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

It has been noticed in few areas of the United States to impose a curfew on the movements of adolescents at late hours unless and until they are accompanied by a guardian. In my ,opinion lawmakers should make proper regulations and control the crime rate rather than imposing restrictions on

teenagers

by not letting them move freely in their own country.

This

essay will

further

throw some light on the disadvantages of imposing curfews on

teenagers

and restricting their rights to freedom.

To begin

with, a developed country like the United States is considered a safe country where individuals can step out safely at any given point in time.

However

children should be given ample amount of knowledge and awareness about the crimes happening in the neighbourhood from a very young age. Self-defence training should be introduced in their curriculum at school. Many parents may not be in a position to be around teenage kids at

night

, especially the ones who work during

night

shifts.

Hence

it may not be an effective and feasible solution to have all teenage kids under parental guidance every

night

. To conclude, in my opinion, imposing curfew and restrictions on

teenagers

may not be the best solution and they should be allowed to go outdoors at

night

they should be empowered with knowledge and basic skills to safeguard themselves. Government should take necessary steps to control the crime rates and create a secure environment to live in.
