You should be careful on the places and spots that you gamble,some are safe and some are not safe. I can only gamble in a casino and not on a street because it can tarnish ones image as everyone will know that you are a gambler. It was when I was in secondary school, that was the first that I tried gambling and when I lost,I was wishing that the winner should give me back my money but instead,he was happy and was spending the money in front of me.
Times are modern and now there are many types of gambling, not only offline like in the casino you said, you can play slots wherever you want. There will be lots of problems that you will face when you are underage and decide to try to jump into the gambling chair, everyone will not recommend this for people who are underage. What I mean is that teenagers who are underage are still psychologically vulnerable, easily emotional, and of course very easy to provoke. When you decide to try it, chances are that addiction will come to you. It is very difficult to get out of gambling, especially when you have felt a victory, and that victory will always come.
financial losses can be a big mental torture.
Gambling can not always be a success, most of the time it is hard luck. so don't keep your hopes high. You are right that is it difficult to get out of gambling - once you are into it there is no way out
