[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A curfew for a 20 yr old? You're kidding, right?[/quote]

Americans infantalise young adulthood.[/quote]

I completely agree. A 20 year old should be more than able to figure out how to respectfully live in her grandmothers home and to police herself. It is sad to see adults still so immature and irresponsible - not their fault, they haven't been given the opportunity to grow up, hence the stunted development. A parent show not be involved in arranging any of a 20 yr olds affairs. [/quote]

NP, here. You don't have a 20 year old do you? And 20 year olds in America have absolutely no structure in their lives, generally. They can get led down very dangerous paths of behavior without the maturity to judge what they are doing--in whatever "country" you are from, there is probably more or less an agreed to set of cultural and societal guidelines for living. In America, all bets are off--many year olds 20 aren't mature enough to handle the temptations and freedom of life yet. I think Americans are re-thinking all the "freedom" we give kids before they are 21--we need  to re-evaluate what kids can really rationally handle--because let's face it, when things go horribly wrong they come running to their parents. They ALL do, no matter how mature the law says they are.[/quote]
