a curfew is a time that is given by the law or the judge. its against the law to not go by the time the law gives you. you have to stay in the house or a program after school. The curfew started in the 1890s because of immigration and now because they don't want juveniles to get in trouble. Some argue that probation is good so that people don't repeat crime. I feel that probation is wrong because you have to sit in the house with nothing to do. For instance, it keeps me from participating in the band and learning how to play the snare drums. These programs are good because they help me learn new things and they keep me active and in shape.

I never even considered the negative aspects of curfews before!
I didn'tknow curfews kept you from doing the things you love, like playing in the band and learning new things. That is terrible! Do they ever make exceptions?
