CurfewStrict rules create rebellious teenagers. Many people think that curfews are a key way to keep teenagers out of trouble, but that's not the case. The curfew is neither enforceable nor justified, nor does it represent a way to reduce criminal activities committed by adolescents. Curfews are ultimately useless because there are too many reasons that contradict why a curfew would work. Curfew advocates may argue that it is important to monitor your child and have them follow a strict schedule, but due to the rapid changes in a teenager's day it is nearly impossible to determine an accurate schedule that a teenager can strictly follow. Between the athletics, homework, work, and necessary social activities that the average student participates in, there is too little time in the day. According to the National Education Association, 12th grade students should spend about two hours of their time on homework each night. Student athletes spend approximately three hours a day between practice and training (Thompson). Many students experience more than two hours of homework because they take more rigorous classes than other students. With some students having more than two hours of homework and at least three hours of athletics, it is not only exhausting for the student, but it also forces them to do homework late into the night. If a student does not meet the requirements to complete the assignment, he or she may have to stay out later than the curfew allows. While school work is an acceptable reason, if it occurs too often it could lead parents to mistakenly believe the child is lying. Not only does the curfew struggle to apply to teenagers, but it is also discriminatory against teenagers. Throughout the story… in the center of the card… about important events that happen, and if a teenager is about to break a rule or read what's stopping them to dissuade them from breaking another. If history tends to repeat itself, then why do cities and parents continue to impose curfews? Works Cited McClain, Cara.
