  Youths who have limited experience in working, may think that gambling is an easy way to make money. Without understanding how gambling works, the odds of winning for instance, will lead them to spending too much much time and money on it. As a result, they neglect school, work, and in most cases, incur debts.

  Due to them being highly vulnerable to peer pressure, they may be influenced by gamblers into gambling behaviors and in turn influence their peers.

  Yes, especially so for youths cos they tend to indulge in more risk taking behaviors than matured adults. They may enjoy the adrenaline of risk taking too much that they find it difficult to stop. It's almost like a feeling of ecstacy to them.

  gambling is like this.

  some kids post his homework online. he is making the gamble that the answers that he gets are relevant, not bullshit stir up by bored people. if you submit bullshit, you will fail. if yousubmit relevant, you will only get a pass.

  so gambling will not get you good grades, research yourself is better.
