If you give a teen a curfew, it might keep them out of trouble but they could then start breaking the curfew. If they follow the curfew, then your teen will stay out of trouble, but if they don't, well try not to imagine the worst possibilities. Teens follow peer pressure and claim it is their heart talking, when it is not their heart speaking. Most of the time, a teen will follow the example set by the bad kids in school because those kids are supposedly "cool" when they are just mean and bad influences. Try to keep your teen away from bad influences as much as possible, especially if your teen is a girl cause she might come home one day with a round belly, but it can be avoided if the teen has a set curfew and if you make sure they obey it. An example of a time is: 8:30 pm. If your teen is home by 8:30, then things like drugs, pregnancy, etc. can be prevented form happening to your teenager. There is your article.
