Are teenagers allowed out?!

Came home from a long shift tonight and teenager is out.
DH forgot it was lockdown, DS claimed you're allowed to meet with one person, and I said nay.

Maybe DS will meet with one person, but will that one person only meet with him?

And can I trust DS to meet with one person for a month? Probably not.

I assumed the blanket rule would be, go to school, come home and stay in.

His argument is, is that the friends he meets are the friends he's with at school.

I argued the bubble thing and that didn't make sense either.

How is everyone else handling the teenage/freedom thing??

My teens aren’t challenging anything to be honest. They are currently seeing their friends at school. However, if schools were closed then seeing one friend for a dog walk or whatever would be important. At the moment it’s not.

DS doesn't seem bothered but then he's still going to college so able to see friends there. If he wanted to go out I'd tell him he's restricted to seeing one friend and they need to go for a walk somewhere /bike ride
