11:00pm unless he's working at a summer job, then a reasonable time to ensure he gets enough sleep to be cooperable and functional the next day.

I'd say it depends on whether he's responsible at home and how he acts with you. Then you'll know if he's responsible on his own. Assuming he is then I'd say 10:30-11:00, but you should know what he's doing, and being out every night would make me worry. And check up on him. It's not being nosy, it's making sure he's in situations he can handle. That's your responsibility. If he's going to a movie or dance then adjust the curfew. I don't think the actual time is the issue anyway, it's what he's doing with his time, and what there is for kids his age to do with themselves at night. Smoking and drinking are the main things around here because there is nothing to do but hang out in parking lots or the basketball court, and most kids out past 10-11 will be involved with that, especially if they're exposed to it often. Yeah, you can trust your kid but you also have to remember that he may need help with certain situations, and keeping a tight curfew might be what he needs at times. It might be easier for him to blame you and your "terrible curfew" than to admit he just doesn't want to join in with what they might be doing. Peer pressure sucks (that's word-for-word from my teenage son) But then again, maybe they're all good kids and just hanging out. Good luck!

i'm turning 18 next month and am also graduated (solid grades not in any respect in problem). My mom advised me that i don't have a curfew. She thinks that considering i will varsity and gonna be 18 that i will make my own judgements, see you later as I supply her a difficult estimate of ways previous due i'd be. believe me, your daughter wont prefer to stay out ALL evening, and if she does it is going to likely be her own fault in the morning even as she's drained and he or she'll study her lesson. i imagine you ought to def enable her flow and in case you nevertheless desire her to have a curfew i'd say possibly a million or 2.

is he responsible , does he help out around the house if so... don't give him one... if he starts misusing the privalage and coming in at crazy hours then I'd say....start at midnight and reduce it by 30 minutes ever time he comes in late.... i never had a curfew and i came home by 11:30 every night .... i just knew betterthen staying out much later
