[QUOTE=Panda X;25751012]I'd rather go to the store and buy some for myself than dressing up asking others.[/QUOTE] It isn't about just getting sweets, It's about the fun of it.
[QUOTE=Violetta;25750162]It's just weird having a teen/adult knock on your door and ask you for candy.[/QUOTE] It's not weird, it's Halloween.
I'm not going this year, but next year when I'm 18 I will and that will be the last time I trick-or-treat.
People that are going around causing mayhem aren't going to stop just because of this. I see more of a risk in letting children go to strangers homes and ask for candy.
I just go out and throw eggs at random houses with my friends. If you are 13 or above and still go out guising, you are pretty sad.
Last year I walked around a rich neighborhood with my little sister drinking Four Locos aka Blackout juice apparently. Bastards didn't have any candy. :argh:
I'm 17. I enjoy getting free candy
I went last year even though I had some crazy sickness that caused me to shit everywhere.
lol @ captain :sax: Honestly I don't care. I stopped trick-or treating when I was like in 5th grade. And people are blowing it out of proportion anyway. "OH GOD THEIR TAKING AWAY OUT TEEN'S RIGHTS TO DRESS UP AND GET A MEDIOCRE AMOUNT OF CANDY ONE DAY OF THE YEAR." Go to the store the day after Halloween and get shit like 75% off, jesus.
The last time I went trick or treating I was like 12.
You're never too old for free candy.
What are they going to do? arrest people over 14 on the streets at night? Also, why do you have to ask permission to go trick or treat?
[QUOTE=Badunkadunk;25752512]Everyone who doesn't dress up for Halloween at my school is ostracized.[/QUOTE] We'll it's nice that they have costumes on standby for the uncostumed children but why would they choose ostrich costumes
My 14 year old friend goes trick or treating [editline]1st November 2010[/editline] He's autistic.
[QUOTE=Regorc's Chest;25764208]I've never been trick or treating. Always lived in the middle of nowhere and my parent say "It's and American thing".[/QUOTE] Thats strange, I know that in the uk there is loads of halloween stuff. I personally just go without coustume to look after my little sister, I wont deny it, getting sweets is great.
Don't see a reason to not let people trick or treat.
Halloween is not limited to age. It's a tradition that dates back a very long time where everyone would dress up as scary as possible to scare the undead back to..well..death. The candy part came in later I suppose. But for the most part it's a tradition that wards off the dead.
I went trick-or-treating last night, and I'm 15. Though, it's less for candy, and more for understanding how hard it is to move around in a gas mask in 50 degrees Fahrenheit at 6:00.
I was surprised people actually voted no, but then I remembered that most of Facepunch is anti-social.
I had more fun trickortreating last night than I ever have in my life. And I'm 15.
