We all know that gambling is hard to stop, especially if you just started it. Yes, let's say he is a responsible gambler but he is still too young, right? many things can happen. Maybe later he will be ruined and become
more addicted to gambling. It would be better if he doesn't know anything about in gambling so he can just
focus on studies

It's hard for today's youth to get addicted to gambling, especially if you're still a student, because this is
where a child's life begins to become chaotic if you don't guide them properly.

Yes, children mostly misused the money that they are getting from their parents to the point that they will going to spend it on
something that parents don't like or not intend to use the money.

It's always better to educate your kids, as there are many other things in life that they can use those allowances instead of using it for gambling.

Proper education and guidance from the parents to save that money and time and the possibility that they might get addicted.
Only proper guidance from their parents will prevent their children from spending the money their parents gave them on the wrong things. They don't want to waste it in vain because they know that earning money is not easy and requires hard work. They will try to appreciate their parents' gifts and use them for necessary things. They might also learn to save, although perhaps not as much as adults, but at least they have learned about saving from an early age. With guidance from their parents, they also don't use their money to gamble because they know that gambling will not give them more money and can even make their money run out.

Age does not matter in gambling because in every age gambling is highly risky therefore the boy should stop gambling before he regret for his bad habits. May be his is not stealing yet but he will surely turn towards stealing as gambling is very bad habit which get worst with the passage of time but never turn into better addiction.

Man initiate gambling with his mind that he will use little money but once he start it then he do not think that stealing, crime and other bad activities because the gambling itself is a bad addiction which provide base for other bad things.

What do you think that if this boy is using his little sum then after losing it will he stop gambling? Never. Therefore this boy should quite gambling instead of making his mother's and his own life difficult.

A family member reported to me that her eighteen years old son has started gambling. She is not worried that he is gaming but her problem is that he is a student that solely depends on her for everything he needs. Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.

I spoke to my nephew and he told me that he has never stolen from his mother to gamble. And he gambles with only his savings from his weekly stipend he receives from the family. And he won't gamble if he has no savings to do that. From my observation, he is a responsible gambler that is just enjoying the game and making a little money occasionally. The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?

It's definitely reasonable for a Father/Mother to remind his/her child about gambling because he's undoubtedly heard and read a lot of negative news about gambling and doesn't want his child to get involved in it. Now, I hope you're right in thinking that the boy is a responsible gambler. We don't retain every gambler's mind when they're in the casino, you know.

And I hope he can retain his responsibility in the gambling casino where he will be playing. Also, from what I can tell, the child is dependent solely on what is handed to him, but I hope he does not train himself to deplete his resources in order to gamble.

You know, behind all the glitz and glamour of gambling is a complicated system. They're not just for fun. The casino is always set up to make money, and players? Most of the time, they are used as pawns. Any parent who warns their kids would be doing the right thing. The news doesnt lie: gaming has ruined the lives of many people. Putting your faith in a young mind to be "responsible" in a place like this is like putting your faith in a sheep among dogs. Gambling can be a bottomless pit, and theres no easy way out once you're in it. The boy? He may think he is in charge, but there are things going on that keep him coming back. Not only is it not a game. This is a business that takes more than it gives.

Gamblers at their teenage, do many mistakes. But it doesn't mean they are bad. Actually sociaty always treated gamblers as suspicious and so was happen with your newbie. She wasn't sure her momey was stolen or not but suspicious mind force her to believe such thing. actually when it comes to gamblers, people are too quick to judge them without trying to reveal the trusth. Let gamblers have some time figure it out. My perception about them is that, your nephew would grow up soon with hard experience and then he'll set his mind to figure out which is good and bad for him. Until that, give him just one advice is to control himself during gambling, only stake what he can afford as he also said already
Mistakes are not only dominated by teenagers who gamble, but all gamblers will make mistakes, which is why they lose, make mistakes in analyzing, or make mistakes in thinking which use gambling as a way to increase their income. Gamblers will often make mistakes and lose money because of these mistakes
Teenagers shouldn't gamble because they are still young and don't have an income, so when they are involved in gambling at a young age, how do they finance their gambling? Asking parents will certainly not be given because no parent wants to see their child gambling.
mistakes in gambling arent reserved for inexperienced teens; they're universal. Everybody loses, everybody makes blunders - thats the design. But teenagers? they're in a league of their own. Entering the gambling arena without income? Its just crazy. And if they're not self-financing, then the question remains: where's the cash coming from? Maybe there are things going on behind closed doors we don’t know about. Parents need to wake up and see the reality. Turn a blind eye, and you might be fostering a future full of financial ruin  Cry Cry Cry

Not all the gamblers are the teenagers,with my experience most of the population of the gamblers are from the 40+ age category of gamblers.After the stress from their job at the work,the most seeking entertainment will be the gambling.The gambling is like the drug to satisfy at their 40+ ages,So they will gamble with the money from all their expenses.Most of the experienced gamblers will choose the free money after their spending to their food and their family medical expenses.Because the medical expenses is not the permanent one,the medical free months money can be used by the gamblers on gambling.

However this education needs to start before they begin to gamble, and this can be difficult for parents to teach as they prefer their kids to not learn about money and other related subjects until later in their life as they feel that by teaching them those topics they will be robbing them a little bit of their innocence, but when taking into account the consequences, it is better to teach them early as in that way they will have a strong foundation when it comes to the effective use of their money and they will not gamble until they have the spare money necessary to do it.

Hey, as someone who sometimes pulls the handle (but only up to a certain point), I totally get what you're saying. Its not about gaming itself; its about where the money comes from. Taking parents' hard-earned money? This is not cool. I'd rather kids save money and buy something useful, or even spend a lot on adventures. There are always penny slots and free internet games that people can play to get that thrill of risk without having to spend a lot of money. But balance is always the most important thing. It makes all the difference to be aware and in control, whether you're at a slot machine, a mall, or somewhere else.
It's not cool, but children often misuse their parents' money by using it for other things. And that is why we may have or often hear about children being involved in criminal cases such as drugs and gambling. This is because there is no supervision from their parents, so children feel free to use their money without having to report it to their parents. Perhaps parents need to educate their children harder so that their children can understand what responsibility means. Once they gamble, they can continue to gamble because, at their age, they can easily be tempted by the offers they see in casinos while they are gambling.

Some casinos allow 18 years old to gamble, but others prefer to let those who are 18 years old above play just to be on the safer side of the law. So it really depends on where you are residing. However, since it's a matter of parenting, I believe that as long as you are still living within the same roof as your parents, meaning you are still under their care and everything is still being provided for you by them, it's just right to abide by their rules. Their house, their rules.

At 18 years old, if you really want to make decisions on your own, you can move out and live the life that you want without being monitored or dictated by anyone. Be independent if you want to sustain your gambling desires. But if you can't, then just stop. After all, a weekly allowance is still given by the parents. It's not as if you earned them.
Times have changed nowadays, kids used to be more obedient back in the day compared to the kids of today. Children nowadays don't listen to their parents after reaching a certain age because they start thinking that they are now big enough, they can do everything themselves and they should make their own decisions, and from that point onwards, they stop following what their parents tell them even if they are residing under their roof for now.

I would have to agree with this, everything has change now. Kids are somewhat not listening to their parents and it's really hard to discipline them. You really have to be their on their side always if you wanted to be close with your kids.

This is the biggest reason why children nowadays move out of their parent's house and live by themselves because they want to be independent. Those who manage to survive just stay alone, and those who find it very difficult to manage everything will go back and then ask for forgiveness from their parents.

But if I have kids that will to be separate with with at their earlier age? I wouldn't do that. I mean if they have jobs already it might be good, but if not then they will have to stay with me to teach them life lesson, just saying.

The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?
Your nephew's mom should be able to have an opened and honest conversation with her son. It should be a heart to heart conversation where the son his sincere about his gambling and the mother is opened about her expectations from him.

Sons always loves and listens to their mother. This is the time for her to be very involved. If she is able to create a space where he can freely talk about anything with her then she has nothing to worry about because right there she has proven to him that he can turn to her for support in case he begins to struggle with gambling.
It is true that mothers are more close to their sons but when it comes to habitual matters like games and gambling it becomes different. My sons rarely listen to their mother when she says they should stop playing with their cellphones late at night. I think the era of young people today is very different than my era and that should be considered in how we will have a discussion with our sons.
I like that the nephew is saving money for his own habit and I think what should be done is to make him calculate how much he is losing and how much he could've saved if only he didn't risk it to gambling. That way he will have an idea about the financial things and maybe tell him what he could've bought with all that money if only he had not spent it on gambling.
That kind of thinking actually opened my eyes to not taking high-risk gamble but that is only for zero returns like gambling, it's different when it comes to investing.


For now the kid will not listen yet to an advice from people with experience. He may have some money he saved for his gambling but those cash still comes from his parents. He still has lots of things to experience before his enlightenment.

A person sometimes need to lose and hit the rock bottom to realize he had done it wrong. Thats when the time he gets to listen for others opinion and options.
This is why it's better to train your children so well and also connect with them to know what they are listening to and learning from external influences. This helps to find a way to prevent them from getting exposed to what they should not be exposed to. If not, it will be difficult for you to correct them later. Even with your concluding narration, it still doesn't matter if they will learn from experience, that would be the beginning for some, and after losing, they will continue to look for money to play again and again until they become more addicted and more irresponsible gamblers.
Parenting does really play a great role when it comes on making your children go with the path which is right.Although we do know that external influences could really affect them out along the way and we arent that always there on their side on telling which things should really be avoided and which is not. This is why its always been that ideal that you should really be having some open forum sometimes the entire family and would really be that able to know on what they are dealing with or something that do happens because this is where usually kids would be open about their dealings and on the time that they might be able to encounter things which arent supposed to be deal with then you could easily guide them and stop them ever.
This is why parenting does play a great role when it comes to this because you wont really be able to monitor out your children most of the time on which it is really just that right that you should spend up some time
on having these kind of meetings at least so that you would really be aware on what are your kids dealing with. You cant really just make yourself that confident that they are really going in the right path
and dont mind about having that proper guidance.

The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?

He is now of age, as an uncle you must advise him, even if you can and have the time, you should go with him where he bets, to see how he does it, with you also betting, there is no better way than to do things like this, While you are betting you have to tell him to play the game like you do, that is, to imitate you in some things, and those things are simple, the first thing before entering, check how much money he is willing to lose, yes, lose , not to win, because he enters with the intention of winning, which is right and wrong, but he must understand that he is entering a casino where the money he puts there is and can be completely lost, and you give him the For example, you have to have some money that day just so that you can mentor him because he really needs it, you can't start being selfish, you must teach him, not so that he becomes a person who is irresponsible, but so that he doesn't falls into an addiction and loses control, you also have to tell him that in the game, as a person, you have to set your own rules, and that above all there are things that you as a man should not say to your mother, because generally Moms suffer a lot, and that's not the idea either.

The moment you arrive at the casino with him, show him your style of play, let him see the game as going to play PS5 or something like that, that when the money runs out, no more, you cannot deposit more than what you were willing to deposit. losing, if the person deposits more is when the problems begin, because the most likely thing is that that other money is already compromised, and that is not only what is sought, so that way you give him in-depth teaching, also talk to him about the dangers of addiction, but with cases that have already happened, that he is barely 18 years old, that he is looking for a girlfriend and a girlfriend does take up his time and money lol, because he has to go out with her, take her to the movies, but he doesn't look for a girlfriend at the casino because there he eats worse, or he dedicates himself to studying+working, I think with that he won't have time to go to the casino, and if he has some time left you should persuade him to play soccer, which do a physical activity, like going to the gym or something like that, the idea is that you can help yourself avoid an addiction.

It represents some thoughts that gambling addiction is not a good thing if done excessively and it will be quite difficult to control them once involved in it so much. At first they are not worried about their family's involvement in gambling, but it will be quite different if other problems start to occur such as losing money or items at home and that is why addicted gamblers will be quite difficult to control, including their own family

I spoke to my nephew and he told me that he has never stolen from his mother to gamble. And he gambles with only his savings from his weekly stipend he receives from the family.

Only you and family know what really happened and from your observations, has your nephew told you the truth that he did not steal his mother's money? If so, maybe the gambling case involving your nephew is not an addiction, but rather he spends his budget responsibly every time he wants to gamble, so this case might be solved if you know who stole his mother's money.

A family member reported to me that her eighteen years old son has started gambling. She is not worried that he is gaming but her problem is that he is a student that solely depends on her for everything he needs. Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.
It is somewhat difficult to control an underage boy if he becomes addicted to gambling. That is why it is better to bring him back before he becomes addicted. The boy you mentioned is an 18 years old man I can say he is quite mature now. If he has no income of his own then gambling will surely encourage negative aspects for him. I think there is no other way than to bring him back from his addiction by getting him well understood by his family. He should understand that earning money is not an easy task. So it is better if he can gamble with his earned money otherwise he should not gamble. Also he should understand that gambling is not a platform for high income. It's generally best to treat it as a fun.
Even the adults too but I think it also depend on the severity of their condition. 18 years old is the legal age of many activities which are mostly done by the adults but I think to think maturely does not only depend on our age because some younger people that I saw, can act or think maturely while there are older person who acts and think immaturely.

To have an income is also not guarantee that we can now play for run and become less addicted to it but actually if we have a money it can lead us to play more, and we can use it to generate more money. To be understood by a family may not help curing our addiction because it can mean that they are letting us to continue on our desires.
