Due to the age we are in there are some things that are being normalized which is okay actually but they have lots of downsides and one of them is giving kids access to mobile phones and other types of gadgets, this makes them open to explore certain things...as a parent if you decide to give your kid a phone or laptop do your best to make sure that some things would be inaccessible for that childs own good
Children should be allowed to be children hence there are somethings we shouldn't allow them have access to. You can restrict some applications and website that are harmful to them. Gambling can affect our studies because we can get addicted and starts making decisions that'll make us to lose money instead of making more money. If we're still students we shouldn't be gambling but focus on achieving educational success. After that then we can get a job that'll help bring money for us and then gambling can be done for fun. It won't be easy to be gambling for fun without making any profits but you won't be angry when you're having money being made from other things that you're doing.
You will be surprised to hear this, I have seen many school children here playing online casinos. And they also talk to each other about who won how much. Yes, although they have no source of income, their main source of income is their pocket money.
But here losing is not a big deal, the big deal is that it is slowly becoming a habit for them. And in the future when they do not have money to gamble, they may get involved in some crime.
And yes, but gambling for fun with your own earned money is a different matter.
