Teens and curfew..?
Heya





To be honest i dont actually beleieve in curfews. I think that they are set to be broken. I actually believe in guideline times. and if the child isnt in 15 mins after that time they will get a phone call and then they can tell me how long they will be. Guidline times :





11 - 9.00


12- 9.30


13 -10.00


14 - 10.30


15 - 11.00


16 - 11.30


17 + - No curfew





If my child was to go to a party i would not set a curfew as parties can go on till early hours in the morning and i wouldnt like it if i had to be the only on to go home when the party was only just beggining.

Reply:I never had a "curfew" as a kid. When I went somewhere, I told my parents where I was going, who I was going with and when I would be back. Either they were okay with it and I went or they weren't and I didn't. I couldn't just go out and do whatever, with them having no idea where I was, until a set time.





The type curfew that I grew up with was reasonable to me. The other type of curfew seems like incredibly irresponsible parenting to me.
Reply:well you could start will...


teaching you kids RESPONSIBILITY: giving you child a curfew will help teach them responsibility ( at lest it helped me and I'm 22 now)


TRUST: you can learn how much you can trust you child be setting a curfew and seeing if they are trustworthy


GOOD PARENTING: plus if you just let you child run around doing whatever whenever then who will they learn anything and one more thing children shouldn't make there on rules here kids its not the job to raise themselves.
Reply:It's about boudaries as well. When we are young we think we are invincable, we hear all the horror stories and we think it's never gonna happen to us. It's about learning to set limits for yourself so that when you are an adult you can prioritise. Take for example school. Why don't they let you go to school between 11am and 5pm? It would be great to get that extra sleep in right? Or if throughout the year they issued homework but you didn't have to hand it in until the last week of the last term. School routine is preparation for when you become an adult and enter the work force. Well parents inforcing curfew is a similar thing. It's making you aware of the fact that you have to learn your limits and have consideration for those around you. Most parents stay up worrying about their kids when there out, and then they have to stay up to pick them up and bring them home and that it's dangerous to drive if they are sleep deprived. And then when most children are enjoying their weekend sleep in's, mums and dads need to get up and catch up on household chores that have been neglected during the week. Get the groccery shopping done, make sure the uniforms are ready for monday. The household would be poorly run and the family poorly looked after if the parents are running on empty. It's a snowball effect.
Reply:Begin with the importance of the teens in society and the menace of curfew which has not yet been replaced by something more effective and less bothersome. especially for the teens. Data make an essay crediworthy.Conclude it with novel ideas on the subject
Reply:They should be home by a certain time because the freaks come out at night (seriously they do). I'm not saying be home by sunset but instead of them thinking about how late their friends are staying out and how cool they are gonna be they should think about the body that was found in an alley a week earlier.
Reply:Curfew is important to build a relationship of trust between the teen and the parent and to set rules to keep control of matters.
Reply:I would put to keep the teen safe, because late at night is when the creeps come out.


I would also say that as the teen grows older and shows respect of curfew, that it should be extended
Reply:Well drinking is and illegal partying. Also cerfew is a parent way of showing authority and keep there kids safer, because you can do stupid things at 4pm.
Reply:It's important because parents want to go to sleep and they want their teens home and safe so that they can sleep.
Reply:The crime rate is highest at night therefore making the chances of being hurt really high
Reply:well i dont know what is good about 1 but i do know what is bad about them
Reply:hmm, for the sake of controling our every action :D
