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?

Sample 1:

Nowadays, most societies have some problems for kids, especially teenagers. In some regions of the US, there is a rule which prohibits going out during the night without an adult. Some people believe that it is the best way to protect and monitor them. I completely disagree with this idea, and in this essay, I will support my opinion with examples.

First of all, children must stay with their friends or classmates when they have time. The time is mostly evenings. Spending time with friends may broaden their horizons. Secondly, parents cannot protect or follow their kids all the time because the kids have to solve regular problems on their own. For example, the parents let kids go to summer camping when they reach 8 in Australia according to ABC News in 2023, and this is the beginning of making decisions for them. Lastly, this must be the last choice to take care of children all the time for parents unless the government can solve any crime which may affect teenagers.

On the other hand, if parents do not know the best three to five friends of their child, it may show that they really do not pay attention to their kids to exactly know what they are doing right now. This is one of the main reasons why their boys are mostly in trouble. For instance, a statistic shows that 70 per cent of boys already have been recorded by the police when parents do not know any friends' names of their kids.

In conclusion, staying at home in the evenings is a good thing, however, kids have the right to go out when they are free. Personally, going out with adults must be the last option for teenagers.

Sample 2:

In some regions of the US, compulsory rules exist about curfew and youngsters must not be out of the doors after a certain time at night unless they spend time with adults. I strongly agree with this statement, because the majority of crimes occur at night and midnight, also, it may have bad consequences on their life and future.

Nowadays, people hear about different crimes and the majority occur at night. Youngsters try to do something exciting without focusing on the consequences like struggling and driving when they are drunk because they have no experience and would rather have a joyful time. These kinds of activities can be harmful to other communities and their lives. As a result, the government of the US makes strong regulations to make limitations for being out of the doors at midnight. For instance, teenagers who are under 18 in the UK cannot spend time out of the doors after 11 midnight without their parents.

In addition, spending time out of the doors after midnight is not a purposeful activity. In other words, by being out of doors at midnight they waste their time and do not do any useful activities. As a consequence, it will be their habit and they cannot abandon this activity and it may affect their education efficiency and family relationships. Due to that, if they spend time out of the doors with adults, parents can control them to prevent bad effects on their life. For example, in Iran, adolescents spend most of their time in the street to find a girlfriend or boyfriend and it can be seen they cannot concentrate on their professional life.

In conclusion, spending time out of the doors at midnight is a dangerous activity for teenagers unless they spend time with their parents, because they may perpetrate crimes or do harmful activities, moreover, they cannot focus on their professional lives because they waste time, and their parents can control them.

Sample 3:

In some parts of the US, there is a fixed time and after this time, young people are not permitted to go outside, and they can go only with mature people. While I accept that this phenomenon can be beneficial in terms of protecting teenagers, I believe that this can deprive them of their autonomy.

On the one hand, as in recent years, robbing has become a significant issue, teenagers can face this problem when they go outside without any adults. They can be beaten by robbers and even killed. For example, in many large cities, many young children are killed or beaten, and their money is taken. Therefore, setting a fixed time for all teenagers can be good for their lives and if there is a mature person with them, robbers can deter this tendency.

On the other hand, I believe that levying a curfew can take away children's independence, because when they are accompanied by mature people, they may not do what they want. They can do what adults want, which can result in depriving them of autonomy, ultimately leading to problems in their mental health. For example, since fixed time has been implemented in the UK, the young cannot do what they want when they go outside with their adults and thus, it has led to the deprivation of rights and many mental health concerns in the long run.

Taking everything into account, although imposing a curfew in some parts of the US can be advantageous for teenagers' safety, I am of the opinion that it is important to acknowledge that it can take away children's independence.

Sample 4:

Government in a major part of the United States restricts outdoor movement of teens provided an adult is along them. Although it would be inconvenient for certain segments of society, in the long run, youngster's supervision will be beneficial for both authorities and citizens. In my perspective, this will lead to building the United States as a safe and secure nation.

Monitoring youngsters at night could be a hassle for many people, especially those who are working parents. Since they already exhaust themself in their hectic routines, it might be challenging for them to opt for it. For instance, in this fast-paced era, everyone has already set goals to progress in his career and needs lots of dedication at the workplace including socialising with colleagues, meeting deadlines for their tasks, and seeking knowledge of tools and skills relevant to one domain. Moreover, along with this, they need to manage commuting and household chores due to which they are tired enough and unable to spare some time. Hence, professional and personal commitments seem to be a hurdle to accompany Young at night every time he needs to go out.

Adolescents are vulnerable to illicit activities. As there is a presence of criminals in the community, they always seek for the younger generation to join them so they can expand their network. For example, after research, it is analysed that 30 per cent of crimes are done by adolescents. Furthermore, Criminal investigation gives insights into how they indulge in crimes while joining other gang members at night. First, for enjoyment purposes. Next, they started snatching bags, mobiles, and jewellery. Then, they involved themself in drug dealing, bank robbery, or even target killing. Therefore, youngsters need a great deal of care so that they cannot risk the lives of themself and others.

In conclusion, authorities are in action, enforcing the guidance of elders at night. On the one hand, people have issues managing time. On the other hand, citizens' security is the first priority of authorities. According to me, the action itself is a contributing factor for the United State prosperity.

Sample 5:

As per the recent news in the United States of America, a curfew is enacted in some cities for six months to control religious issues. This curfew bans youngsters under the age of 16 from travelling out of their homes without any adult’s company from 8 p.m. to 6.a.m. In my opinion, even though some teenagers may not like this rule, it is a great decision to help them hugely in these types of situations.

First of all, I believe that situations like religious riots and attacks happening in some areas are really dangerous for everyone to travel safely within the cities. Considering this, no one would like to give permission to their kids to go outside of their homes on their own. I think not all of the youngsters are capable of dealing with such unsafe situations as they may have never faced these riots before in their life. Therefore, it is a wise action taken by the US government to impose a curfew by banning youth under 16 years of age from travelling outdoors unless they are accompanied by an adult.

Furthermore, there have been some cases that happened recently in which some people from one religion attack the kids of another religion just based on their appearance. For example, in New York City, a Muslim adult brutally killed two Sikh children last month. Those kids were playing in a playground alone near their home. The police found the attacker and took him into their custody. After this, the authorities took the curfew decision to avoid similar situations from happening again. Even though some teenagers may not like this as they feel this is restricting their freedom, I am sure that every parent would be happy with this implementation of the curfew.

In a nutshell, I reckon that imposing a curfew is really a well-required decision in current situations to keep American youngsters safe from the circumstances that occurred owing to the recent issues.

Sample 6:

As per recent news, some of the places in the US applied a curfew or restrictions and one of the impositions is adolescents are not allowed to roam freely outside by themselves at night after a particular time. Although they can go out with grown-up people. In my opinion, it is an absolutely necessary step, as young people will not be able to handle unforeseen circumstances that may arise, in addition to that, they may be misguided and may become part of a criminal act unknowingly.

The primary reason, which I could foresee, is that youngsters may not be able to manage potential or real danger. They may fail to identify horrendous unexpected situations. It may lead to a potential threat to their life. For example, a stone-pelting mob runs towards teenagers and then instead of hiding or calling the police. Young people may react to those people and indulge with them and end up hurting their life, in some rare cases it may lead to death. Moreover, the probability of these incidents happening at late night is high.

Furthermore, in some cases teenagers may get involved in criminal activity unintentionally, such as a person may contact them for handover packet to another person waiting at a different place, which eventually leads to disaster either by carrying a bomb, cash or drugs and may get caught which may lead to entire life gets spoiled. This will not only suffer teenagers but also their whole family financially as well as socially.

In conclusion, in my opinion, restricting adolescent's movement at night should be mandatory and fair to avert the consequences which will impact everyone in their family, because teenager's less knowledge or experience which leads to either attract a crime or failure to respond to these horrific instances.

Sample 7:

Teenagers are forbidden from roaming around the city after zero hours in some regions of the United States. Although they are allowed to be outdoors with the supervision of a mature person, it is still dangerous for them considering today’s society. From my point of view, I completely agree with this action taken by the authorities as it is dangerous for young adults to stay outside late. Some more reasons will be stated below in the essay.

The most compelling reason for holding to my view is that the crime rate has been rising rapidly. One clear example is the increasing section for crime reports in the local newspapers. Parents are concerned about the well-being of their children since youngsters are easily affected by a negative influence. By wandering around at night, there are always chances of getting themselves into illegal actions and bad habits like drug cases as a consequence.

Another reason for my position is the safety of the youngsters. For example, it is common in many countries, not only in the US, that some teenagers tend to rebel at some point in their life, and elders may find it difficult to control their activities and time. Therefore, having local restrictions can help them to guide their teens and keep them safe at home. A final reason in support of my thought is that wildlife is often observed to disturb the livelihoods in several districts of America. To illustrate, leopards and bears were reported in a few locations hunting for food and tried attacking pet animals and children. Thus, guardians should avoid letting young people go out alone after midnight in order to be out of harm’s way.

In conclusion, I fully support the idea of imposing a curfew for youths as it is a beneficial and secure approach to prevent them from various unfavourable routes. Hence, young adults are vulnerable and less likely to understand the difference between good and bad, it is best to be accompanied by guardians while staying late outside.

Sample 8:

Some countries such as the US add rigorous restrictions on the time of the day the youngsters are permitted to walk alone in the street. Even though this can ensure they are protected from danger, I do not fully agree with this opinion, as it can detrimentally affect them and their families.

On the one hand, the rate of crimes that are being committed nowadays is significantly increasing. As we can see in daily TV news and social media, there are numerous stories of horrible crimes which are carried out by psychotics or drug addicts. Consequently, teenagers are most likely the preferable targets of those criminals. For example, high school students tend to have frequent parties where they go drunk and end up using drugs. Which is the best chance for stalkers to take advantage of and harm those innocents.

On the other hand, preventing young individuals from freely going out on their own can bring detrimental consequences if not addressed properly. In some emergency situations, there is no alternative option but to allow the youngsters to go out in order to seek help. Which, if not possible, a lot of lives would be probably at stack. Not to mention, if our minors are subject to this sort of restriction, it will bring terrible effects on their mental health such as depression, anxiety and a tendency for isolation. For these reasons, I do not agree with such kinds of restrictions and I believe that our youth have the right to be free, provided that we ensure that they are fully aware of the outer world.

To conclude, despite the fact that it is not always safe to let our teenagers go out alone at night, I disagree with restricting them from practising normal daily life routines. However, it is still our responsibility as parents to spread awareness among them.

Sample 9:

These days, the excessive number of incidents happening to teenagers drives some countries to impose laws in order to protect them in which teenagers are not allowed to be out of doors after a particular time at night unless they are accompanied by an adult. While some people are against this approach and argue it may affect their freedom. I believe that in most cases, a curfew could be a good option to protect them.

Firstly, I think some places are more dangerous than others; accordingly, we cannot impose the same law as a general law, but it is known that youngsters are easily attracted to try new things, even if those experiments could be harmful to them. To illustrate, if a specific community is affected by drugs, most probably teenagers will try drugs unless there are strict rules to save them from this action.

Moreover, youngsters do not have adequate experience to handle emergency situations. As we mentioned previously, in some cities there are specific conditions like tough weather or heavy snow; hence, sometimes if there is no one with sufficient experience available to support below 20 years old folks, a crisis could happen. For example, in most cases the young are not allowed to drive due to lack of experience; consequently, an adult should be able to help.

To conclude, due to the aforementioned reasons, we may safely conclude that an imposed curfew could be beneficial in most cases to help protect teens from outsiders and keep them in a safe environment.

Sample 10:

Nowadays, juvenile delinquencies are very common worldwide. In the United States, youngsters are not allowed to leave their homes at a specific period of the night for the purpose of safety. However, if elders accompany the juniors, then there is no issue. I agree with the topic because of many reasons which will be explained in the upcoming paragraphs along with a valid conclusion.

To begin with, in many countries, especially in the USA, teenagers are prohibited to visit outside their homes alone or with their friends as many crime scenes take place during nighttime when everyone is at their home and the streets are completely empty. Crimes such as kidnappings, theft and murder are very common in the United States so for the sake of youngsters' safety curfew is imposed by the higher authorities of the state. For example, most well-off students' lives get destroyed by roaming at nighttime without the supervision of their elders. Furthermore, students ought to go to bed early, consequently, they will get up early in the morning in a good and fresh mood. For instance, most teenagers spend their late nighttime on the streets with their friends and, as a result, they miss their college and university in the morning.

In contrast, teenagers are busy the whole day long with their studies and hectic schedules which leads to a sedentary lifestyle. They only get nighttime in which they can walk and keep themselves healthy by doing some physical exertion. To illustrate this, most of the students get overweight and face health-related issues.

To sum up, though, youngsters keep themselves healthy by walking at nighttime when the streets are not busy with traffic. Nevertheless, in my opinion, there are many other ways to have good health by concentrating first on diet and arranging some gymnasium machinery at home as remaining safe from crimes is more pivotal.
