What is, in your opinion, a reasonable time for a 13 year old boy to be expected to come inside and stay in?

I don't think a kid 13 should be out and around without anywhere in particular to be after dark, for the most part. If there's a school event or other event, and the kid is with friends and has safe transportation back that's different. This leaves a 13 year old in the house and able to do homework, spend family time, read, watch tv, etc. on most school nights; and maybe some Friday nights when there's an event he can go to.
It would leave him with afternoons and weekend days for being out, although, again, he should be in Sunday evening by dark.
During Summer it gets dark later, so he can be out and around later. It all works out, doesn't it....

School days ( Monday- Thurs. And sundays) 9:00. Friday and sat. 10:00 PM.
I am one to believe that a 13 year old shouldn't really be by them selves at all anyway.

Depends on the parents...when I was growing up I had all my cousins, same age, like 20 cousins or so, and we all hung around so we were always going out with each other so MOM's didn't worry cause the Male cousins would take care of us Females, boy that was so much fun...now we are all older now and it is funny to remember the good old days...

a curfew for a 13 year old boy would be in school nights it would be about 7:00pm so that he could brush his teeth, then go to bed. in weekends, it would be about between 8-9:00pm except Sunday because then school will have to start. in holidays, around 10:00pm because he will have family holidays.

School night-Sunday to Thursday- 9pm . If your school work is done first.. Friday night- The amount of time it would take to come home from the Highschool football game. Saturday- between 9pm and 10. But when do you spend time with you family?

Mine is around 9:00PM on all days of the week. There were many exceptions though especially when I'm just at a friend's house or at events that involve school.

13? I'd say 10:30 at the latest. In a couple of years, move it back to 12. But 13 is still awfully young.
