In some areas of the United States, 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?

In the United States of America, some of the states have laws that prohibit adolescents from being outside their homes without the supervision of elderly family members at certain times of the day. From my own point of view, the very fact that

such

laws still exist and are still being issued in some parts of the world, is in itself an

be the case in the now “mighty” USA? To sum up, total and undivided freedom can never come into conflict with being a teenager. Whether I am a child, a teenager, an adult or an elderly, my freedom should always be protected; the state should see to it.
