Answer 1

the child is only 13, so no... The parents are just being very proctective and right now in the world I def would be....

Answer 2

She's 13! Yes that is normal. Chic, when I was 17, graduated from HS and in college, when I came home 2 visit my parents they STILL didnt want me coming in the house past 1000! Its THEIR house so its THEIR rules, she will thank them in the long run when all her friends that are hanging out late @ night start becoming pregnant and have STD's LOL... She's barealy even a teenager... 13? please.... if you were 16 then MAYBE that would be a LITTLE strict, but 13? Too many things are happening on the streets, rapes, kidnapes... yea all of that is happening.... do 13 year olds watch the news or is it just MTV? LOL... J/K chic...but its not 2 strict ur parents just care about her that's all. They will lighten up.... Im the oldest of 6 children and my parents had me on LOCK DOWN! But Im thankful now because over half of my classmates are pregnant or drop ~ outs.... sad, I know...

Answer 3

No, they aren't being too strict. 13 is still a young child so no, she shouldn't be out alone at night. When I was 13 my parents would drop me and my friends off at the movies, they would watch us go in, and then be there to pick us up right when it was over. One of my friends moms even checked to make sure we had ticket stubs to prove that we actually went. Now days anything can happen even in the very safest places so nobody can be too careful. A little girl has no idea how to take care of herself in a bad situation.

Answer 4

She's 13. Her safety is her parent's responsibility. It's not strict because she is allowed to go, the catch is, with some type of supervision. There's nothing wrong with this request is there?

It's normal for parents to have this type of a restriction on a 13 year old. Now, if the parents are doing this to their 18 year old child, now that's bad.

With the world we are now living in, you can't blame parents for wanting to protect their children, can you?

Answer 5

This day and age, no. You have all sorts of perverts wondering the streets, little boys being raped and murdered in shopping center bathrooms in the middle of the day, with their parents right outside.

No, I think her parents are sensible. The only reason they are what you call 'strict' on her, is because they care, and want to keep her safe.

It's not for anyone else to say whether or not they should raise their daughter this way, not you, or her. She will see when she'd older, wait, my parents really DO know more than me!

Answer 6

She is only 13 and her parents love her dearly. Most likely, it is not her that they mis-trust. Have you heard of the several kidnappings happening around some malls? Public places that are second home to youngsters also attract those who would take advantage of their innocense. Her folks don't want to lose her or find out that she is hurt because they did not care to restrict her independant actions.

I understand their concern. I also understand that she wants to be free to do as she likes. Kids don't know ALL of the dangers to look for. Knowledge comes from experience.

Perhaps her folks would let her go if she went with several friends who all promised to stay together and look out for each other. There is strength in numbers. Talk to her folks with her and ask why they feel as they do. Don't argue, or you will not get anywhere.

Answer 7

Well its strict, no doubt about that, and it might just be normal to her family. I'm not going to say anything against her family because my family was the same exact way. (Up until I was 18 I couldn't get home after 9 PM or I'd never hear the end of it... then again I had a boyfriend) Parents pretty much have the same basic rule: The son/daughter will obey their rules while they are living under their roof. And I did. But now I'm outta there... woohoo!!

Answer 8

A 13 year old should have some kind of supervision when going out. It is normal and fair. There are many dangerous elements out there and a 13 year old is not mature enough to always make wise choices, and there are a lot of sickos out there who are always looking for kids to victimise. If you really love your friend, you'll respect her parents' wishes. Why not hang out with her at her house or your house? You can watch movies, play games, etc.

Answer 9

I can see where they are coming from here. I grew up in San Diego and while Del Mar is not bad at all, I think that a girl as young as 13 shouldnt be out alone at night.

Answer 10

Babysitting - canines walking - paper course - errands for the elderly in the community - mow lawns - freshen up what ever acquaintances desire - chores - once you're 14 in some states you will get a section time activity in some great markets ignore the millionaire - that's the success of the draw on that one

Answer 11

It is normal. Her parents job is to keep her safe and they cannot do that if she is running the streets unsupervised. You cannot believe what can happen to a young girl out there these days. They are being reasonable especially if an older teen can supervise.
