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?
Today,
juvenile crimes are rapidly increasing at an alarming rate. In other words,
teenagers themselves are becoming perpetrators or victims, and this has become
a major social issue. As one of this issue’s solutions, parents make their
children’s
curfew and are encouraging to keep it. However, I insist that this coercive
rule can cause side effects, and I will explain my arguments in this essay.
Most of all, there is a possibility that the curfew
will lead teenagers' future to the wrong path. In life, the adolescence is the
first time that teenagers are seriously concerned about their future, and
simultaneously, comparing themselves to others such as friends or neighbour.
Hence, they are mentally immature, it is easy that they are easy to rip their
own heart up. At this time, if their parents force to keep a curfew, they
assume that their parents do not trust them. Due to this, some teenagers who are
ripped their heart up show violent behaviour and make bad friends and sometimes
commit real crimes. A large number of juveniles with these tendencies still
look the same even after they grow up. In fact, many criminals, especially
domestic violence offenders have testified that they still remember the wounds
from their parents in childhood. Besides, the curfew is a violation of children’s fundamental rights. According to
the UN’s
convention on the rights of the child state, every child has freedom of movement.
In other words, parents do not have any rights to force curfew their children.
In conclusion, the parent’s heart for his child is a very
good thing. However, they should trust and respect their children and encourage
them to follow the rules voluntarily, not force them to.
