Does curfew keeps teens out of trouble?

Many parents believe that giving their children a curfew is a good idea and that it will prevent them from staying out all night.However some parents don’t recommend a curfew because they trust their kids and letting them out will prevent them from running away and being disobedient some believe.

Having a curfew will make teens believe that their own parents don’t trust them and that will start a problem. Teenager’s shouldn’t be out all night partying or getting into trouble.

“It’s good to have a curfew because teens shouldn’t be out late,” said Fernada Arriagn a junior in high school. Parents have their child’s best interest in heart, they are protecting them from the craziness. Teens can’t say their parents don’t trust them if they are still giving them time to go out.

On the other hand, some teens think having a curfew is “stupid and not cool “. When their parents tell them to be back before 11, they don’t. I mean everyone has different ways of raising their kids but some don’t put their foot down and what I mean is that they let their kids do whatever they want.

Keeping curfew is what’s best for teens in my opinion. Teens shouldn’t take advantage of what their parents say.

As being a teen myself, I listen to my parents because I see how crazy and unsafe it is past 11.
