Gambling is an acute problem for Russia. Card playing for money has risen among male youth ages from 14 to 22. The increase is primarily among those young people who attend high school or post-secondary schools.
If you've been watching television or been to the mall lately, you may have noticed that poker has become a big trend. There are a lot of clubs of poker. They say poker can be compared to chess, because it is a very intelligent game. But if you play it for money it can lead to dangerous consequences. Problem gambling can strain your relationships, interfere with responsibilities at home and work, and lead to financial catastrophe. You may even do things you never thought you would, like stealing to get money to gamble or take money meant for children. Statistics and research name crime, theft, robbery, school and family problems, legal and money troubles, depression, suicidal thoughts and attempts as consequences of poker.
Many prevention experts believe that education about the risks and consequences of youth gambling is the main key in helping youth, parents, educators and communities in the solution of the problem. The young should be informed about the responsibility in gambling choices.
As for me, knowing about possible risks and dangers I am fond of playing a game of poker with my friends. But my mother is against my hobby and we have many conflicting moments. And I certainly understand why, but I can not stop playing poker.
So, I need your advice.

I'm not interested in gambing. Sometimes I play cards, but never for mony. I advice you to stop. You can have many other hobbies.
It is necessary to limit playing poker. Or ask parents to control the supply of money. Even if we really want to play, we can not play for money, because the risk decreases and we can become addicted. Never the less, the dependence remains.
I am not interested in gambling. I do not approve of those people who play such games. It becomes a mania. Many people lose not only their money in gambling, but their lives. They destroy their families, ruin relationships with friends. They are lonely, but with a passion for the game. These people live only with the game. They are no longer interested in life.
I think that all people should know when to stop and be able to stop in time.
I am not interested in gambling. I frankly speaking have never played poker. Sometimes I play cards, but not for money. I advise you not to play for money. For example, it is possible to play for "sweets".
I agree, that poker has become a big trend. I think that it is an interesting game, which develops thinking. But you should not play poker for money, because you can become dependent on this game and spend more and more money. It can lead to awful consequences.

It is more foolish then other. Person can spend all of their money. And for what? For other same person? Thank to the gambling person can lose all: Money, Friends, Family. Gambling are problem! It must be stopped.
I think, that gambling can be very serious problem. A lot of people commit suicides because of big gambling debts.
