Today's teenagers are more advanced than their parents and it is becoming difficult for their parents to control them. Today's teenagers are gaining more experience than their parents especially due to the advanced development of technology, thus parents of today's age are struggling to control their teenagers. Moreover, most of the teenagers are using mobile phones, so any advanced subject is learned by the children before the parents. It will not be possible to stop the use of mobile phones from the teenagers because it is going out of control to prevent them from gambling.
This is true. Teenagers are getting smarter due to technological developments and can also become increasingly out of control with negative things due to technological developments, while parents find it difficult to monitor these developments because every child has a cellphone, quite a few parents do not understand how to access cellphones properly. So, to prevent gambling in teenagers other than parents, there must be intervention from government regulations, for example there must be no promotion of gambling on television or social media so that it can control teenagers who fall into gambling.

It must be acknowledged that with today's technology, it is very difficult to stop teenagers from getting involved in gambling, however with more education about gambling this can also help them, at least if they gamble they can gamble responsibly. In my country gambling is illegal but there are still many teenagers who are trapped in gambling, especially in countries where gambling is legal, of course teenagers are very easy to fall into gambling. So parental supervision is very important and of course the government also needs to make regulations and improve education about gambling.
