Curfews

      Now it's time for something that most parents tend to enforce and most teens tend to hate. That is curfews. Some parents have different ideas of curfew. You may know some teens who do not have one at all, and are allowed home at any time of the night. Then there are those who have super strict ones. Super strict in my opinion is like ten at night. But why do parents have different curfews? Well, it's simple. First thing to look at is the amount of trust the parent holds in the child. If the teen is one who acts out a lot and has done nothing good to earn a late curfew, then they most likely will have a strict one. On the other hand, if a teen has been very good and follows all the rules then they rightfully deserve a later one. Each child gets what they deserve.
      Looking at curfews in my eyes is different from my parents eyes. In my opinion, I am 18 years old and don't feel I need an early curfew. Mainly because I am technically an adult and any mistakes I make should be all on me. Plus I have put the work in to gain my parents trust. This is how many teens see it. But in my parents eyes the curfew is a good thing. They believe it gives me structure and doesn't allow to me be out and about all over the place. I don't mind the curfew though. In the end, even from a teens view, the curfew is a good thing.
