Kwai Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I'm guessing alot of people posting on these boards are under 20, and many probably still live with their parents. I'm sure many of you have a curfew then. What time is it? I'm 16 and my parents will thrash me if I get home any later than 6:30.... -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 My 'curfew' is 11:00. I usually don't stay out that late. Once I went out for about three nights in a row untill 11:00. Maybe 10:30. My dad got all mad and started raving about how we don't spend time together even though my entire family just got back from a vacation. *shrug* Yeah, your curfew blows.

Semjaza Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I never really had a curfew. My parents trusted me. Of course, they started questioning this trust when I'd leave home and not come back for days at a time. So after that, they basically just made me keep in contact with them and let them know where I'll be. I don't think that's too much to ask. It's been like that since I was about 16 or 17.

Guest cloricus Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Same as Sem on the curfew bit, normally if I want to stay out I just dial up parents and ask. All I have to do is give rough details and times, so far I think they have only said no once. The closest thing I have to a curfew is on school nights I have to be in bed by 10:30 (which normally turns into 11:30) to stop me staying awake until three in the morning, unless I have prior arrangement say to see a movie opening at 12 midnight and that?s just a case of asking before hand.

Krademon Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Don;t really have a curfew personaly. Though my parents would probably want me home before 11:00pm and would prefer us walking in groups at night. Even though my area isn't dangerous, I suppose their just looking out for us so no hard feelings from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Uuh. I don't really go out. Nowhere in [my town] to go. It is a small country town, pretty boring. Nothing seems more pathetic to me than kids wandering around [my town]. Wow. lets go downtown and.......do .......stuff. Hell Yes, that rocks!!! Whatever. I stay at home. My bed time however bites. 8:00 to 8:30 I need to go to bed. Arrrrgh. Lately I was staying until 9 which is better, but that was only because I had *heaps of* homework. At my Dad's I stay up until, 11:00 or 12:00. which is fun, but tiring. I'm never happy. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 [color=002E55]I don't really have a curfew.. I haven't had one for years. Only time restriction my parents like to try and put on me is going to bed reasonably early on a school night; which normally doesn't work anyway, lol.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 My parents don't really enforce a curfew for me, though they would like me to be home before eleven, if possible. Usually when I [i]do[/i] go out, I'm out alot later than that, though they will still let me go out. If I intend to go out that late for seven days in a row, well I'm "thinking the wrong way". They would never let me go out after around nine before, though now I'm fourteen, and they've actually seen that I want to do things that [i]I[/i] want to, they usually let me.

Ares Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I can't stay out any later than 7:45 usually. I just have to be in before it's dark, which for me is 8:00. Yeah, it's not that bad, but I don't do much past 8:00 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyxe Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 [SIZE=1][COLOR=darkblue]I'm 14, but I don't have a curfew. As long as I tell my parents who I'm going with and where I'm going, they are ok with me being somewhere. They trust me... they know I won't do anything stupid. And besides, I always go with people I know and places that I know are fine for me to be. But the only really interesting things to do are movies, football games, go out to eat, and hang out at a friends place.... other wise I never go anywhere. That's small towns for ya. ^_^[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash's girl Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 My parents interrogate me and my friend, it's even worse with a boy! My curfew changes, depending on my psycho parents mood. If it's a school night, be in by 6:00-8:00, friday be by 9:00-11:00, saturday - 9:00-10:00. They're are super wierd about this stuff since my sister did something naughty one time.

Pagan Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I'm 17 and my parents have never gave me a curfew so I stay out as long as I please. I can leave town whenever I please without them even calling me to see where I'm going. I remember when i was 11 I had stayed out until 12:30 AM. My parents didn't even noticed that I as gone until I said something and then they didn't care that much. My parents come and go alot and are never really home; my dad has a job where he has to travel out of the country alot and my mom has cancer and is always gone for her therapy. They leave me in charge of my three little sisters and I try to control them but in the end they just run free. My house is so I don't know if they are home or gone. The curse of being rich is not having a close family, but you do get every thing you want. Some of you people are lucky that your parents actualy care. I wish mine wanted me home at 9:00 or10:00.

Vegitto4 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I'm 17, and in Texas, that means that legally, curfew doesn't apply to you. :p Anyways, my parents dont like me being home any later than midnight if i'm actually staying home. If i dont, then whenever we come home works. meh, i'll move out here within a few months, or at least get treated more like an adult once the lovely 18th b-day arrives. My friends and I generally dont start anything after 1:00AM though. Nothing good starts after then anyway. Things may continue, but nothing starts.

Shy Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 [size=1]My parents have never set a curfew on me, since I'm a "good kid." They are a little zealous about knowing where I am at all times, though. Because of that I try to always leave a note, even if it's incredibly vague. "Hanging out with friends," is enough to keep them happy. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 [size=1] I have never recieved a curfew, really. I think my parents trust me, and they now I'm not going to go out and do drugs or something. Anyways, I usually know my limit, though. If I'm hanging out with my friends, I'll usually call at 10:00 PM or sometime around that. My mom is pretty carefree on this particular subject. Like I said, they know I'm not a bad kid, or anywhere near it. ^_~ I'm basically a goody-goody when I need to be. The latest I have stayed out at night was 1:00 AM, which was the day I was at the anime convention. That was a exception of course...[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burori Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Ah yes Curfew the one word I dispise with a burning passion. I'm 17 and during school days I'm forced to go to bed at 9 or 9:30 PM. I love staying up late though, I'm a night owl. But I HATE mornings. I can stay up till 1:00 am during weekends, but I stay up till 3 to 5:00 AM I love the night! I hate curfew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posthumous Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 My curfew is aroud 21:00 or 9pm....My parents don't really trust me, although I wish they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kawaii kitty Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I don't have a curfew (thank goodness) but the latest I've stayed out was 11:00 that was when I was 12. The latest my brother was been was 2:00 and he was 14 years old at the time and was out of town too. My mom really spoils us sometimes... not that I mind. But sometimes I'd love to have a curfew on days other than school nights. Don't ask me why *lol*. I guess not having one shows my mom really does trust us...

Sara Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 [size=1]I've never had a curfew, exactly. The general idea is "Call if you're not going to be home before _________" Usually midnight, sometimes earlier, sometimes later. It's okay for me to be out, but I'm supposed to check in, I guess, so they don't start to freak out. I feel that this is sort of a "trial" for them in that I'm the oldest kid. They don't really know what to do with me, heh, especially since I've really only started being out this past year. So they don't really have anything to go on, except how long people let me stay at their houses. / Things will probably be different for my younger sister/brothers.

[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=deeppink]The eldest child, especially if they're female, usually has to bear the brunt of the curfew horror. Or maybe it was just like that for my friends and I. My parents were fairly restrictive with my curfew, I don't think they trusted me at all. Plus they always had this thing about safety, "You and your friends are all attractive girls, we don't want you to draw attention late at night, blah blah blah." My friends who had older siblings always had late [or no] curfews because their parents had been through it all before. Those of us that were the first kid always had the early, 11pm curfews. It really bothered me :drunk: But that's the beauty of college. I don't have to tell anyone where I'm going, I just do it ^_^[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Being the middle child of five, you'd think that there'd be precedents for me to follow. That doesn't really hold true, though. For some reason or another, my parents treat me differently when it comes to going out, probably since it happens so infrequently. My brother and sister are held on a tight leash, since they usually break whatever curfew they have. :rolleyes: But, since I'm just so innocent and perfect, I can do just about anything I want and stay out until whenever. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I didn't go anywhere until I got my own car, which was just a few months ago. So because I never went out anywhere, I never got a curfew. Now that I do go out, my mom told me "I don't care. Just be back before your grandmother gets home." Which is usually around 12:45am. When I'm staying with my dad and step-mom, there's no such thing as a curfew. My step-brother and I have come home at almost 4am, and nobody cared.

Dmitri_Dragoon Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Well I drive, and have plenty of things going on after school and on weekends. My mom would prefer that I get home at 11 on school nights, and midnight any other time. But I can just make an excuse of having to take someone home, which is usually true, or there was a accident.. but that one doesn't work as well. I'm well trusted, so the curfew isn't forced heavily upon me. Oh.. and for general info, I'm 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
