Gambling

Another act of violence that is getting bigger and bigger with youths especially is gambling. I have noticed that in my years of high school I have seen people playing a game called C-Low in the hallways. You have to roll the dice and bet a number and if the dice land on that number then you win money. Another popular game is Texas Hold Em. This is a big poker game that involves a lot of gambling and money. Even though the gambling age is twenty one, most youths do not pay attention to this. They will not take a chance of going to casino’s but they will host gambling in their own house in a basement. This is very bad because the age group keeps getting younger and younger and they are all following each other with this idea. Laws in the United States like this are hard to keep up with because even the youths know that gambling is illegal under twenty one they will do it anyway. I think that gambling in school is a way of getting caught and is not a good idea but kids do not care and they just seem to do it anyway because they see it as fun. Some young kids can have up to thousands of dollars just because of the gambling money they make off their own friends.
