Teens Too Old to Trick or Treat?


With Halloween right around the corner, most people are expecting to see kids come to their house dressed up and requesting some sweets, but what about teens? According to Autumn Zuk (16), “I try to get out for at least an hour every year if not for the fun of it, I’ll usually bring one of my sisters”. So with at least one teen out there is coming 31st, why even go? According to Brenda Muthoni, it’s all about “Dressing up in costumes and getting candy from strangers and hanging out with your friends”. Brenda also disagrees that teens are too old for trick or treating.

What teens seem to have in common with most kids is that Halloween is as much about getting in the spirit of the day and dressing up as it is about collecting candy. Like to many people, Halloween becomes pointless “If you go in regular clothing and do it just for the candy” is Brenda’s opinion.

It seems fairly safe to say whether you go out there this coming 31st with younger ones or with people your age you’re never too old for this night of costumes and cavities. What counts is that you just have fun yourself, grab some people to go with and don’t forget your costume!
