    Well I've been reading some of these comments and I feel teens should have curfew. Teens, especailly young teens, don't understrand the concept of being responsible. All you think about is having fun and fitting in. I think 18 is even young to be considered an adult becuase a lot of kids still haven't grown up by then. And I read someone saying adults should have laws or rules or something they do! Just because you are an adult doesn't make it ok to do whatever you want.

But, what I would like to see is a curfew that requires a student to call home by a certain time to say "mom, I am dropping off Mary and I'll be home in 20 minutes, have the hot cocoa ready". Then the ulturnative, My son rushing home to avoid discipline because he had a rough time getting his buddies to leave the party and never making it home at all. My nephew and his girlfriend were killed driving home from college after finals. He drove to her college (about a 5 hour drive

    first of all sweetie, how come you're out on the streets around midnight? you're only 14!!! does your parents let you go out that late? they must be crazy. when you're younger, the curfew law is retarted, but it's only for your own good. Anyone could come up to you and you wouldn't know what to do. (you may say you do, but in reality, you won't)./ please stay out of trouble!!!
