Every year on Halloween night, children of all ages dress up in fancy costumes to go out and get free candy from the residents of their neighborhoods, hoping with all their hearts to come home with a full-sized candy bar.

Even though there is no designated law or rule saying when a person should stop trick or treating, there are opinions.

When is someone too old to go trick-or-treating? Twenty-seven percent of our staff believes that 14 years old is when teens need to stop trick or treating. Fourteen may sound reasonable, but Sharidan Kraljic, co-editor, thinks, “When a person can be tried for child pornography, it’s time to stop trick-or-treating.”

On Halloween night, a person may see many different age groups trick-or-treating, though the staff claims no one will be seeing any of them. More than 63 percent of the staff doesn’t go trick or treating anymore, but ironically, 58 percent thinks it’s still okay to go if a teen is respectful of the little ones around them.

Some parents believe teens should not be trick or treating because they take the fun out of it for the younger kids.

The staff is divided over the idea of giving candy to teenagers on Halloween.

“If they were respectful and allowed the little kids to go ahead of them I wouldn’t mind,” Hayley Allison, reporter, said.

Overall, Halloween is a holiday ‘just for kids’—although some staff members are having trouble letting go.
