Okay i'm 16 years old and my curfew is 10.do you think that is unfair.?

Answer 1

If it is 10 on the weekends, well then I do think it is unrealistic. Weekdays it seems more than reasonable or even 9 in my opinion. I had the same kind of problem with my parents when I was about 14, I'am 31 now. I never really found a good solution to the problem either. I just chose not to listen to my parents and went out on the weekends anyway. It actually caused such a huge rift between me and my parents from the time I was 14 to 16 that I basically had to move out at a very young age. Honestly I don't think that my relationship with my parents has ever totally healed from that either. My parents still seem to think I'm some sort of a delinquent or something just because I used to like to hang out with friends alot and stay out late. The fact that I left home because of not wanting to listen to their rules is a big part of the reason they think that too. I was and am still just a very social person and had never done anything to justify my parants leash. It's a crazy situation to be in, I know how ya feel! All I can say is that I have learned to really not like parents who try to control their kids to an obsessive degree! It is not healthy for a child to grow up in the shadow of their parents fear! A parent should raise there child with LOVE, not Fear! I'am not a Christian, but I once even read somewhere in the Holy Bible that when parents offer their childern trust, it is called the blessing. It is when the child is at it's healthiest mentally and spiritually it basically explains. To hold a child back toooo much is not good for a kid at all, they will almost always respond with rebellion. Everyone is their own person and needs some room to grow, experiment and express themselves. Some parents don't seem to realise or are not realistic enough to see that everyone makes mistakes, and the way a person really learns about the world and themselves is through making them!!! Anyone who says any different has just not accepted and come to terms with their own mistakes that they have made in life!!! And they will go on, or already are over protective parents themselves unless of course they never have kids. Sadly I do not really have a good solution to offer you except for this. Try to work it out peacefully with your parents somehow or another. It is the best choice to make even know it may not be easy and it will probably take alot of patience. I certainly wish you all the best! I truely feel for ya, but you don't want to end up like me with a less than good relationship with your parents either. However, if they are toooo unreasonable I would honestly say, leave! You have your own heart and mind enough to know what you can and cannot handle as long as you are not always drunk or stoned 24/7.

AND THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE SAY THINGS LIKE MY KIDS THANK ME NOW FOR BEING TOUGH ON THEM KINDA BULL IS BECAUSE THEIR KIDS HAVE BEEN RAISED IN AN OVER SHELTERED HOME AND HAVE LEARNED TO FEAR EVERYTHING JUST LIKE THEIR PARENTS. FEAR IS THE #1 REASON WHY THEIR ARE SO MANY SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN WORLD SOCIETYS TODAY. LIVE THE WAY YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO LIVE, BUT DEFINETLY THINK THROUGH WHAT YOU DO BEFORE YOU DO IT, BECAUSE OFTEN THERE IS NO COMPLETE TURNING BACK ONCE YOU MAKE A DESCISION!

Answer 2

Well, it depends on what kind of child you are, where you live, and whether your previous behavior has been trustworthy.

But in short, I had a 10pm curfew on the weeknights and an 11pm curfew on the weekends when I was growing up, and it was the earliest of all my friends. I was a good kid -- didn't drink or smoke or do drugs, and neither did my friends, but it didn't matter to my mom, and it probably won't matter to your parents either if these are their rules. My mom's reason was that she couldn't go to sleep until she knew that I was home safe, and she refused to wait up for me.

One suggestion I would make is to try to come up with a reasonable compromise. For instance, if your friends have a later curfew, see if your parents will agree to having them come over from 10pm to whenever their curfew is. That way, your night doesn't have to end, but your parents will know you're safe. We did this, and the group of people I hung out with will always be remembered as "the 11:00 club."

Good luck, and take a moment to thank your parents for actually caring about your safety, as much as it can be a pain in the butt!

Answer 3

Hm, no a curfew for a sixteen isn't unfair. 11 p.m. is high-quality, yet there would desire to be suome exceptions to that for a newborn that previous...working example, if there's a stay overall performance/action picture, ect. and that they have asked permission and you comprehend how they gets there, the place it is and who they are going with, what's the wear and tear, rather? little ones desire regulations and rules, yet being too strict with a sixteen 12 months previous boy will backfire and maypersistent them to sneak out or in any different case rebellion. with the aid of allowing them to have an hour or 2 extra on occasion...as quickly as they have earned it with the aid of showing you they may well be relied on and function some trouble-free sense, you would be doing far extra stable than injury. sixteen is the age once you will desire to start letting their "lead rope" out some, so as that they might start to common procedures to act in the genuine international, jointly as understanding you're nevertheless there to capture them in the event that they desire it. in any different case, in a 12 months or 2, once you now no longer have that administration and that they have not been allowed to learn something and come across in a safer way, they gained't comprehend the thank you to act!!

Answer 4

nope. what good can come of you being out past 10pm in most cities and states there is an 11pm curfew for anyone under 21 years of age. some places only 18. there is nothing good for a kid to be doing after 10 pm out of the house sorry you are a kid act like one

Answer 5

Not really. 11 is the latest I would say your curfew should be... but, at 10 pm 16 year olds don't really need to be out anyway.

Answer 6

not at all!

there is a legal curfew for any one under 18 years old (I've never even heard of it being enforced, but it is in the legal books), i don't remember what it is, it's either 10 or 11... but still, 10:00 is pretty late, and you need time to get ready for bed and to bed for when school starts... 10 is more then fair...

I remember when I was a teen, no matter how late i was told i had to be home by, it was to early for me, i alwas wanted to be out later...

I would suggest listening to your parents in this, they seem to know what they're doing...

Answer 7

Yes my 16 year old has to get home by 10. I care about her as your parents probably do. We all remember being 16.

Answer 8

During the school week 10 is fair! But on weekends or on summer vacation, and you checked in regularly 11:30 midnight

Answer 9

no...I was 16 and had a 8:00 curfew so shut up and my sister when she was 16 her curfew was when it got dark even when it got dark at 6

Answer 10

If your parents feel that is a good curfew, then trust their decision. They want the best for you and know about the dangers of the world.

It also matters where you live.
