Dear Diary,
I do not agree with the rule that I must be home before dinner time every day. This is because the rule affects my social life. It takes away important opportunities for me to spend time with friends. As a result, my life is quite uninteresting sometimes. I think I should be allowed to have dinner with my friends once in a while.
For example, I would like to hang out with my classmates until after dinner on some Fridays. I wish my parents will allow me to do this if I promise not to stay out too late and if there is no important family activity on those days.
