Yes, the possibility of experiencing gambling addiction will be greater if someone tries or enters the world of gambling when they are still a teenager or underage.
Education and direction from parents or family is very important, but ironically in reality there are still many parents who cannot or perhaps do not have time to provide this education because they are too busy working or even many parents are unable to provide explanations and good education of their children about the dangers of gambling.
Even though teenagers or children receive guidance from their parents regarding the negative impacts they will face when carrying out gambling activities, I think it will have a slight effect on their self-control. But we know that the interactions that teenagers have are very widespread because of their instability and that of some parents sometimes they can't control the interactions their children make.
In this modern and digital era, sometimes parents cannot keep up with existing technological developments, making it difficult for them to handle the social interactions their children have outside the environment or outside their parents' supervision. As parents, we must also be able to follow existing developments in order to minimize the mischief committed by teenagers today.

That's what am saying concerning gambling because gambling is another distraction to a student that wants to comes out of university or higher institutions with a golden colour, gambling is good and also bad and the thing is that some people don't realize the main importance of gambling and it has to do with risk, and whenever you are addicted in gambling almost eight nine percent of your attention, focus will be directly to gambling and money in particular, but some students does not know where their problem start from.

The thing is that minors are more susceptible to gambling addiction since their brain are not yet fully developed to adapt in every situation.  Aside from that according to the early reply, minors have more tendency to commit suicide when unfavorable things happens and they feel that they are drowning on it.  This is why the government is implement age limit in participating in gambling activities because the government have proven through research and experiences that minor often don't know what to do when in trouble.

Though age limit is implemented, the government should also implement gambling awareness campaign that will educate youth about gambling and inform them on what to do in a case of gambling addiction and also inform them the institution where they can ask guidance or rehabilitation.

Our youths should concentrated on their growth and not involving themselves in gambling which will definitely end them. I've seen these scenarios happened repeatedly, I'm no longer surprised. Gambling is considered to be one of the negative activities out there that contaminated the minds of teens in our society, indulging in gambling will only bring bad results, like failure in exams because they tend to commits more time on gambling activities, desperate to know more because they're young and having these working fine brains that's capable of storing important information.

I think this is one disadvantage of gambling that is ignored at times by most people, distraction, it can come in different forms and aswell affect different aspects of their live consciously or unconsciously, but the sad part is since they are you they may not want to agree to the fact that it is gradually becoming a source of distraction as they may feel they still gat everything under control.

It's very much advisable for youths who know they have cases of struggles with addiction and also issues of been able to control themselves when it comes to stopping a particular habit which they just got indulge in recently, youths especially those who just got into adulthood should most possibly avoid gambling because at that stage they may not be able to control it enough not to get to addiction.

Adults who find youths indulging in such habits and know them may not be able to keep it under control should as much as possible advise the youths to try and stop at the early stage where they are yet to comitt so much to it which may later make it difficult to leave. Although some youths may have the ability to get control of themselves, such may be allowed.

It’s certain that minors once they start to explore playing gambling, they will most likely unable to resist the urge and may eventually fall into addiction. That’s when they have no parents or guardians to look for them and guide them everytime when they decide to gamble. But if they have parental guidance in all the things that are new for them, I believe they will be completely aware how gambling will ruin their future so they need to avoid it as much as they can.

But to defend the youth on this regards to being attracted to bad activities, it is not only about the youths on this, it is what is found in all human life, human tend to learn the bad faster than the good. So for the youth, they need proper guide because they are not experienced like the adult who knows bad and how to get out of it or how to stop. So the youth need follow up so that they won't go astray in life and ruin it .

Excessive gambling can distract youth from their studies or work, leading to poor academic performance it is proven and tested based on what we have experienced with my family member. It also arises some conflicts regarding to their emotions because if they are already addicted, the people around them can be affected too because they will be more aggressive , frustrated and agitated.

In principle, adolescence is an unstable phase, of course you will be more easily influenced by negative and unproductive associations, one of which is juvenile delinquency and gambling. There are many things that influence teenagers to get involved directly in gambling, because they are easily tempted and have a high level of curiosity which of course makes it very possible for teenagers to do it, including if they feel they have it. life's responsibilities weigh on them, this gambling has always been used as a ninja path by society. teenagers to be able to answer their life problems, even though they know that the act or choice of becoming a gambler is something that is very detrimental. What is interesting is when these teenagers will lose their passion and lose their sanity, being overwhelmed by the wild. ambition and prestige complement it. .

Normally gambling have it's effect in human health so I believe that some people because of gambling addiction they might have repeat on gambling, let us try encouraging our people concerning gambling addictive, some people dropped out of school because they used their school fees to gamble and some people drop out because gambling take more of their time and that makes students to have a dividend attention in educational carer, so it's better for a student to quit from gambling than having a dividend attention in their education

Young people are more in loved in gambling because they have softhead and they never listen to their parents. There is a great possibility in youth to have disorders because they don't use their mind but use their emotions which can make them angry and their words are not trustable.

When the youth age completes then some individuals leave gambling because now their mind is strong and they can take better decisions for them. Actually youth are more attracted towards bad activities because they have no life experience and they cannot make difference of opinions in valuable and invaluable efforts.

Keeping an eye on their online activities is one of the core things Wich are supposed to be done, in order to prevent kids (not only from falling pray of gambling addiction, but other harmful things, like pornography and internet predators) from encountering bad stuff.

Though, unfortunately there are parents who do not even care to look over their children and even gift them a phone while they are toddlers, so the child stays distracted. The internet ends up being the education of the child, instead those loving parents.  

One must wonder, how many children are gambling right now with the phone given by their parents.

It is the environment that influences this, which may initially just be for fun when meeting with friends (hanging out), but in the end it leads to gambling addiction. Adolescence is the age where someone is still making adjustments from childhood to adulthood and it is true that they are vulnerable to this. This is because they (teenagers) do not yet have maturity in thinking, so what they think is fun to do, they will do that, namely gambling.

So this is where the role of parents is important to monitor and pay attention to children's growth and development, including their relationships.

The parents and the government should work hand in hand to protect the youth from engaging into gambling and fall as gambling addicts. As much as they become more aggressive with gambling because of the huge profits it promised, parents should be also be more keen observers to their kids so they won’t do things that will probably make them regret in the future. By educating them and making them aware of gambling consequences, I think that way they will learn how to avoid gambling.

We as parents should check if our children are into gambling, It is more dangerous if the fertile mind of a child is being dragged to gambling, the worst that a parent can suffer is for her children to fall into addiction because time is wasted and the future of the children will be in jeopardy, the government and the parents should work hand in hand to make sure that no children will fall into any kind of addiction.
Even the gambling platform should see to it that they are not serving minors they will have their license canceled, and everything should be done so that no children fall into addiction.

Young age is a volatile age that the parents or those responsible for the young need to give proper attention to the child especially at a certain age because no matter the information that you give on the repercussions of gambling, that young person may still have to go out of his way to try whatever his head is thinking even based on what you have told him. So it depends on the child if he has the gene of rascality, precocious or trying to unravel things around him. Some young person are scared to go out of what you have discouraged them while some want to know why and why things are that way. I think it depends on the child and sometimes experience is the best teacher when they have seen the negative aspect or outgrown such youthful exuberance.

After all it's their choice why they want to gamble or get dragged into gambling, young people are more interested in smoking and having sex because they're prefer to playing video games rather than gambling.

No one can stop them to gamble even the government, parents, teachers etc are working together.

Imagine a matured adult who have a lot more experience in life and how much money is important to provide our needs still get addicted to gambling, what more to the young kids right? For sure they would think it as a game literally which is fun, but they are not still aware of the consequence of risking money cause when they started to lose funds, not only that their psychological thinking would be affected, cause if they started to be violent and their behavior of course the people in their surroundings which affect families such as arguments. That's what I've actually observed that they are started to lose the people that supports them due to their toxic behavior that they adapted from gambling.

I agree, young generation can easily access online casinos. Some of them actually know more on how to access internet compared to the other old people. They can now also submit a fake ID to pass KYC. There's a lot of gambling ads nowadays, young people can start anytime that's why they need to be supervised and have a heart to heart talk to understand that there is a right time to enter gambling.

For those who have never been affected by gambling, it would be very good for us to hope that they don't try it because when they try to play it can make them experience difficulties in stopping, as has happened to many players.
Addiction is an impact that must be experienced. If you are at the addiction stage, everything can fall apart and your life will no longer be organized, from education to other things. It really doesn't matter anymore. That's why it's better for the younger generation who haven't been exposed to gambling games to avoid them.
