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?

There is currently a contentious argument whether teenagers should be allowed to be on their own at

there are too many people with bad intentions and teenagers could be an easy target for them. The main reason why I think that curfew should be imposed is

teenagers do not always think of the consequences of what they are doing.

On the other hand

, some might say that each parent has the right and freedom to trust their sons and daughters, giving them the opportunity to learn by themselves.

That is

under the assumption that they will educate them about the dangers and risks. In conclusion, I believe that imposing a curfew more advantages than disadvantages because even though the parents try their best to educate about all the dangers, the risks of letting their sons and daughters on their own during the

are too big and
