Re: Teenage exposure to gambling

I dont quite get how government can control or coordinate people, and force them not to spend more than they could.

The best, maybe the only, way they can prevent their citizens from being financially irresponsible is to educate them. You’d see a lot of insurance ads in our public roads and there are advertisements in the television as well. But again, this is only what they can do. It is still up to the citizens themselves if they will follow or not.

They will soon then realize how vital it is to be financially responsible when they suffer the consequences of their actions.

I absolutely agree with you that many gamblers, and especially young people under the age of majority do not have a sufficient level of education in the field of finance to manage their finances competently, including in gambling.
In my opinion, many states do not strive to improve the level of education of their citizens because it has always been easier to manage stupid people.
Maybe that is why the state does not interfere in this sphere, although it regulates it.

Parents should be aware of giving extra money to their children so that they do not get addicted to gambling and family awareness is more important than state awareness. Considering the state environment it is not at all easy for the government of the country to treat the people of most countries in this way. People can easily learn about the culture of neighboring countries and they have access to internet and cell phones which is a milestone for easy communication. Gamblers must be aware of their responsibilities to increase financial awareness when gambling, states or institutions do not have the right to interfere with your personal spending. You should set aside a weekly limit for gambling in order to manage your earnings and finances so that you don't overspend.

It is true that by limiting their pocket money, they can actually minimize gambling addiction for teenagers, as well as parental supervision of their patterns in socializing with friends who may be older than them, whether it has a positive or negative impact on our children, because children are our responsibility as parents, not other people or even the state, so the good and bad of children comes from the education of their biological parents.

the birth of a child's character from the education of parents who are required to educate so that the child's future is good. but the child's character is very clever at hiding if they already know the outside world, because in the outside world they can choose the comfort they like. the child's individual can change instantly, if teenagers play with gamblers they can get involved because of curiosity. but at home they seem to know nothing

Yes you are right but the time they need to choose between what you as a parent thought them and what they learned from others is when this have reached the age of 18. But while they are below that age, they need to obey the rules given to them by their parents. However, it's true that we can no longer hide gamble from children because if the way their are now, everyday more advertises in social media about casino and when a child is beginning to see some of these things, his attention will be divided from what you have thought them. This is also the same reason why parents need to lecture their children about hard drugs and gamble, so that they will know the dangers on it.
