Introduction
  • Thesis statement
  • There should not be curfew. 
  • Explain curfew and slit view of what curfew seems in real life.
 
Para 1
  • Lack of maturity as being treated like children do not help in making own decisions.
  • Since being a child, we were being told to do things from an early age. 
  • This only creates a mindset of where things are decided for us. For us, let us be a better version on ourselves.
 
Para 2
  • Stressful life
  • In the morning we spend at school and do assignments and then at night we have to spend in our room 
  • Can't enjoy things more
  • Students are being forced to be in a single place in certain hours
 
Para 3
  • Curfew's are autocratic
  • There will no mutual respect of trust when you implement curfews.
  • Not all parents are as talkative and concerned about their children, when this happens, the student will lack the ability to socialise and negotiate with others.
 
Para 4
  • Freedom 
  • Miss out events and important celebrations 
  • Merdeka Run
  • Will not be able to follow up with current events
 
Conclusion
  • Emphasize that students disagree on curfew
  • We are not children, being teenagers, we should be allowed to live our own lives.
  • In fact, 18 yrs can already vote - Syed Saddiq
  • A life where we shape our own days, lead to a life where we can maximize our potentials.

Yes

-  To avoid unpleasant event such as sexual harassment, robbery, abduction  etc.  When there is no curfew, teenagers tend to go out at night and they will be prone to crimes. Without any experience, they can easily be victimized.

  - Teenagers tend to  'wild-free'  like
drunk driving, shoplifting, illegal driving(under age driving),  vandalism. At this age, teenagers are learning new stuffs and they can be easily misled to bad activities. So, if there are no curfew, it is easier for them to be exposed with drugs, alcohol and etc.

- Causes public disturbance, 
   Teenagers tend to hang out with friends such as party etc. Causes loud noises and disturbs peace and personal space of the neighborhood.  Most of the time, the police are blamed for such events for not patrolling the area

- Reduces parental distress. Parents will have the certainty that their child will be home by night time. They will worry less about their children's' safety and well-being. Less stress = Longer life

- Ensures sufficient amount of sleep. Enough sleep is vital for emotional growth which relates to increase in brain activity, ie creativity according to Harvard. 
-"If you're trying to meet a deadline, you're willing to sacrifice sleep but it's severe and reoccurring sleep deprivation that clearly impairs learning", quote from Dr Rapoport.

- Bring structure into ones life therefore increases EQ It will enable them to set boundaries in life, have a sense of responsibility and discipline. 
-]]> 2018-09-21 04:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/23_05_2017/wish/284218297 Teacher's Perspective https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/23_05_2017/wish/284218325 We are with the idea of having curfews for people under the age of 18.

-> Rest
- A school routine has been carefully scheduled for the holistic growth of students. Sufficient rest is needed to ensure that they'll be productive in school the next day. Science has proven that you need at least 8 hours of sleep a day.
- Part time jobs after school hours. Some students take it upon themselves to be financially stable and end up taking jobs after school hours, further disrupting their chance to rest.


-> Character Development
- Students would tend to develop their personality during their schooling years and it is essential that they are exposed to the right people- in this case bring them closer to their parents. Curfews limit students' time outside of school thus

-> Safety
- Prevents a child from being involved in crime. Children who do things recklessly and without thinking of the consequences end up being involved in crime in one way or another, either as a victim or as the perpetrator.
- Peer pressure. Some teenagers who try out new things like drugs or alcohol would typically bring their friends into it, thus endangering the school community as a whole.

-> Homework, assignments. etc.
