Should 18 year old girls have curfews?
Answer:
If you are responsible, honest ,trustworthy and inform your parents of your whereabouts then no.
Parents are looking out for their children (even at eighteen) and are truly concerned about them emotionally and physically. They want to keep their children safe and curfews are a way to give them this. If you live at home you might have to abide by their rules for the time being unless they are truly comfortable with your decision making skills and they trust you. But until then be glad someone is looking out for you.
No
If they still live with their parents and arent paying rent then it is whatever the parents establish as far as rules.
Nope. Your considered an adult at 18 so why should an adult have a curfew.
Yes, if she still lives at home. Not early like 10pm, though. Perhaps more like 11pm.
That's for the girl's parents to decide...
In the U.S., 18 year olds are legally adults (though they can't drink alcohol, go figure). They don't need to be in by any specific time.
I don't think so. You are considered an adult at 18. But as you know, if you live under your parents roof you have to follow their rules.
Once your 18 you are considered an adult, so no.
some should if they are bad
if you still live under your parents roof then yes. once you have your own place you can do what ever the hell u want!. if you cant afford you own place then your not old enough for your own curfew
if you still live at home
no, she's an adult
depends on the maturity
If she is still in school and living under the roof of the parents then absolutely. She needs to respect others in the house and not come and go, wake and go to bed whenever she feels like it. There is no magic wand at 18, regardless of what kids think and usually they still really want some guidance or they'd be gone already. Make it later (midnight unless in a specific spot) but not free reign. good luck...
If they still live at home. I think that they should be home at a certain time or stay at a friends, after calling and letting parents know they won't be home. Unless they are still in high school, and then yes they should have a curfew.
Nope, just let the parents know when you get home.
Yeah, if they still live at home and their parents say so. I did. It's called respect. You want to be able to stay out til whenever you want, get your own place.
It depends on the parents. She should at least call and let you know where she is and when she will be home so you arn't worrying.
If the girl is still living at home and in school then she should be expected to come back a t a decent time.
if she lives with her parents, then yes
She is an adult, yes, but if she's living with YOU, she needs to follow YOUR rules. Set up earlier curfews for week nights and sundays, and later ones for fridays and saturdays.
Adults visiting other adults houses follow their rules, like an adult. Because their an adult. You hear?
if she is living with her parents then yes.
If you are 18 and live at home (maybe still in school also) you should have a curfew, I did! I didn't graduate until 19, and for a year I had a curfew, it didn't bother me so much though. If you have a curfew, it's because your parents worry and love you. I mean what if they didn't set you a curfew, and you just never came home... They would be worried sick about you, and not know what to think.
Techinacally, you're not an offical adult. Isn't it 21 the legal age?
It's unnecessary to have a curfew for 18 year olds... but maybe some others do have set times.
Yes, but they should be lenient, around 1 or 2 AM.
Are you people crazy??? An 18 year old is an ADULT. If they happen to still live at home, which they should IMO stop doing at the earliest possible convenience, it makes no difference. Parents have no legal right to impose a curfew on someone over 18 regardless of the living arrangement. Sometimes a young person needs to stay at home for a little while to get through school or college or whatever, but the parental controls are gone. What's amazing to me is that someone over 18 would accept such rediculous thing. Unbelievable.
If she's living at home and mom and/or dad are paying the bills, absolutely. If she's mature enough to have a job and is paying her on way then no.
If they are still living at home it should be what ever rules the parents establish.I would think a good compromise would be allowing her to go out as long as you knew where she would be and when,she could leave a message whenever she got to where she was going on maybe a cell phone that would be turned off durring the night,so that you could cheack it in the morning,and in case of an emergency she would call the house phone.If she is out the house and living on her own,then no she should be able to make her own choice of when to out and when to come home.
Not in my opinion. When you turn 18, you are an adult by law. Unless of course you go to a college that has a curfew, in which case you should listen to what your authorities tell you.
If She Still At Home Yes
