School year curfew, for a seventeen year old senior?

Question

I'm seventeen, I'll be eighteen in April, and I'm going into my senior year. My current summer curfew is midnight. I'm a pretty good kid, I'm honest with my parents, and haven't given them any reason to not trust me. I live in a small-ish town, but I can always find something to do. I am usually at friends houses, and most of them are older 18-20 and don't have any curfew. I've always been home on time, and the one time I was late, it was only by seven min., and I totally owned up to it.

Anyways, my mom actually told me to come on here and ask, so yeah thats what I'm doing.

So, what do you would be a good school year curfew?

And should I still have a curfew once I turn eighteen?

Answer 1

I think a curfew of midnight for  a 17 year old is more than fair.  When I was 17, I had to be home by 11.  Actually, I had a curfew until I graduated High School.  (I was 19 when I graduated).   It was more important to my parents that I finish school than get to stay out as late as my buddies.  

Answer 2

if your a good kid 12 am doesn't seem that bad if your home work is done  

Answer 3

2 am, no curfew at 18.  

Answer 4

school year i say 10 is acceptable

secondary q: if your living at home, yes... unless you have a nightshift job of course

Answer 5

4AM

=)

Answer 6

id say maybe one is good if you stick with it and not ever ever ever be late haha

maybe 10:30- 11 on school nights, but one on weekends. i think anyways, id say no curfew when youre 18 but if youre staying at home maybe one or so unless you give a reason to be later. ha, trying to help you but being honest at the same time.

*oh and youre really gorgeous btw!

Answer 7

on a school night- 10:30

weekend- 12:30

you should have a curfew until you're out of high school

Answer 8

I'm so amazed your mom would actually suggest that you ask about your curfew here! Is she really going to let our answers influence her decision? That's kinda awesome......

Nehoo....

I personally don't think that srs in hs should even have a curfew if they've proven themselves to be level-headed & responsible. Next yr we can do whatever we want - there is no curfew in college - and so it makes more sense to phase it out senior yr so you can develop more self-responsibility. I tend to do my best when I'm trusted to make a good decision, so if I didn't have a curfew I'd still come home at a decent hour most nights. My parents don't care about that logic, though & they soooo wouldn't be won over by anything on Y!A. My curfew is at 10:30 during the week during the school yr & 1 on the weekends. It used to be midnight, but I just got a raise. : ) Most of my friends don't have a curfew anymore.......

Good luck!!!!!

Oh, you definitely should not have a curfew after 18! If you're still living at home then you should be respectful & not crash in at 4 in the morning or anything, but you shouldn't have a curfew.

Answer 9

it depends on you. you sound like my younger sister and she never had a curfew but was almost always home by midnight anyway. i, on the other hand was a total hellion and had different curfews. i think mine got raised to midnight when i turned 17 and on school nights i had to be home by 10:30 unless i was working, but then i still usually was done by 10:30.  once i turned 18 i had no curfew and would spend days away from home at a time.  

Answer 10

2:00 a.m.

help the girl out!!!

Answer 11

11:30 pm - weeknights

12:30am- weekends

Answer 12

I think it's midnight... so you better make it my place before then... cuz d@mn!!! your fine as h**l!

Answer 13

For the school year - if you go out once during the week, curfew at 11. For going out Friday or Saturday, midnight.

Once you're 18 and still living at home, of course you still need to have a curfew. No curfew is for when you are independent, living on your own and paying your own way in life.

Tell your mom I'm concerned that you're hanging with 20 year olds. I wouldn't allow it.
