why we should be against curfew:

-Can lead to feelings of resentment or rebellion: When individuals feel that their freedom is being
curtailed by curfews, it can evoke negative emotions such as resentment or rebellion. They may
perceive curfews as unfair or unnecessary, which can strain relationships with authority figures
like parents or local authorities. This can create a sense of defiance or a desire to challenge the
imposed rules.

-May create a sense of mistrust between parents and teenagers: Curfews can sometimes lead to
strained relationships between parents and teenagers. Teenagers may feel that their parents do
not trust them to make responsible decisions or manage their time effectively. This lack of trust
can erode the parent-child relationship and hinder open communication.

-Limits social interactions and activities: Curfews can restrict the ability to spend time with
friends, participate in evening events, or engage in recreational activities. This limitation can be
frustrating, especially for young people who value their social lives and independence. It may
prevent them from fully exploring their interests and building relationships.

counter arguments:
Building trust and communication between parents and children can be more effective in
ensuring safety. Open dialogue, setting clear expectations, and teaching responsible decision-
making can empower kids to make safe choices even without a strict curfew.

Instead of enforcing a rigid curfew, gradually increasing independence and freedom as the child
grows can help them develop responsibility. This allows them to learn from their own experiences
and make decisions within reasonable boundaries.

Rather than relying solely on curfews, parents can play an active role in teaching responsibility.
Setting clear expectations, discussing safety measures, and providing guidance can be more
effective in nurturing responsible behavior.
