Teens can remember trick-or-treating on Halloween as long as forever, as it is a big part of many peoples childhood. But how do adults and teenagers celebrate it? 

“You are never too old to trick-or-treat,” said Junior, Nikkee Graham. 

How do people who think there’s an age limit to trick or treating celebrate without the nostalgia and satisfaction of buying bags of candy instead of having a pillow sack filled with candy after trick-or-treating?

We can’t forget about the thrill of watching nail-biting, horrifying movies.  But what could really be more thrilling than spending hours collecting endless amounts of candy outside on a cold October night, and the coordinating costumes with your friends? If there is no age limit, why wouldn’t there be a reason to not go trick-or-treat? 

“My favorite halloween was when I dressed up as Cinderella,” said Junior, Kiya Goeckers. “The puffy blue dress, the ballet bun. It was probably my favorite costume I ever had.” 

As a child, there was no better feeling than embodying the very characters you looked up to.

Even though some students and adults could disagree, no one is stopping someone else from dressing up to trick-or-treat. 

“My parents don’t care if I go trick or treating at this age,” said Junior, Kiya Goeckers. 

Some parents would have a contradicting opinion to Goeckers statement.  Do parents really have control over their child’s choice of going trick-or-treating, or not?

“I think I am too old, it kind of depends on the situation but it doesn’t feel the same from when I was a kid,” said Junior, Donevin Garcia-Unpinco.

Leaving the memories behind and to live in the past instead of reliving our childhood is a part of growing-up. Reminiscing is almost better than trying to relive a moment that will never be the same.
