How much freedom do u think a 13 yr old girl should get?

Imo, 9 o’clock is too late for a 13 year old to be coming home. I dont think a 13 year old should be allowed to be picked up in cars by other kids, and at that age they should have adult chaperones when they go places. 13 is far from grown up.

I think they should be home by the time it starts to get dark, they should have adult go with them if they’re going to the movies or something and they shouldn’t be allowed to go out if they haven’t done their homework. They should also have a bed time…I’d say like 9:30 or 10:00 at the latest.

Alot of 13 year old girls think there alot more grown up then they actually are, 9clock is perfectly over the age i think for a 13 year old to be stayed out late.

I like that(: its not that I mean to take it to the extreme but I see a lot of girls doing this. The girls that r allowed to go anywhere r the best behavied and the 1s that neva leave the house wen they do they go crazy! Its like my puppy we don’t let him off his leash unless we’re home so he goes crazyyy wen we do nd doesn’t stop running around the house. But my old puppy culd wlk inside nd outside wen no1 was there nd he’d always come home wen we called his name(:

Thx 4 the opition.

Thx 4 the opition.

Ohh that’s a cool example btw :D and okies :>

well to be on honest, during the week it depends. but on weekends i think 9 or 10 is good. when i was 13 we stayed out that late on weekends, my parents were laid back and trusted us. but like i said during the week because of school is different. but weekends yeah 9 or 10 is good.

I agree with mandyloo. I wasn’t allowed at all to go out on schooldays when I was 13 and my parents had to meet my friends parents before I could stay over.

ok I read alot of strict answers that maybe back in the 80’s would have being applicable..the fact is now a days there are teen night clubs that let in 13 years old..not saying anything with that but just to let you know that your girl/boy is not a baby anymore..11 could be a curfew, if you know who she is with and where is, i dont think she should get picked up by on one only if your mother knows your friend her mom and have the confidence to..you should be allowed to go to your friend’s house..during the day or a sleepover maybe again your mother needs to have your friend’s mom phone number

13 is 13, that hasn’t changed from the 80’s till now. They are barely a teenager and shouldn’t be allowed free reign.

well i think you have to build a trust relationship with your parents therfor your parents will trust that you could like go to the mall go to a park friends houses partys and stuff like that but not like major stuff u know………………hope i helped…

but they need some freedom. that is why so many kids are so rebellious because they hated that their parents didnt trust them nor gave them freedom, so when they finally get freedom they do such stupid things. yes 11 is pushing it. but 7 or 8 at the latest is stupid. they should be allowed to stay out to 10 at the latest. parents need to be more trusting in their kids if they raised them right.

i think at that age parents must understand that she wants to learn life and stop choosing for her and make her chose and have mistakes to learn from but with guidance and patience because some mistakes can be very very bad. so supervising without control is the better way i guess ^_^

I agree with Irene. I don’t think 10 is an appropriate time for them to come home…in my opinion a 13 year old should be in bed by ten lol. If I had a kid, it wouldn’t matter how much I trusted her or not. I wouldn’t let her go out past 9pm when she was 13. Trust is part of it but it’s also thinking about what’s good for her. She needs sleep and such, and if she gets home at ten she’ll probably be getting to bed at around 11 or 11:30 and that’s too late in my opinion..

Yes, but freedom doesn’t mean that they stay out till 10 at night in weekdays, maybe weekends when they are visiting friends. I wasn’t allowed to go out at all at that age and never became rebellious. It depends on the parents and the child. At 13 they are still basically a child and need to be in bed early and have enough rest for school.

Why are kids rebellious now more than in the past if parents were stricter in the past? That doesnt make any sense. I agree with Irene. I wouldnt allow my kid to be roaming about at night.

Wait parents where not more strict b4? Were they? My parents told me that I they were aloud to no wat eva they wanted bcuz the world wasn’t such a bad place bad then.

My parents weren’t and neither were their cousins etc. In my country things used to be a lot more strict. Also in the past people overall were more strict.

Puppies aren’t mature so perhaps that’s not the best example. It just shows that once off the leash he couln’t control himself.

I think it depends on where you are and with who. School nights are totally different then weekends. If you stay after school for an event or go to a study group then that is fine however you should still be home early and it should have some supervision. I am not saying someone in constant contact but an adult who is available if needed. Weekends you should be able to have some fun going out at night but not nessarily every weekend. An adult should be involved in the trasportation to and from. I let my kids go out till midnight but I had to know where and talk to who ever was driving or in charge. If they lied then it was over.

option? lol

No not rlly. Bcuz she wuldnt be like that if we wulda given her the freedom from the start. I love puppies! :)

im 14 and id like more freedom so id say..as much as the 13 year old can handle
