    Nora Gold states that curfew laws take away some of the civil rights that teens and young adults have as Americans. Gold states in her essay, “The most obvious constitutional problem is that curfews grant police the power to detain citizens for nothing more than appearing young.” This quote is stating that curfew laws punish anyone who is out after a certain time just because they look young. This also gets in the way of teens who work night shifts for their job or even just being outside their house on the sidewalk (Gold, Nd). Another thing that curfew laws violate are some rights that the teens have from the first amendment, which are not allowing them to go to religious services and even meeting for school that take place at night (Gold,…

    It can also affect many school activities with having to start later and end sooner since the day ends faster. Teens shouldn’t be affect with these possibilities of not being in an activity because the later changes. There has been a non-scientific survey that has reported 50 percent of parent that have agree or are undecided with the new time changes and 60 percent of staff agreed with the change. I believe that parents think it’s right for their children to start later or earlier because of the evidence that they have been provided about their children academic improvement. Staff had worked in school with the children and they might also believe it is right because it can change their school education but they don’t understand that it can affect the different schools because it will not be the same times for all…

    Although having a nice quiet lunch sounds like a great idea; however, it is wrong to ban people for being a specific age. It is 12:00 in the afternoon and teens are starving, the few restaurants around them are gross and unhealthy, until they see Munchy’s. They read a sign on the door and it says that teens are not allowed from noon to 3 PM. Teenagers are known for being obnoxious; however, this does not cancel out the fact that there will be just as much noise coming from the adults, if not more. Saying that just the teenagers were loud and messy is wrong and offensive because it was not just the teenagers, the adults were also being loud.…
