I believe that there should be no curfew laws for teenagers. The setting of a curfew should be up to the teenager themselves and their parents. I believe this mainly because an enforced curfew law would simply result in more teenagers getting in trouble with the law.

Most teenagers aren’t responsible enough to come home early enough to get homework done and get enough sleep.
