have to be forced to be inside their houses by 7 o’clock P.M.! I think it should be up to your parents to give you a curfew or not. Having a curfew isn’t fun. Children from ages 16 and under should not have a curfew.

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.
