14 years old... 8:30pm bedtime!

Asked by youcancallmejess (Online now) 17 days ago, 11 answers.

Ughh... I am 14 and a half and I get sent to bed at 8:30pm every night... and I hate it...
Most of the the people in my year are up until at least 10 or half 10, and loads of them go out until like 3am in the morning!!!

I don't want to do that... I...

just wish I didn't have to go to bed so early!!!
I have to go to bed at the same time as my two sisters who are 10 and 11.. =S
Its embarassing...

Does anyone think thats just a litttle early???

All I would be doing is homework... which I never finish on the night because I don't have enough time...

What do you think???

I really think you should reason with your parents. I'm 13 and I stay up till 11, but only in my room.. my parents don't know! Tell them that you are old enough to stay up later but don't want to stay up too late.. maybe 10 or half 10? It made me sick when I was in Year 6, and my bedtime was 8:30 and all my friends went to bed at 11.. lol. So yeah.. I think your parents are being a tad silly - you're nearly 15 and go to bed at half eight? Really, talk to them - its not your fault!!

Ya it's way too early...

But I got a 14 year old friend and her parents force her to go to bed at 9pm except for on weekends... she likes it thought because she gets her full sleep time.

That is a little early for a 14 year old.

A teenager needs 8 hours of sleep at night, so even if you got up as early as 6 am, you'd need to be in bed no earlier than 10 pm the night before.

Make sure your parents understand that getting too much sleep can cause just as many problems as not getting enough.

Your parents want their private time to themselves... that's why you go to bed so early lol
Or possibly, if you share your room with your siblings, your parents might not want you to go in to bed later than them, because they fear you might wake your younger siblings up when you go to bed or keep them up if you stay awake in your room.
