THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2004. Classified Advertisements Help wanted Help wanted Real estate Real estate IVebsites attractive to today's IF earning Sean IF The Citizen's Bachelor Contest Gambling activities remain particularly attractive to today's youth. They are the first generation of adolescents to grow up in an environment that has been normalized with gambling activities. eg . lotteries. Feisher, Derevensky and Gupta found that 85 per cent of youth have gambled during their lifetime and that 10-14 per cent of that population is at-risk for developing gambling problems. The onset of a youth's first gambling experience was reported as in general between the ages of 11 and 13 years (Jacobs, 2000), however, recent discussions indicate that individuals that develop a gambling problem have started gambling at age eight. In addition, young males are twice as likely to develop a gambling problem with comparison to young females. It has been identified that teens do not gamble primarily for money. Teens reported that they_gamble for the excitement and enjoyment derived from the activities, and due to boredom and peer pressure. Today's youth are more likely to engage in a variety of gambling activities. These gambling activities include carnival games, sports betting, board games, betting on reality TV shows, playing cards, games of truth or dare, dice games, lottery tickets, scratch/instant win tickets, and playing bingo. Gambling is a risk-taking behaviour and youth taking those risks are often labeled as "cool" by their peers. Unfortunately most adults, teens, educators and professionals view gambling as a harmless behaviour with few negative consequences. Thus, little attention is focused on youth gambling. However, research indicates that both elementary and secondary school students regularly engage in This fall Mrs. Culbert had her class submit poems to the Canadian Schools Poetry Contest. Several of her students have had their poems chosen to be included in the top group of entries received in the contest. These poems will now go forward into the final competition to be judged this spring.

This education needs to begin at a very young age. Some researchers have suggested that youth receive this education prior to reaching age ten. When youths are given the facts and are Gambling activities remain EWPS poetry entrants among those advancing youth told about the risks of gambling behaviour, they are able to make informed choices. It is important to let youth know that it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to buy lottery tickets or play bingo for money or articles. Interestingly, few youth have reported difficulty purchasing lottery tickets. Gambling at casinos requires a person to be 19 years old. Research indicated that children began gambling with family members, especially parents and grandparents. Most children stated that there was no need to hide their gambling activities from their parents (Gupta qand Derevensky, 1997). If you discover that a youth is participating in gambling activities it is recommended that you talk to them about the risks of gambling behaviour.
