I do think that a state-enforced curfew is a bit extreme, however, such things are usually put into place due to gang-related activity. Is there a spike where you are? Regarding concerts: I do feel badly for under-21ers who don't get to see their favorite bands perform due a specific venue's guidelines. However, I also don't think that minors have any business roaming the streets past midnight. I will extend Damien's curfew here and there for a band that he really likes, but he must keep in frequent contact (if I'm not already with him,) and he must come straight home afterward. The 18-21ers are getting screwed the hardest, in my opinion.

Drunken driving is a huge issue where we are as well, but I'm not going to stand here and tell you that the offenders are always of that age group, because is simply isn't true. That being said, I live in an area where mass transit is much more readily available than it is in other, more remote areas, so that circumstance is the real culprit, in my opinion.

Debbie:
the only reason why we hav curfews it cuz our parent r onli trying to protect us,i kno they suck but i would rather hav a parent tht cared thn one tht dont. and as brett sed they r alright as long as its a reasonable time.


no text language please,

ON TOPIC: I believe that if people are comfortable with being out past 11pm so be it. On most weekends I'm out on the town usually till the small hours of the morning (Yes, I am 14.) However, it's all about safety in numbers. No guarantees but if you're with a group of more than 3 people you are about a thousand times less likely to be targeted by some kinda thug. Just my 2cents

i'm glad i have a curfew, tbh.
pretty much 'cause the area i'm in isn't the safest.
a lot of bad stuff has happened her so i'm happy to follow the rules.
it might be early, like ten thirty at night, but i think about my safety first.

It is good to have a curfew, and it is also kinda bad to have a curfew.
I understand that they put them in places with gangs, drugs, all that stuff. and that is where they should be. like where I live.

but on the other hand, you will have the kids who wont listen and do what ever they want when they want. and thouse are the kids who grow up to be drug dealers, not all the time! but I have seen it first hand. I live in the worst part of my town.....

but Like I said, it is a good idea more than a bad idea. And i agree with Accessorised Bones! I think about my saftey first also, sure I don't want to be inside when it is still light out, but I don't want to get shot either!
