Imposing curfew

2. Nowadays, many teenagers are going to parties, drinking alcoholic drinks and staying
outdoors late at night. Many of these teenagers got into fights and commit crimes thus, wasting
their youthfulness. In response to this pressing problem, the government imposed curfew.
Curfews will give the children and parents more quality time to spend with each other.
Teenagers can better focus on their studies rather than have drinking sprees with friends at night.
3. Everybody should follow the curfew because it was imposed for the good of everybody. It
was not made to violate the rights of the youth for happiness. It was solely made for the purpose
of protecting them. Partying at night and going out with friends at night will only give negative
effects to a teenagers’ life physically, mentally and spiritually.
