I was never allowed to go out in high school until I was in my last year. Even then, I had to tell my parents exactly where I was going, call them when I got there, and be home at a specific not-to-late time. When I went away for university, the weekends/summers that I was home, I had a curfew of midnight. If I wasn't going to be home by then, I'd have to call and let my parents know and then one of them would stay up until I came home, which was their guilt tactic to get me home earlier. This went on until I moved out at age 26! Seriously!

My curfew was 11:30 in high school (mainly senior year). When I went to college (only 30 min away) and came home on the weekends, they tried to keep enforcing it, but by the time I was 20 or so, they just gave up. I always called them if I knew I was going to be out super late though.

Never had a curfew. My parents viewed it as more of a hassle to enforce. Plus, most of my friends had curfews so I would just go home whenever they had to be home. My parents also really trusted me. They always told me that I had their trust until I gave them a reason to not trust me and then it would be incredibly difficult to gain back.

I didn't have a curfew, but if I was out past 9pm, my mom would start calling me!!
-
I moved back home a couple times between the ages of 25-29. I loved being home, but my mom would drive me a little crazy.

High school: 10pm
College (when I was at home for breaks): 10:30pmMy parents did not protest when I announced I'd be living in my own apartment just 30 min away from them after I graduated. They even came with me apartment hunting. I think they were exhausted from watching over me so closely all those years!!!

I never had a curfew in high school because I was a loser and I never went anywhere, haha! Well really it was that I was rowing every morning at 5:30, even on the weekends, so I went to bed early.
When I lived there and was in university I didn't have a curfew, but they needed to know where I was, and expected me to call and let them know when I would be home if it was going to be super late.
-
After 10pm my mom would page me like a crazy woman. I used to turn my pager off because it would be beeping all night long! Good thing we didn't have cell phones back then.
-
My parents didn't let me go out at all in high school. During the college years they lightened up a tad but I still had to check in and be home at a reasonable time. This continued until I got married at 24 haha.
-
My older bro had a curfew but I never had one! My parents just always wanted to be informed of the 5 Ws...who, what, where, when and why!
-
I had one in high school, but I didn't follow it. My parents didn't care as long as they knew where I was. In college there was no curfew.
-
When I was in high school I had to be home by ten on the week nights and midnight on the weekends. When I started college I didn't have a curfew at all.
-
Nothing was ever stated but I did get in trouble for staying out too late.
-
I think my curfew was 10 back in high school... though really it was whenever my parents wanted me home, usually earlier than that, lol. Whenever i was back home from college it eventually made its way up to 12. My sister, who is 24, is still at home and still has curfew at 12 haha.
-
6:30 PM. I am not kidding.
BUT If I asked permission I could go back out after dinner. Of course I didn't figure this out for a very long time, and by the time it was after dinner (8PM)--no one wanted to go out with me--or their curfews were up.
-
@pastemoo: Wow - I thought mine was bad at 8:30pm all the way through high school.
-
No because I wasnt allowed to really go anywhere! But when I did have something going on I was home by 12.
-
10PM in HS and then 12AM in college when home on breaks. This seems like a lifetime ago!!
-
School Nights I had to be home at 10:30, weekends I had to be home at 1-1:30. Senior year I didn't really have a curfew, or if I did I never followed it as I was very rebellious at the time and most of my friends were in college so I was hanging out with them.
My parents became a lot more lenant when I stopped lying to them and was honest about what I was doing, and they trusted me not to drive if I had been drinking.
-
My curfew was midnight on the weekends once I could start driving. I think it was 9 on weeknights.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: Yeah-- and I was on the school gymnastics team, so sometimes I had to call if practice ran late!
-
OMG my curfew was 7pm and I think senior year it went to 8pm.
The result of VERY strict Chinese brothers and living in NYC!
-
I think it was 11:00 or so during high school (on the weekends). When I came home from college for summers and whatnot, I didn't have a curfew.

@regberadaisy: Your curfew came from your BROTHERS?
