| Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullah :-) Hmmm... I'll do it this way, inshaALlah. Primary School: 7-12 >> Straight home from school. Secondary School: 13-16 >> Before Maghrib. Unless there are parents approved activities, of which I gotta be home by 9pm. College and beyond: 17-20 >> What curfew? :D As long as I inform beforehand what time I'll be back... usually, latest is midnight. But sometimes, later than that. Uni: 21-24 >> What curfew? :D wasn't living with parents Older, working & living with parents >> What curfew? see answer when I was 17-20 |

| [color=Teal] [slm] The curfew depended on the friends. 8) When I was in middle school I had to be in by 9:00. In high school I did not have a curfew, but when I got home I had to knock on my parent's door and let them know that I was home. My mother was advised by friends that curfews are dangerous, because kids drive like maniacs to get home on time. :P [wlm] Marcie :-)[/color] |

| [slm] Curfew??? When I was small..ie up to age 11/12 I should have been in before it got dark in the summer and in the winter I should show up for dinner - around 7pm. I could go out again, to go to a friend's house, as long as I said where I was going and didn't just disappear. It never really happened that I was imposed with a curfew though. I was sensible enough I suppose, and if I went "missing" then they would find me in some neighbour's house. When I was a teenager I didn't have to be home by a specific time either, but it was a good idea to shout "I'm going out" before leaving the house and if I was staying over in a friend's house then I always called home first to let them know. I remember walking home on my own at about age 16/17 after midnight. Something that I wouldn't do today, considering how the crime rate has risen in my home town. So in answer to the question, I never had a curfew and Alhamdulillah I still survived. wasalaam eleanor :-* |

| [slm] I didn't ever really have any curfews hanging on me, but times which parents would rather have me back home for a peace of mind. 10-14: around 7pm....but longer in summer when playing football 15-17: before dark 18-21: anytime as long as they knew where I was and they approved. But having said I hardly ever stayed out late except when at the Uni library, friends house, movies or something boring like that. Where else is there to go at night? Older and with mom and dad: As above. |

| assalamu alaikum, i think most of you are lucky and should be really thankful for your awesome parents... it wasn't really a curfew that i had or still have, more of an understanding that i could not be out late (usually 9'ish pm) out alone without one of my brothers with me. with my parents, 'good' girls just come home early. wassalam |

| [slm] I personally don't believe in the curfew business. I think what SHOULD matter is where you are, who you're with, and what you're doing as opposed to the exact time and second that youre coming home. For instance, my parents would much rather me hang out at a friends house - (a sisters house - i should say) till past midnight or so, as opposed to saying, "be home by 9pm"... and until then, have absolutely no idea where i am...what im doing..and who im doing it with..... I think its important to instill a sense of trust between parents and children, and on top of that - a strong foundation of whats right and wrong... so that time isn't the issue - yet rather what you're doing with that time..... :) My two cents once again.... Jazaks for letting me spill 'em... fi aman illah, serenity... |
