Some countries are considering imposing curfews in which teenagers will not be allowed outdoors at night unless they are accompanied by an adult. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this policy? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Recently, much polarization has arisen over whether a curfew, in which adolescents going out at

night

are required to have an escorting grown-up, should be implemented. While there are obvious demerits to

such

a policy, I believe it is of more good than harm.

This

essay will explore both sides of the argument and highlights justifications for my perspective. On the one hand, imposition of the policy will socially harm

teenagers

. When observed by adults, adolescents will feel uncomfortable talking with one another

or hesitate to engage in certain activities for fear of being misjudged.

This

may impair their ability to create meaningful memories with one another, causing tensions and corroding the meanings of

such

relationships detrimentally affecting their social lives.

However

, I am convinced that, even though feelings of uncomfy are inevitable, the

adult

will eventually become ignored. As long as teens’ actions are not socially incorrect, they will come to accept him as a mere observer keeping check on their safety.

On the other hand

, because certain cities have incredibly high rates of criminal activities during the

night

, some

teenagers

are at significant risk of being harmed. By being assigned an accompanying

adult

, they will be much benefited if they were to go outside. Coupled with

this

, the proposal may curb juvenile delinquency.

Teenagers

commit crimes themselves, especially during the

night

for they are less likely to be caught.

For instance

, some choose to rebel by vandalizing - spray painting or demolishing- public properties, while others take to stealing or looting in order to purchase expensive items.

Hence

, either by staying at home or having an escort, much fewer

teenagers

will participate in

such

activities. Summing up, while some people believe introducing a curfew forcing

teenagers

to have an escort

adult

at

night

will socially harm their interactions with peers, I believe over some time, as long as the group’s outings do not cause trouble, they will accept the presence of the

adult

.

In contrast

, the policy will not only bring safety to adolescents but

also

reduce the rates of juvenile crimes.
