Most student are easily influenced by their environment because in school they are usually gathering of different folk with different mindset and some of those folk that got influenced by their environment are usually gamble irresponsibly . That’s why the unusually go to the extent of having the thought of wanting to gamble with their tuition fees, which is wrong because gambling is full with uncertainty so there are chances of you ending up losing it all.
Since the students aren't matured, they are easily influenced by the environment. Parents role is very important in this matter, so they don't follow the bad things from the environment. Whenever parents know wrong attitudes, parents must remind the students. Parents sometimes can be more effective to remind the students than the teachers at school.
When the students want to join gambling, parents must stop them. Students are underage, joining gambling must be 18 years at least. If parents understand about the rules in gambling, they can guide the students. So, the students won't try to join gambling anymore before they fulfill the minimum age (18 years old).
It's true, I'm reminded as well, I do gamble stuff at early age but those are just for fun and it didn't really affect my perspective about the value of money and of course my studies. I'm guided well about the effects of gambling especially if you get addicted to it, it'll ruin your future if you're exposed too much on gambling.
But yeah, learning gambling is inevitable even for students but if a student knows how to value money and how things happen when you gamble too much, then they'll realize what to do after a one-time gamble.
Ofc you can't avoid peers, most of them do gambling stuff so as a parent, guide them and make them realize everything about money and the importance of it, even they aren't matured enough but with the guidance and wisdom, everything could be fine.
