The teenage years are the time in a person’s development when they begin to need to make their own decisions, and I believe it is the role of parents, not the government, to decide how much freedom teenagers will have to make those decisions.
This

 is why I oppose state-mandated curfews for young people. While making
this

 general point, I concede that there might be some community-based exceptions. If,
for example

then

 perhaps a
