In some areas of the US, a 'curfew' is imposed, in which teenagers are not allowed to out of doors after a particular time at night unless they are accompanied by an adult. What is your opinion about this?

the US, youngsters are only allowed to walk at

. I do not agree that

this

type of '

curfew

' is the best option to handle

this

situation

.

This

essay will discuss why it is not the best option.

Firstly

, the main issue about requiring

teenagers

with adults is

privacy. Like everybody else,

teenagers

have their own needs and desires. Based on

this

, sometimes, they may just want to go out at

night

to talk with a friend, date, or even think and decide something. Some of these activities should be realized alone, given that an

adult

can not contribute or advise in these situations.

Moreover

, an

adult

in these cases can only make things worse, since the youngster may feel ashamed of the awkward

situation

.

Therefore

, when one imposes

such

a '

' limiting them to only walk at

night

accompanied by an

adult

, all those needs and desires become somehow limited.

Secondly

personal growth to handle distinct situations and problems. When you go out alone and face some unexpected

situation

, you are required to handle it by yourself.

While

going through that experience, your mind will absorb that

situation

and its consequences, which will only make you grow.

For example

, if a teenager is robbed

while

walking alone at

night

, he or she will assimilate the

situation

and will be able to better handle another problem like

this

in the future.

However

, if there is always an

adult

accompanying the youngster,

then

the latter will not be able to absorb the experience given that the

adult

will always step up and face the

situation

.

Therefore

, with a '

curfew

', the personal growth of the

teenagers

will be affected. In conclusion,

although

some people may argue that the '

curfew

' is used to protect
