[Being exposed To gambling at a tender age has a lot of disadvantages, it can make you prone to being affected by other negative things like drug and alcohol addiction. people that are young get into things like this due to the depression that they go through while some get into it as a result of peer pressure. There are many youths that can't take control of their life anymore because they are addicted to gambling
I don't think gambling at a tender age can lead one to become addicted to other things outside of gambling. If gamblers are addicted and used to substances like drugs and alcohol, I don't think gambling is the cause; something else is responsible for these addictions. Gambling at a tender age will only cause one to become more addicted because young people don't really understand the value of money.
Gambling at tender age has so many negative effects on the youngins, it makes them to become unstable emotionally whenever they lose and when they lose they try to do drugs and alcohol to reduce the thinking and emotional trauma they go through after losing their money. Gambling may not lead people to taking drugs but it a major contributor to those kids taking alcohol cause they use it to stay calm after losing.
