Topic: Violence and anger could be a sign of gambling addiction in youths (Read 550 times)

The new generation were a lot different from the old generation. They can’t just observe all of the changes happening but they need to explore and experience everything on their own. And that’s where gambling creates an impact to these youths especially that in online gambling they can easily hide their age and continue to access gambling. If these youths will not be monitored, they will easily fall into gambling addiction which will lead them to resort into making violence because they can’t control anymore of their losses that they have endured from gambling. And that’s where gambling addiction has ruined their future.

IMO, it does not make sense to get violent if someone asks them to stop spending money may it be a rich kid or not.  Aside from that gambling does not promotes violence, nor robbery so I do not get where does this crime came from.  I do agree that due to the influence of parents of this kids, they have the courage to do crimes but I do not think it is related to gambling unless these people are addicted to gambling and steals just to have the fund for their vices.


This is more like power tripping.  I agree in a point that rich people do these kind of things because they lack attention from their parents.  A way to show their rebellion by commiting offensive things just to get their parents attention or to blemish the reputation their parents are building as a sign of rebellion.

Who doesnt really like on losing, right? We do value money and its a normal approach for a human being to have on which it would really be just that so normal on having those kind of reactions since we do really value money that much and something that should really be giving out importance but on the time  that you are already that touching up gambling then it would really be that best that you should really be that be prepared or already that anticipating that losing would really be that common into this field. On the time that this is your first time or simply that you are young which your mind isnt really that molded or get prepared about on that
possible risks then this isnt really for you.

Gambling addiction has no exemption whether you are really that old or experienced or to those youngster who do tend to engage with it and ended up on being addicted just because they dont really know
on how to make out some good decisions and dealing towards gambling risks. This is the difference in between the two which one do really knows on how to assess himself and the one arent really that having the
idea about on the risks that he's been into until you would be finding out that you have been devastated in terms of finances.

There are ways to stop it but it's not just being applied because some gamblers think that they're already like that and they can't find any solution. Means that they don't want to help themselves because they just wanna get stuck being like that.

On the opposite note, there are also cheating gamblers that are blaming the casino thinking that they've been cheated on. But the reality sucks to them that they're just a bunch of losers and that's making them angry about it because they can't accept the hard thing called defeat.

There are some persons that have natural anger and even though when they go into gambling, it will never ends there. Some persons get angry when they are losing money betting so we need to be very careful on how we interact with people when gambling on a live casino or betting on physical sport games. We need to understand that not everybody are like us and nit everyone will take those things we may over look over a certain period of time.

There is no way we can stop the anger in people unless they are ready to work on themselves and fund solutions to there problem. Gambling can be full of cheating since there are people who are always ready to cheat anytime they have the opportunity.

I saw on TV and newspapers many children of rich people entering the world of crime, the world of violence, the world of robbery. When the children of rich people go to casinos to play, they play with a lot of money because it doesn't hurt to lose money because they are not the ones who make any effort to win that money and when someone else tells them not to spend a lot of money , so they start violence, as they are very rich, they know that their parents are people with power in the government, they know that their parents have money to pay better lawyers and judges

so they physically attack all the people they want, I have seen this type of thing happen very often, unfortunately even with good financial conditions for their children, as long as the parents are very busy people and pay little attention to their children, so the children of the rich They become criminals, they become people with serious psychological problems and they become violent. we just need to see the children of rich people in the USA as they are to understand what I'm talking about

Have you try giving advices to your friends? If so, what are their responses? If they still insist to, then maybe those solutions you can think of are the ones that can truly help them the most. Or maybe you didn't make a move? It's okay, it's not your responsibility anyway. I understand that some people are only being careful to not be blamed by others.

I agree on what most users said here that violence and anger are not mainly caused by gambling or being addicted it but it's more of a personal problem. I admit that I have these conditions ever since I was still young, and up until now that I'm at my 30's already. Gambling, video games and other activities can only trigger or amplify it more if you are losing but I'm trying to be calm and don't focus too much about winning.

I totally agree with that. Another big reason for children being aggressive, short-tempered, or violent after reaching a certain age might be because of a toxic relationship between their parents that they might have been seeing throughout their childhood and now they got fed up with that and it actually makes a very bad impact on the minds on children when their parents or elders keep fighting all the time in the house and they wouldn't like that at all.

Children who are raised well, and who have been living in an environment free of violent and intolerable behavior, will definitely have a better and more tolerable mood when they grow up. So, you are right that one shouldn't just put all the blame on gambling and say that children who are aggressive all the time are like that because they are addicted to gambling.

And in my opinion, people who are in a phase of economic difficulty and then bet on gambling, of course, this is not a good and correct solution but this is the beginning of him getting worse in the future, with the beginning of gambling and succeeding in getting a win, of course there will be thoughts of returning to gambling even with a larger nominal to get a bigger win too, but without them realizing it is the beginning of them entering misery because gambling is not always profitable.

It is indeed difficult to stop gambling addiction but we must remind each other not to fall deeper before the addiction continues until who knows when it will achieve a sense of satisfaction from winning. It is true that you should criticize occasionally even if it is not to interfere in his life problems even though it will cause conflict.

Gambling isn't the sole reason why people become aggressive, anxious, and depressed. Sometimes it manifests because they have tons of problems to begin with, such as having financial difficulty and despite that, they still gamble anyways because they feel that gamble can be some sort of diversion of attention, without noticing it's also starting to consume them. It even becomes the main problem to some because addiction slowly creeps in the moment the person disregards practicing responsible and moderate gambling routine. But we can't really judge them can we?

It's best to criticize and be a concern citizen once in a while. Although just make sure to not meddle on someone else's business. There's still a fine line between being concerned and just being plain rude who loves to pry.

Lack of money is the root of all evilness, violence and crime takes place in a country where there is hunger and suffering, if you don't believe me you should take a tour and visit the slums in any country, you will see the lifestyle that people are living, including the children, it's not easy to be a parent and a guidance of children, sometimes we need more than just us to set them on the right path, they need more than parenting, that's why if you are not ready to care for a kid do not bring them into this world.

Kids with bad attitudes are not all into gambling, some don't even know what that is, the bad attitude they have comes from their home, I have ask a kid some questions one time where he told me his father used to beat up his mother, that's why he is so mad and you can see it written all over his face, some times the problem is from within the family.

---

Some kids are brought up in a evil way, yes you heard me right, their guidance or parent are the types that aren't supposed to birth a child at all, and the kid landed on the side of bad parents, while the kid grows up he decide to be even more ruthless than the parent, believe it or not, whatever we are doing, our children will surpass us, because they will always be a better version more than us, so ask yourself if you are doing things that you will love your kids to better at.

Legal or illegal gambling will result the same since it’s both gambling and casino don’t moderate their players personally so the effect of addiction will still be the same regardless of the legality.

Exclusion is my best choice too on solving this issue since no one will be completely addicted and become violent if someone in your family will moderate you. In my case, my wife keeps yelling at me whenever I’m gambling regardless of win or lose so that makes me gambling moderately or seasonally whenever she’s not around using only the free money I have that she doesn’t know.  

Some times it is also a sign mate of addiction in some manner ,
for example he keeps losing and has no capital to gamble? he becomes more irritable and then anger that will turns into violence ,
I remember that there is some instance here in our country that an addicted gambler
having no money to play and with a lot of debt ,made Himself entering the casino, taking chips and making people a hostage then burning the casino before shooting His head for suicide .
and that ends truly sudden death of some personalities .
so therefore I conclude that OP's title is literally something that reflects to addiction.

Today's young generation is easily triggered to commit violence. I saw it happen on television but I don't know whether it was because of gambling or purely because of teenage violence. But this is indeed a serious problem that must be resolved immediately by all parties, especially parents, in providing insight and understanding to their children.

And currently, many young people use their money to gamble when they already have an income. At first, they only participated in gambling because of invitations from their friends but gradually, they felt their passion for gambling grew. And that triggers them to stay in gambling even though they don't win much. Moreover, their friends continue to invite them to gamble together in their free time.

Illegal gambling can be eradicated, but as long as they can access online casinos, it doesn't seem easy because they will move to online casinos to continue gambling. They must know that gambling is only for entertainment and not for making money.

Other than the fact that one has it in their genes, such behavior can be a result of growing up in a family that has always had problems and there were always fights and quarrels in the family which we all know leave a bad impact on children if they are seeing elders fight or argue all the time, they grow up to become frustrated and short-tempered because they've been seeing and hearing things that they weren't supposed to at a very young age.

And, it obviously also has to do with the upbringing of a child and how the parents used to treat them when they were growing up. A child who has been raised very well by their parents will never turn into a maniac like that even if they haven't really been doing very well financially because it's not always about the money or the luxuries, it's about how the elders have taught them to value life and cherish every little thing that they have.

This is a serious problem which if won't be addressed will start a cycle of violence, uncontrolled gambling, and poverty. Young people should be focused on productive activities and not gambling.

I have also known young people, mostly men, who are too irresponsible when it comes to gambling. Their salaries go to gambling and oftentimes they're left with nothing even when the next payment date is still far.

I don't know how to solve this. But it will help if illegal gambling is eradicated, exclusion by oneself or by family members should also be implemented. Casinos should also be stricter in admitting gamblers.

This is a topic we were debating on with a couple of friends about politics and corruption, but then I feel turning to crime as your option is limiting oneself and there is a lot of stuff that Can get you going ,but the main culprit is that the generation of today loves to have it easy and need to learn to carry their weight.

Whatever the hardships we are all responsible for our decisions and shouldn't be justified for it especially stuff like spouse abuse which could the voice of reason!
 
I think it all starts with the foundation, get people to have an education to get their literacy skills up which will them a shot at succeed and find other means of making a living as gambling shouldn't be the 1st priority as the house will always win.

This is actually a case-to-case basis as there are also other factors that can determine on why a person is abusive. Gambling can be the biggest factor on why his attitude changed over the years but there are also some underlying factors which definitely affected his personality and character.


I agree with your statement.

If a person is too deep in the gambling environment, illegal activities such as robbery, etc. is a natural response for them to satisfy their cravings. They tend to lose judgement and discretion in which everything becomes clouded.

I do think that in order to combat addiction in youths, it must start on the very household on which the child is growing up. Like what I always mention, prevention is better than cure.

Other recreational activities will make them stay where they are and will teach them to keep busy to avoid gambling. Also, it will allow them to see the happier side of what they are missing. Violence and anger are due to the losses that they're getting and it's hard to deal with it when you're alone. Going into sports, religious activities, and any other sort of recreational. This is going to put them away in gambling and will make their minds and physical body busy from going near to it.

We've been telling this since the age of time but, it's just their way of thinking is different and stuck into gambling and quick cash through it. But once their mindsets have changed, they'll come to understand that it should be like that and there are other better ways and process to get out of poverty.

I don't really think it correlates at all .... I feel it's more about individuality...
Anyone could choose to be violent for reasons best to them... Maybe peer influence, drugs and narcotics, political reasons etc...
Addiction has everything to do with how the person reacts, how he's unable to abstain from stakes and speculations of games, offline and online and all of that... Whatever happened in this context has something to do with Thier personal reasons.
