why do all you kids hate/dislike a CURFEW? why is it you all dont want it? so you can go off and do things you nkow arent allowed to do? personaly for me i like having my curfew. i know i wont do anything wrong if there was no curfew but think about it all those kids running around after dark. i mean after 1994 the crime rate went down and only 7 cities went for the curfew. just think about what you all are saying why go for something just cause? personaly i dont want my town to have the highest crime rate and have nothing around to be proud of.

I personally think that all of you are dyslexic because you can not spell anything right. Other than that, minors brains are proven to continue to develop until they are about 25. Because of this decision making is sometimes more difficult for us. I think because of this strict minor laws are necessary and helpful for everyones safety.
