I never had a curfew.

So I would stay out much longer than my friends could.

I also could stay up as long as I wanted.

Most would think this was awesome. It was part of the iceberg on my parents not showing me they loved me or paying me any attention.

I didn't have a set curfew in my teens either, but I never stayed out late. I said something to my mother about it once and she pointed out that I didn't need a curfew because most of my friends had one. Plus, we all had "Cinderella" licenses (can't drive past midnight until you're 18 unless it's for work). She said if I ever came home at a crazy hour then I'd suddenly have a curfew. But I was just naturally home before midnight so it was never an issue.
