Among young people is a result of the availability of gambling alternatives, such as sports betting and online gambling. Gambling disorders can have long-term effects on a person's ability to complete their education and choose their future, and young individuals may be particularly susceptible to acquiring these illnesses
Young people are supposed to make life decisions based on their parents, the thing is when we are young we believe we know the right way, even if we have our ways to follow it will be too unsafe to go on that path alone without any guidance, there are too many mistakes one could make without any guidance.
When you leave your kid alone for a very long time without looking bad, they might not be the same child you once believed they are, whatever you do, always check on your children if you are a parent.
Some parents are the ones pushing their child to take the wrong roads because of the situation of things, they encourage them and pressure them to indirectly do bad things to get what they want, I am not guessing this, for I have seen this happening too many times.
I will keep warning my children over and over about gambling, because I doubt they will be able to think straight with such activities, and since this was how I was raised by my parents I will do the same thing,. Gambling addiction at a very young age is the worst of all gambling addiction, because of the way they think and the desperation that comes with it.
