Arguments Against Teen Curfew

I as a teenager most certainly agree to a curfew of ten on weekdays and twelve on weekends. Nothing good ever happens on the streets in the dark. Most activity on the street after nine is not good. I know I wouldn 't want my kid out in the dark on the street alone walking. Don 't be that parent that lets their child get away with whatever they want. They will be nothing but trouble, having a curfew will give them privileges and responsibility. If your teen has his or her license they are not supposed to be out after twelve anyways which is also really excessive. If you can drive during the week and you don 't have work, yes I agree you should be home at ten, but if you have work yes you can be out later until your shifts over then straight home.

According to “Should Schools Start Later?” by Junior Scholastic, “A later start, say opponents, also interferes with some teens part time jobs” (Scholastic 21).
