Teen curfews

[MODU]

On school nights, I'm all for it.  Kids should be home doing their homework and/or getting enough sleep for the next school day, barring any approved job which releases them by 10pm.

And what about the summer?

That's up to the local administrators.  To me, I say they can be out to 11pm if they are over 16.

17 year olds can only be out to 11? Fascist!

When I was 17 I was once out in Minot, ND until 2 AM (that was how long the show/"concert" I was at lasted), meaning I got home at around 4 AM. So were tons of other kids. No problems at all.

Coming from you, that's a compliment.

Do these apply if the teen is with an adult?

I think all states recognize 18-year olds as "adults," so once they reach that age, the curfew doesn't apply.

Do these apply if the teen is with an adult?

Not if it's a parent or whatever. But I imagine 18 year old friends don't count.

Teens with parents tend to be emancipated in the minds of the state, as well as the federal government.
