Teenagers Today's Health Advisory Panel Answers: What do you think is a reasonable curfew for a 15-year-old girl? |

Question:
What do you think is a reasonable curfew for a 15-year-old girl?
Answer:
Almost impossible to answer without knowing the maturity of the girl. What I'd want to do is know what is going on with her, be it early or late. A curfew often sets up an arbitrary power struggle. Figure out what you need to know to believe she is safe and get her to help you decide the least intrusive but ironclad methods for making that happen.
