Should teenagers have bedtimes?

Moms of teenage girls, specifically 16!! Do you give your child a bedtime still? Do you let them keep there phone all night or turn it in?

I made mine give theirs to me at 10 pm but it was up to them when to go to bed

My girls are almost 20 now, my son is 14. I gave all 3 the same rule and my 9 year old will get it also when she gets a little older.

When I don’t have to wake them up in the morning anymore, they can determine their own bed time.

When they can get themselves up, ready and out the door on time for school, they can go to bed when they’re ready. I also don’t take anything away. My son, sometimes he goes to bed at 8pm. Other times he stays up until midnight playing xBox, scrolling TikTok or watching YouTube. But he still gets up every morning at 5am, showers, gets ready and makes his bus for school. So I leave him alone.

I was a senior in high school with a lights out, TV off, no phone at 10pm policy and I absolutely hated it!

Everyone is in their bedroom by 10pm. However, we allow them to have TV and they keep their phones. They are good kids and all have good grades so unless we have reason to take away those things at night, we don’t. We have 3 in High School (17, 16 & 15)
