, but you can't restrict the use of his friends' phones - that's where the devil is in the details. In digital technologies, there is practically no point in prohibiting anything - anyone can get around any ban or block without any problems. Only on the authority of parents can a ban on participation in gambling for those not of legal age and a normal explanation of the consequences be based.

The parents should take responsibility for preventing their children from the mobile addiction.Because this mobile addiction will leads to the gambling addiction in the future.The gambling addiction will be caused because of the mobile addiction at their small age.The children who had mobile usage automatically get their involvement into gambling by directly and indirectly.The every parent shouldn’t allow their children use mobile phones below 14 years.

instead of limiting exposure, why not educate them about it? I mean, educating them about gambling and the risks and what it can do to people, is one of the best ways to let them know that gambling can be dangerous and there can be grave consequences when it is abused.  I have been mentioning it a lot on this forum whenever a topic like this pops up that "gambling awareness" should be added as a curriculum in schools or at least a subject about addiction in general.

Exactly. You can’t restrict your kids or completely hide anything about gambling from them because one way or another they are going to interact with it soon. Be it with their friends or during their own time. When your kid reaches a certain age, you can’t exactly monitor or control everything they do anymore so the best you can do is hope that you’ve taught them well enough to be responsible and know better.

Teach them young about money and responsibility and as they grow older they would be able to do what is right without you having to monitor them 24/7.
