Answer 1

Young lady, you have a decent curfew. When I was your age, I had to be in the house before it became dark (at least by the time the street lights came on). You don't need to hang around in the street. It's not a safe world. Besides, there's nothing for teenagers to do that late but get in trouble (it's not like you can go to bars and clubs).

Answer 2

From your perspective, 12:30 might sound early, but from a parents' perspective it is generous. IF you are hangin out with older kids, then that's just the breaks. If there is a special occasion that you want to be out later for, i would prove to your parents that you are responsible, making good decisions and keeping yourself safe. Call on the cell phone, get in on time, and tell them what you have been doing while you were out. Let them meet your friends and hang out with them. Parents want to make sure that your are safe!
You also have a couple other choices- ask your friends to close down when you do. You could also develop some friends that are your age and have the same curfew, so it's not an issue. If you are tired from being out so long, take a rain check on your nights out. While i am sure you are a careful driver, many accidents happen late at night, which adds to your parents' concern. (maybe yours.) Anyhow, here are thoughts from both sides of the fence! :)

Answer 3

I grew up without a curfew, but that's only because my parents didn't care if I was drinking, smoking, getting date-raped, etc. Your parents give you a curfew because they love you. Be grateful for what you have. Prove you're responsible enough to have it and maybe they'll give you more freedom later.

But gee whiz -- 12:30!?!?!?! At 16?

You should be grateful. If you were my sixteen-year-old, your curfew would be 11 p.m., because there is absolutely NOTHING a teen your age "needs" to be doing past that hour other than getting ready for bed. How can you possibly be getting enough sleep for school staying out that late?

Answer 4

Sweetheart- you are NOT the only one with a curfew! My son will be 17 in October and he has to be in the house by 10 on school nites and midnight on weekends! Let me put it this way: Your parents love you with all their hearts and they are only trying to protect you! Man when I was 16 I would have killed for your curfew and my sons! Man I wasnt allowed to go anywhere after like 9. I know its tough when all your friends have no curfew but its obvious that your parents love you way more than theirs love them!!!!!

Answer 5

ya know waht shut up you have a better curfew at 16 then i did when i was 18 and graduated working and payin for everything my self i think you need to just shut up and deal w/ it your not 17 or 18 just deal w/ it til you are and until then just wait it out if you come home on time and fallow the rules you will get your later curfew

Answer 6

How do you get a curfew? You parents give it to you. HOw do you get RID of it? Ask you parents if you can stay out later because you live so far.

Answer 7

Prove to your parents that you can be responsible enough to get home at a decent time without thier designating a curfew.
Once you gain thier trust, KEEP IT, and actually be responsible. All young adults are different and handle responsibility differently. Also keep your parent's into consideration when making your decisions, such as calling them when you know when you will be home. Curfews are designed to keep you safe, and trackable.

Answer 8

16 year olds out that time of night are up to no good and asking for trouble. Not like you are at the pizza place or mall, because they are closed.

Besides don't most places prohibit youths this age from driving after a certain time?

Answer 9

properly, maximum possibly it incredibly is going to no longer take place. i did no longer have a curfew from the time i became into 14 on, however the way I have been provided that became into... no longer sturdy. I did in spite of i needed. They informed me while back abode... I got here abode while i needed. They informed me to pass to college... i did no longer. I drank. I smoked weed. I have been given f's and d's. I ran away. I stole a automobile. i became into on abode arrest, the bracelet... They informed me i became into loose to do in spite of i needed via fact i did no longer hear to them anyhow. via the time i became into sixteen I exceedingly plenty found out that stepping into worry isn't a street i needed to take. My mothers and dads ought to have under no circumstances enable me do all that stuff. i would not dream of letting my babies smash out with all that. No way. Your mothers and dads make rules and stuff via fact they love you. you will comprehend once you have babies of your man or woman.

Answer 10

I think 12:30 is incredibly generous. I would be grateful that my parents cared enough to make sure I was home safely.
