I am turning 19 in october and graduated from high school. I don't drink or smoke or swear and graduated in the top 5% of my class. But the latest I am allowed to stay out is 11:30. My other friends either have a curfew of 1 or later or don't have one at all. I've tried talking to my parents but they already think 11:30 is too late and it should be 11. Any advice?

look you're 19, which techincally means you can do whatever you want....but if your parents give you the speal of 'under my house, you don't have to live here etc..." then one night, just go out and stay out. call them at 11:15 and tell them you're staying out later, and that you're not doing anything wrong, you just want to hang a little longer. tell them when you're going to go home, and go home at like 1230. they might not like it but then they'll know you were telling the truth and they'll realize..."hey that wasn't so bad." gl and hf

i became exaclty like that for the time of highschool and my curfew became 9 till my junior 12 months. Then it became ten till my senior 12 months. Then it have been given bumped to 11. those cases have been in user-friendly terms on weekends too. It became 8 in the time of the week except i became at an added curricular. i think of you have a honest curfew. i'm nineteen now and because i became so good approximately my curfew in highschool i'm getting to stay out as previous due as i choose as long as my mom and father understand the place i'm. i comprehend it sound undesirable, yet I stay decrease than their roof so its honest that I shop on with their regulations. that's good that your mom loves you adequate to guard you. an excellent kind of persons are not that fortunate. Chin up-youll be an grownup quickly adequate making your man or woman regulations and additionally you will omit the form. LOL. i'm hoping this helped. good success! P.S. not something good happens after 11 besides except you're over 21 or carry close out around not so super human beings.

you are 18 and live at home and a curfew is appropriate...ask if it can be midnight...when my children were in the 9th grade their curfew was 10:30, in the 10th grade-11:00, in the 11th grade-11:30 and in the 12th grade-midnight...and it is still midnight for the junior in college when she is visiting but she can call and get extension but not two nights in a row. Really, she tells what time to expect her then it is her responsibility to stick to it. And she does.

First of all, if you are 18 or over, there is really nothing that they can do to make you come home by that time. HOWEVER........if you are living under their roof and don't want to create "waves", just sit down and talk to them. Remind them that you are responsible and they can trust that you won't be out drinking and driving, etc..... Let them know all this and tell them that you will touch base with them so they know that you are O.K. I guarantee that is what this is about - they don't want to worry about you. And it doesn't matter how old you are - parents always do, trust me! I'm 29 with three kids and my parents still get on me when I don't touch base with them. Good luck

same exact thing for me .. everything you said is true for me too except I can stay out until 12 but still thats only 30 mins.
So i'm just moving out to go to college
you could get an apartment with 2 of your friends tho, rent shouldnt be more than 400/month a piece for a really nice place

You're 18 and you have an 11:00 curfew? First of all, you are an adult and can do as you please. Your parents do have a point, though, if you are still living with them, so get a job, rent an apartment, and live!

your parents are born in a different era then yourself. it's called old fashion. i got to admit though old fashion people have more morals and standards then the people of today. they are not going to change because you will always be their little child even when you are married with kids or a grand parent. like everyone says you'rs old enough to make your own choice, stay or leave. just don't rebell and if you leave ,leave on good terms because you are lucky to have parents that care for you. good luck

you are 19 - you are old enouhg to sit down with your parents and discuss this reasonably
I think you need to point out to them that you have always lived up to their trust and hence they should trust you more
i think they shoudl compromise to a gradual increasing curfew
first to 12.30 would be reasonable
if they grow to trust you on this then it shoudl be to 1.00
and ultimately it should be up to you as long as they know where you are so they dont worry
at 19 you are an adult - they have to let go of you a bit more - you have earned their trust

It will be hard to get them to give you a later curfew. Remeber this one rule when it come to being a parent:
As long as your under my roof you have to live by my rules.
Hint! Hint!

This is not the answer you want to hear, but the solution is VERY easy. Get a job, pay you own way, DON'T live with your parents and do what you want.
If you live under their roof, you are subject to their rules, however unjust they may seem.
