[Sincerem]

This days teenagers gamble a lot more than the adults comes they haven't gotten the consequences of gangling, the implications to their finance.

When I was young I had some friends who were addicted to gambling. Horse racing and numbers game are the most popular that students would bet their school allowance. Usually they lose that's why parents were mad at the gambling joints.

You can't be more correct my friend. I struggled with gambling in the early stage ofy life, and am really happy I was able to get rid of it on time.

The internet has made gambling easier to access. Now people from the comfort of their homes can actually access these sites at anytime and they get addicted even without knowing

 

[McIrx]

The quest for quick and easy money means that figure will only increase. No matter how terrible one is he with make a winning at some point. That singular winning amidst many losses gives hope that more play will lead to more wins; that invariably leads to addiction.

 

[Nomad]

I am not sure about the percentage but I also believe that a lot of people are addicted to gambling. I don't want to label myself as someone addicted to gambling, but I have been gambling on and off since a long time

 

[Good-Person]

I reckon that the number of addicted people are much higher than what studies have suggested because gambling is a serious problem and it is more devastating than anyone can imagine.

In as much as I agree that parents have to do their parts in keeping their children away from.gambling, the truth of the matter is that it all boils down to individuals.

Nowadays , in this digital era , online casinos have become so popular that even a teen pursuing his/her studies gets carried away with gambling and starts depositing money into the casinos from their parent's money or their pocket money and end up suffering from "Gambling addiction". Studies show that 4%-5% of teenagers have this gambling addiction problem and around 14% of them have symptoms of gambling addiction. It's the parent's responsibility to make sure their child doesn't gamble at such a tender age , but with children now using their own smart phones , parents think their children are making use of their phones for something good like studying or stuffs , but lot of teenagers make use of phones to gamble and win money. It's so important to stop this gambling addiction at young age so that it won't become a big problem later on in their future life.

The percentage seems low compared to what I see everyday.
You Need to see the number of teenagers who go into bet houses to gamble. For some of them, it has become a do or die affair.

If the percentage continue to increase that way, there will be decrease in productivity is around the world. I think government should create a living environment for business to try in order to employ more people.

This is true.
a lot of young people have taken gambling as a fast way of making money.
This leads to overspending. Most of them who lose keep spending in the name of gambling.

The teens want iPhone, they want macbook, they want to buy games, and it requires money to get all of these, so they are looking for easy money, if you are lucky gambling is an easy way to make money. sadly, this does not work for a lot of people.

 

[Alexandoy]

I know of many who are addicted to gambling especially now that there is gambling in the internet. If you still do not know, the online casino is raking in money because the players have the convenience of gambling anywhere. With the phone in hand they can place their bets and they can even play card games like poker.

This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed at all cost. I think the best thing for anybody doing this is just to stop because if someone is addicted to gambling, it can ruin the person live.

 

[tyrim88]

That is becoming a major cause of concern in the society,because at that age they should be thinking of how to structure their lives and make incremental improvement about their development in their studies and vocation that will help them in future,guidiance and advice is needed here,

 

[CryptoEarner999]

This is a very serious issue. We already have so much addictions and now this too? I'm very concerned about the future of the next generation. A generation of people with addictions that makes them lose ton of money is definitely not a good sign for our future. I hope such datas get more attention and people start taking logical and correct response to this.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this news.

It is a very serious problem and this needs to be highly regulated . But the owners of gambling platforms are unfortunately part of the system that's supposed to regulate it. So nothing much to expect.
It is really something to look into. This is due to the fact that you can never get over these addiction and it is very important for the regulatory authorities to get involved in reducing this.

This statement does not come as a surprise to me because of the get-rich-quick culture that has been inculcated among children. Peer pressure is a root cause of this, leading to children going down the slippery slope into gambling
