<p>For me... I didn't have a curfew until February. My parents decided to set it at 11:30. And then last night I got home at 11:15, and they were like "You've been out too long", because I left my house at 1. So anyways, my <em>new</em> curfew is I can stay out for up to 8 hours at a time and I still have to be home by 11:30. So, if I leave my house for lunch at 12, I have to be home by 8. I turn 18 in less than three months. FML.</p>
<p>^In my state, 15 year olds can’t drive without an adult past 6 during Standard Time and 8 during DST. 16 year olds can get a waiver to drive until midnight. 17+ can drive 24/7. Weird how it varies from state to state. Oh and 16 year olds who have held their license for at least a year can also drive 24/7.</p>
<p>My mom tried to implement the driving curfew as my curfew (which is 10 on weeknight, 11 on weekends; not happening)… But she kept giving me later and later times because I was out with my friends who are ‘good kids’. My curfew varies with what I’m doing. If I’m hanging out at someone’s house shooting pool or something, I can be out till around 12:30 on weeknights, 1:30 on weekends. If I’m out about the town, it’s a little earlier because Miami is a ‘rough city’. She’s usually pretty lucky cos I get tired before that and go home early ■■■■■.
Luckily I turn 18 in less than a month… after which we’ll be having an ‘adult discussion’ about times that I think are fair.</p>
<p>I don’t really have one…
but then again, I can’t drive so that pretty much makes my curfew before my parents go to bed (good thing my dad stays up late!).</p>
<p>Idk… don’t have any friends where I live, so it’s not like I’m going out anyway… probably would be like 11 or something. At school, we have pretty strict curfews so the latest out you can be on friday is 10:15 [and we have study hours until 9] and on saturday it’s 11. otherwise, study hours start at 7:30 and go until 9:30 [and i can be out form 9:30-10…sooo much freedom -.-]</p>
<p>I’m 17 and i don’t have one- I can leave home in the middle of the night if I want. When I first started driving, my parents got stricter, but then it went back down.
I occasionally come home at like 3:30 am, in which case I usually just explain that people showed up at someone’s house with whom I wasn’t comfortable. (when I see my parents in the morning)
They figure that I’m a responsible kid, so it all works out.</p>
<p>My curfew is 9:30 on weekends and during the summer, as a 17 year old. When my brother was 17, his curfew was 11:30. On school nights I am not allowed to do anything besides come home or do EC’s, so there is no curfew.</p>
<p>I hate my parents, their strictness, and their double-standards.</p>
<p>I’ve never had a curfew. My parents know that I’m a responsible kid and that I’m not the kind of person who goes out and parties all night. They know that if I come home at 1am, I probably spent that time watching Scrubs at a friends house and then got sleepy and drove home. They really have no reason to give me a curfew.</p>
<p>I have never done anything to make my parents suspicious ever. I am not really the partying type and they know all of my friend’s parents. I call them and update them and my weekend curfew remains at 9:30</p>
<p>Same here! I mean mine’s not 9:30… unless I leave at 1:30… but I’ve never even taken a sip of alcohol. I’ve never tried drugs, even though I easily could. I’ve never even actively spent time around that atmosphere. I’ve been nothing but a good child my entire life and yet my parents won’t let me leave my house for more than eight hours at a time. It just doesn’t even make sense.</p>
<p>I’m in the same position as ghuskies and iforgot: I don’t have a curfew because my parents know I don’t party, and so they trust me to be the good kid I am. But I don’t have a car or a license either, so unless a friend is willing to drive me home (unlikely) I either sleep over or just come home when my dad wants to drive me home… usually this means before 12.</p>
<p>My parents trust me, and my curfew is basically the state curfew of 1 a.m. on weekends. But I really think that if I needed to be out later for something, I’d be able to ask them, and it’d be all good. They trust me.</p>
<p>My parents start calling at around 11:00 or 12:00, but they usually trust me enough that they don’t bother me too much. Besides. I never sleep anyways =_=. But like some of the above, I don’t have a license or a car, so I really CAN’T do that much.</p>
<p>i’ve never had one. as long as i say where i’m going and/or who i’m with, they don’t care. i never get into trouble or go to places i really shouldn’t, and i carry id/money on me at all times so i’m never stuck. i got lucky. and i just turned 18 monday so now i really don’t have one.</p>
Hell at my school the curfew is 6 if there’s school the next day (unless you have an extracurricular activity on) and 9 if it’s the weekend.
The only time you can stay out after that is if you have an approve extracurricular activity which runs a little late or if you stay at a day student’s house.
This is sad :/</p>
