Trick-or-treating above 13?

Question

I don't go trick or treating any more...but I wondered what you think about it when done by teenagers and young adults...

I know some people won't answer doors any more to give the young ones who try really hard to dress up anything, because loads of older people go out in their normal clothes and just a pair of bunny ears and expect sweets....

Do you think there's an age you should stop trickortreating?

Answer 1

Well it depends on the trick or treater, don't you think. I have no problem with a couple of adults who come yearly to my home. They are mentally retarded and function on about a 9 year old level. So there can be exceptions to every rule. I always dressed up when i took the kids out, but never expected treats.
I would say the cut off age for the average person should be 12.

Answer 2

Maybe I'm saying this because I trick-or-treated until about 15 or 16, but I think if someone (regardless of age but within reason) is in a proper costume s/he should be able to get treats. I mean, who doesn't want free candy? Granted, older trick-or-treats should know when to stop, because they ARE cutting into candy that should be for the younger ones, but hitting a house or two is fine with me. With that said, not one over 18 should do any trick-or-treating, that's just greedy. I mean, by the age of majority, if you really want candy, go buy it, it's on sale now and it'll be even cheaper on Wednesday.

Answer 3

16

Answer 4

Trick or Treating should stop at 15 but after that you should only have parties or take the little ones to go trick or treating.

Answer 5

I think that somewhere around 12 or 13 is the time to stop. I have a rule when giving out treats. If the kid has facial hair or boobs they don't get anything. I have actually told kids I thought they were too old.

Answer 6

except you're taking your niece or nephew or your guy or woman baby trick or treating then you are out of place going door to door and should no longer be doing that via your self. shop in mind which you're a grown up now and you do no longer prefer human beings to grant you candy, you could earn it your self. Adults (it relatively is once you attain the age of 18) often have events for adults in easy terms the place they do no longer bypass door to door yet they have video games like bob for an apple or they have prizes for many suitable costumes, human beings attempt to wager who one yet another is and there is nutrition and dancing, besides the undeniable fact that it relatively is all adults and is many times held on the domicile of one of their acquaintances or a place has been rented for one in each of those objective. confident, the south seems to be the "bible belt" and that i'm there too. many times the church itself is against Halloween because of the fact it has to do with perception interior the ineffective increasing and frightening human beings and that's a pagan holiday.

Answer 7

I think kids should quit going door-to-door trick or treating after jr. high (about 8th grade). After this age, have a party! -No underage drinking or drug use of course- If all your friends get together it can turn out to be a great costume party! Supply candy!!!!

Answer 8

Answer 10
