Teen Curfew

Thats the thing, there really isn't anything. The disappearance of 3rd spaces also comes to mind but thats another topic.Maybe its up to us, the adults, to organize something for them? There is just such a lack of options. I don't have the answers but I'd sure like to try.

if they do all of those things, or are working til about 8 pm, there will be fewer kids with Time to participate. Plus, if you are busy all day , you are Tired at night, and go to bed, even as a teen. I still think involved parents would make a big difference. Knowing where your kids are, and What they are doing, would surely help stop some of this.

In Southern California where I was raised there was a 10:00 p.m. curfew for minors under 18 and it was strictly enforced. If you were standing around somewhere the police would arrest you for loitering. And of course the iconic house parties of my youth would have police rolling up shortly after curfew if the party was big. We were always gone by 10:00 p.m.
