"It's time for schools to focus on the root cause of online teen gambling by implementing gambling prevention education in all high schools. Health class curricula across the nation cover the typical risks for teens such as smoking, drinking, vaping, etc yet gambling education is nowhere to be found in our schools. "
It's not a small problem as it sounds, first it starts with the advertisement by most of our gambling companies that are using every media platform available to them such that no one is spared to give gambling a try... Radio stations, TV, ad's on social media , billboards, major sports game's I mean even with the best gambling education I don't see this helping but it worth a shot giving the pros and cons of gambling at a tender age that should give the youngsters a balanced argument.. though we shall have those that try it out and win big and when they share this news with their friends it will spread like wildfire and all kids will want to try to gamble!!
Otherwise stopping teen gambling should start from their homes, but unfortunately if their role models that being Dad or Mom do gamble...then it's difficult to escape their destiny but either way it should be a collective effort.
