4%-5% of teenagers worldwide have gambling addiction

[Kojo Sam]

This you've highlighted is something major. The craze for get money quick and at all costs is driving people to do different things and the young ones are always feeling that they're not enough

The world is changing into something else. The 21st century means alot to the youth and the peer pressure within is also massive..if one is not extra careful..you'll do what isn't expected of you.

It is true that peer pressure is building up on a daily basis among our youth. That is why we will see them do same thing almost all the time.

Been addicted to gambling is is not good but this days majority of people that I know are into this business some of them will loss at initial stage but they cant still go back all they will do is keep investing there so teen this days are additcted to games and gambling

This addiction of a thing is natural once you start betting and get your first win I bet you will be addicted except you really decipline your self so once you start don't be addicted to it

 

[Lynaia]

I don't really agree with that prediction, nowadays i think more than 40% of the teenagers are already addicted to gambling especially in most underdeveloped countries.

Anyone can be addicted to the game of luck which I classify as gambling but its not good at all for someone like me I dont like gambling its not safe investment its a kind of investment which is base on luck

It is a poor statistic, I'm sorry to tell.
Gambling among young children is a prominent example of the negative effects inadequate parenting may have.
Although they do have access to personal phones, they should be closely watched.
If gambling is thus popular, how popular will pornography be?

Its true this days youth are very addicted to gamble its not good some will even stole their parent money and start playing the game at the end of the day you will see that they will loss so I beleive awareness need to be carriedout regards gamble and age .

 

[tray59]

Teen-ager have gamble addiction just because some of them want to make fast money but the end result is always dangerous so I think that tee nager should indulge in something more better than gamble they need to be productive and think positive

 

[Ofonime6]

People have gambling addiction to be sincere but its not good why am saying its not good is that if you are addicted to gambling you will never see anything good you will end up wasting your money and keep going even when you loss the little money that is with you which suppose to be use for some family upkept you will use it to bet

 

[Smiles20]

The truth is that this is actually a very big number and I am beginning to advocate that common addictions should be something that we should start one in children right from a very young age.

The truth is that This is a major issue the society needs to handle most especially from the family. The issue of gambling is very complecating as more and more danger are there for addictive people

 

[Setho]

Addiction is one of the biggest public health problems that we are having today and it seems a lot of people are not even aware about the potential danger that it can post on the long-term.

 

[tyrim88]

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

It will only take the grace of God for a person that is already addicted into gambling to just make a stop,its like there is a spirit accompanied with greed that usually push lots of persons into gambling.

 

[tray59]

This is globally,because sometime when they win their first bet they will want to keep going back again at the end of the day you tend s to loss everything you had

 

[Sincerem]

Engaging in gambling may not be dangerous but becoming addicted to it to a point that you can't stop doing it is the most dangerous. Sometimes things like this are what must be completely avoided.

 

[linux.poet]

I'm pretty skeptical. Where is this statistic coming from? Half of all statistics are made up, and the other half are exaggerated.

The makers of mobile games are trying to create an online gambling addiction in teenagers, but I am surprised that they have succeeded to this extent. Where are these teenagers' parents?

Gambling is a very serious problem in my country today. The high rate of unemployment have pushed a lot of youths into betting and gambling as their only means of making money which they all end up losing more money. New gambling and betting companies keeping opening businesses in my country like it's the only line of business left.

 

[Riberet19]

In my country many young people are addicted to gambling, and the numbers do not stop increasing according to official data, if you walk down the street in any city every 200-300 meters there is a casino or sport betting room, although the government has tried to alleviate everything that has to do with gambling and put obstacles so that young people do not access it, it seems impossible or very difficult, gambling is too addictive, and many young people believe that it is a quick way to get rich or make a lot of money.

Seriously this is the something that is going on in my country right now and it's as if there is nothing else left for younger people to do other than be involved in one gambling or betting for the purpose of making millions of dollars with little effort. Unfortunately the government of my country are not interested in completely banning gambling and betting because they are getting a lot of taxes from those businesses.
