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.
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.
At this age a gambler cannot be identified unless he reveals the matter himself because a gambler is getting all kinds of benefits from sitting at home. If a gambler realizes on his own that he may be addicted or has pushed himself into a hostile environment from which he needs a way out, he will find a way to control himself there if he can explain addiction well to those gamblers. We should remember that no gambler can be forced to turn away. If they are adults then definitely they can come back by realizing these things.
