I am lobbying to change the "Curfews" in Philadelphia that mayor Nutter has given. I know that there are many kids all around who don't support Mayor Nutter's opinion inn the curfews. I know that he did it for a good cause it's to avoid and try to protect teenagers from "Flash mobs." The issue that I want to change is the curfews rules. I think it would be better if Mayor Nutter had the ages vary and have the times vary based on age. Mayor Nutter has minors going inside at 9:00 on weekends. WHat if some kids have to work? What then? Not everybody agrees with the situation at hand. His main reason was because of "Flash Mobs" no? Was it a bad thing what he did? I say yes but it was for a good cause but several of the "flash mobs" have not been solved, this situation might have gotten worse.
I think that this change will be able to help elders witness and be able to see how much responsibility and leadership teenagers have. I am interested in this topic because there has been so much change in our generation and I think that one of the changes is the maturity rate in teens over the years. There is an article about a teen mom asking a question about how she knows if her teen is able to make their own decisions especially when it comes to curfews.
I believe that the main supporters are minors who must be inside their home at 9:00. There are teens who feel as if they don't get to express themselves they need a voice, they need someone to speak for them someone who is in support of them. The main opponent is Mayor Nutter because he is fully against minors being out past 9:00 on weekends. His view on it I believe is protectiveness but if he gave teenagers a bit more freedom teens will be able to show how responsible they are. It is also that fact that teens need freedom in order to develop although teens maturity rate levels vary depending on the teens.
I would love to here teens opinions. "Freedom of speech" they have the right to speak what is on their mind they have to opportunity to be heard. it seems as though teens aren't stepping up to plate and letting others hear them out.
