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

The United States is adopting preventive

safety

for teenagers by restricting their movement during late

night

, unless there’s an adult with them. While it may to a certain extent contribute to their

safety

, it may

also

hinder their independence.

This

essay will discuss the pros and cons of the ‘curfew’ imposed on adolescents, not allowing them outside unaccompanied at

night

. Imposing a curfew could lead to better

safety

for teenagers. During the

night

, the streets become unsafe as a whole and especially for kids and adolescents as there are a lot of miscreants roaming in the streets.

For example

, there have been several cases in the news that in Arizona's unsafe neighbourhoods lots of kidnappings have been happening recently.

In addition

, drug junkies are on the loose at

night

, and in Detroit lots of cases of robberies and mugging

of

them have come to light. For these reasons, it has been advised by several districts to restrict movement of teenagers outside the house at

night

.

Conversely

, there are times when adolescents may have to necessarily leave the house at

night

. There could be reasons for them working part-time after school, there could be a medical emergency for which they have to go to the hospital.

For example

, more than half the teenagers do a part time job after school hours in Iowa which leads to them returning home after dark. The curfew will just take away their independence and learn how to take responsibility for themselves. In conclusion, teenage

safety

is a crucial issue in current times.

Although

, forcing a strict restriction on their movement at

night

can be a solution to some extent, ultimately, it is the responsibility of the adolescent to ensure they behave responsibly and safely. So, rather than imposing restrictions, teaching responsible behaviour should be the priority.
