It's absolutely unwise for a financial dependent to gamble and should be condemned by anyoone who's around such person. Over the years, I've seen very young people who are still surviving with the financial assistance of their parents or guardians use money that was meant for something very serious like school fees, money meant hospital bills and sometimes money that was given to them to go and buy food items using such money to gamble.
They end up losing the financial trust of their parents and guardians because of their very silly decisions to gamble with those money.
There are lots of young people who are also students who are fond of gambling and of course most of them only rely on money given by their parents to be used for gambling while their parents give the money to meet their needs as students or school pocket money.
It's a shame that those who should be the next generation actually like or worse become gambling addicts, indeed there are some children who can make their own money such as starting a business because where I live there are quite a lot of young people who are still in school starting to learn to do business to make money but if they are already familiar with gambling then I can ensure that it will be difficult for them to develop, especially to develop a business that is being pioneered.
There is no way that can be done to stop these youths and the ease of accessing gambling sites actually makes them feel as if they are being facilitated by existing technological developments.
Honestly, I am very concerned about incidents like this but there is not much we can do to stop them and only self-awareness can stop or control these gambling activities.
Maybe if there is socialization and also educational services for youth it can put more pressure on the increasing number of gamblers classified as teenagers or students who are currently mushrooming in every country.
