Were You Too Old To Trick Or Treat This Year?
Squirrel! You are never too old to dress up and get candy.
Last Friday, kids and teens ran around neighborhoods trick or treating. Halloween is that magical day where kids can be kids. How old is too old for trick or treating? Did you see any teenagers running around this year? Is there a solid age where trick-or-treating should end?
“I’ve seen 50 year old trick-or-treating, so I don’t think so.” said freshman Zamilan Munkhjargal. According to freshman Kiyahna Adams “I think you should stop over the age of thirty. My mom should stop.” Another freshman, Kiana Flores, said, “100 years old!” Then, freshman Patrick McCoy said, “Whenever you feel like it. Whatever your mental development is. One is never too old for anything.” Also, freshman Emma Monroe has an excuse to be trick or treating; she said, “21…[if you’re] watching your brother or sister.”
It seems like there is no way that anyone would want to stop trick or treating. There only seems to be really good reasons to keep on celebrating Halloween. “Yeah, it’s about keeping your family safe from evil demons. Just kidding, it’s all about the candy” said freshman Zamilan Munkhjargal. “Ummm, for Halloween, I love when the bucket says take two candies, then, you take a handful” said Kiyahna Adams. Freshman Azalea Johannes said, “yeah, I like Halloween…dressing up and getting candy.”
So, you aren’t too old to be celebrating Halloween. Like, you can’t grow out of candy, dressing up, and fun.

I don’t really care about the candy (although I won’t turn it down if offered). What I really care about are the costumes. It’s cool to see everyone dressed up as a character they like or created, but I find it tricky if not an outright struggle to find a good costume now. Maybe next year.

I personally am too lazy to go out and walk around asking for candy, after awhile trick or treating gets boring. Leave the candy for the children!!

Listen people! We’re running low on candy, people are beginning to to drop out of participating in handing out candy each year. Let there be enough for the kids! Our time has passed, stop ruining the fun for them!

Everyone loves candy, so if you can get away with then do it!

If you INSIST you need to trick or treat you better have a super good costume. Don’t just show up in your regular clothes!

I didn’t go trick or treating this year. Some of my friends dressed up but not many of them did. In my opinion, its never too late to give out candy. It may sound boring but its actually fun if you invite your friends over and have them help you. A personal reason for why I didn’t go trick or treating was because the costumes were waaay too short. If I were to bend over, you would be able to see everything. So I avoided that and just gave out candy to kids in my neighborhood and stayed home.

I did not go trick or treating this year but I am sure that it would have been lots of fun.

I agree, you can’t grow out of Disney movies either!

I certainly went trick or treating this year! I’ll keep trick-or-treating until I die!

I think you should stop trick or treating whenever you want, I don’t remember there being an age limit? I personally didn’t go trick or treating this year, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be going next year.

In my opinion, after you hit 13, you’re too old for it. Grow up and stop ruining the fun for the actual children.

I definitely think high school students are too old to trick or treat. I stopped after the 6th grade. My mentality is if you are old enough to buy your own candy then you are old enough to stop trick or treating.
