Students under the age of seventeen have a curfew of 10 pm Sunday through Thursday and 12 am on Friday and Saturday. The curfew ensures that all students should have no business in a public place or out on the streets late at night. There are obviously some valid reasons why this is enforced and I am completely in favor of this decision. Many dangerous kinds of people come out late at night to see if they can get kids into some kind of trouble. Kids get kidnapped‚ raped and killed out in the open

In my small town‚ the councils are proposing a curfew that all kids are to be home by 10pm. I’m a kid myself and I know for a fact that I want to be out of my house way later than 10. I guess there are reasons why we should have this but I’m going to disagree with them. Here is reasons why we shouldn’t have curfews. Kids my age normally are out till like midnight because that’s what we’re used to and that’s normal for us. They are also deciding this because they think it will prevent us from

Children from ages 16 and under should not have a curfew. For example‚ on November 2‚ 2007 a child who was concerned for his constitutional rights‚ has anonymously filed suit against the city of Rochester to have the curfew law over turned. This is what happens when stuff isn’t fair.

In my opinion I believe that teens should not have curfews for three reasons. My first reason that I believe teens should not have curfews is because of projects. Projects are very important to students because the project may consume a lot of time to work on. Sometimes teens only get a few days to work on the project and may be due soon. Projects are worth a lot of points and a main part of your grade so u need as much time to work on it. Teachers are very strict with the way your project turns

Do curfews keep teens out of trouble? I personally believe that curfews will not prevent teenagers from getting into trouble. Even with a curfew teens will eventually find a way to do whatever they want. If that means skiving school‚ sneaking out or lying. Sneaking out would give teenagers that adrenaline rush which would make them feel powerful and unstoppable‚ so why wouldn’t they want to do it? Also‚ having a curfew just adds stress on a teen‚ because we will freak out about running late. Does
