How can we mitigate gambling from adolescent?

[bisdak40]

I agree that it takes everyone working together to stop teens from gambling. Government rules are fundamental because strong laws can cut gambling by half. Teaching kids in school about the dangers, like losing money and feeling bad, is also helpful. Parents are critical too. They must learn about gambling, guide their kids, and check their online activities. When we do all these things, it can make a difference.

There is a strong law against underage gambling, so the goal is not to expose them to the consequences of gambling, but to keep them from gambling. The energies that will be used to educate these teenagers on the dangers of gambling should be used to keep them away from it.

This is because the majority of teenagers will not stop gambling, and others will continue to gamble even if you warn them about the dangers of gambling. Therefore, efforts should not be limited to informing teenagers about the dangers of gambling, but should also include preventing them from gambling in accordance with the law.

The teenage age is such that he cannot easily let go of the things that once entered his mind, and trying to force them out at this time can be counterproductive. And you can see as a reason that in many countries under age gambling is even illegal they are still doing gambling.
If they can be brought back from here by convincing them well, then there will be no other option but to go to the hard line. Currently, one of the reasons for gambling addiction among teenagers is the easy access to mobile devices, which should be monitored by parents..

But on the other hand, they themselves (the teenagers concerned) must also have a strong desire to avoid gambling. Because I think both at home and at school are always reminded to avoid it, especially when they embrace certain beliefs which will definitely be prohibited.

Not only from the outside, but internal factors are also important. In addition, the environment will also affect a person's habits.

Sometimes meitos like adrenaline, to feel strong Emotions , but one way is that they start doing sports, a teenager still has control of their parents , is not of legal age and can do things as they want , then I think it is a lack of father and mother, a teenager should never play in a casino and if he played it is because in some way in a physical casino he sinned , but in the rest it is the responsibility of the parents, I think that things are always focused on that , thinking carefully always that one as a player Should do it after 18 years.

A combination of everything from Parental supervision along with the necessary awareness about gambling and addiction along with the strict regulations from the government is the best way to stop teens from getting spoiled at a young age.

Personally, I believe the parent and the environment the kid grows up decides most of the part how the kid is gonna spend the rest of his/her life so it's their responsibility to give the right environment and also let the kid know what's the actual situation either financial or emotional then the kid will learn what we should do and don't.

It is actually difficult to reduce gambling among teenagers, especially now that the internet is very easy to access anywhere, of course there will be more teenagers gambling without the knowledge of anyone including parents.

I strongly agree that the role of parents in reducing gambling among teenagers, the child is still under the supervision of parents, therefore there must be stricter upbringing and they must be able to monitor how he holds the mobile whether it is safe from gambling or not.

The average teenager already has a mobile, and this is the most dangerous where they can play at any time without the knowledge of parents.

With the way things are now it will be difficult to even control these adolescent children by their parents the highest that parents and guidance can do is to talk to them and give them the reasons why they should not get them selfs involved in gambling because of the negative influence that it excerpt on the individual that get involves in it, the world has gone to digital for anyone to actually control people from gambling because as of today even if you collect their phones from them and stop them from gambling online they will still find way to gamble and besides there's no street that you passes without a gambling hall so the best way is to engage them in a talk and give make them to see reasons why they should not gamble at their age range

Nowadays, there is a great availability and the availability of different things, including gambling, therefore our role of parents or teachers is more significant. One thing which can be done is to cultivate positive values which subconsciously are promoted already namely a sense of responsibility and self-control) within the framework of the useful and supporting activities. More so encouraging them to make healthier decisions is also a useful approach when explaining the dangers of gambling example through real life scenarios. It means that by supporting them often and providing them with some emotional help, we can show them other activities that are more useful, to help them use their energy in more constructive ways.

Parents should form the habit of having open discussions with their children about gambling in a healthy manner. We are in an age where no information is hidden to the public, this children will likely come across them either on social media, advertisements on TV, live shows etc. Before this children get exposed to gambling, it should be that they already know  from home about the different types of gambling, the risks involved in  each of them and how to go about gambling the right way and at the right age.

Children, especially adolescents can be quite inquisitive, once they see these things, they  might get tempted to try it out. Parents have a huge role to play in ensuring that these children are not misled.

children have no critical thinking skills yet they will think anything they see on the internet is right or must be followed so before they even see it we should be the ones to feed them the right information otherwise they can end up thinking or believing the opposite

well yes children are curious and they will try anything because they don’t know the dangers it causes yet but if we teach them young they’d know better than not to try it out

What is your opinion on this matter?

Everything you've mentioned can help, the government by restricting access and giving penalties to operators, the gambler's urge to gamble will be quenched, and a strong character of the indicidual lies so much on how the family raise a person.
So government and families are two of the strongest institutions that can help and strengthen the individual from becoming addicted to gambling.

Yes it's true that both government and parents has a great role to play when it comes to mitigating adolescent from engaging in gambling and to the best of my knowledge the both parties you mentioned are trying their best but the problem with adolescent teenager's is that there's allot of peer pressure on them from society so it's really hard to control them but the best people to control adolescent from engaging in gambling is the parents as a have a strong will over them

An adolescent is a person transforming from childhood to adulthood and they are usually between 10-19 years. Adolescent shouldn't have any business with gambling as gambling is strictly for adults.

Instead of trying to mitigate gambling among adolescents, parants should try and ensure they don't start at all. This can be done by monitoring their activities online, checkmating the sites they visit and even educating about the dangers and inherent evill associate with the menace of gambling

I like raising awareness option. If one is made to be aware of bad effects of gambling since early on, one would not gamble. I can speak for myself, I heard stories about bad effects of gambling when I was little — i.e, how it was ruinous for finances and relations and that helped me stay away from it.
