Gambling is very risky and it can't be predicted tp make money from it. If money is really the problem of people and the reason why they gamble it is better to look for something else doing which will generate money for one as steady source of income. Relying on gambling to make money is dangerous and even more dangerous for teenagers because it is believed that the understanding of teenagers s always poor, and when a teenager believes money can be made from gambling their is nothing can be done to erase the mindset and they become so desperate to make more money from gambling.
Yes gambling risky just as you said but the aspect everyone is very much concerned about is the addiction that's associated with it, anyone think that gambling is the easiest or the quickest means of making money is doing that to his or her own detriment, making money through gambling is not something anyone needs to take serious talk more of teenagers, parents advise and direct their children at that early age.
I agree with you that teenagers has a very shallow way of thinking that's what they shouldn't even be allowed to go closer to anything that relates to gambling because that's a very disasterous move.
