Trick-or-Treat! Every year, children of all ages go knocking door to door asking for candy. On trick-or-treat their buckets will be filled up with different types of candy.

What age do people really stop trick-or-treating? Many go until they are 18-years-old, but others go until they are 13-years-old and stop because they think they are too old to go still. Most people think trick-treating is a kids-only fun Halloween activity to do, but that’s not the case with other people. 

Many people have an opinion on teenagers and people that are 18-years-old and younger can go. People are still kids at 17, but people become adults at 18-years-old. If it is a Halloween activity for kids, then all teenagers should be able to go who are under 18-years-old. 

Some parents think their kids should stop going at younger ages because they are too old, but that’s not true. Anyone should be able to go trick-or-treating because it’s something fun to do. It opens up the community to fun that night, and gives people the chance to be able to give people candy and let them dress up. 

Everyone has a kid inside telling him or her to go have fun and go trick-or-treating. Most little kids are excited when it comes to Halloween because they get to dress up and receive candy. 

It is a great way to spend time with family or friends because some people do matching family costumes and friends costumes. trick-or-treat is a good way to have lots of fun.

There should be no age limit to going trick-or-treating. As long as all of the teenagers and older kids follow all of the rules and keep it all safe, then there should be no age limit. Teenagers should still be able to enjoy the fun experience with their friends. 

There are rules everyone knows on trick-or-treat night. Most are simple: stay safe, being fair, only going to the house once and don’t steal candy from anyone. Many people do follow those simple rules, so there should be no reason why there should be an age limit for trick-or-treating. 

But sometimes there are those people who don’t follow the rules. They will go to the same house many times to get more candy. Some will wear inappropriate costumes for the night little kids shouldn’t really see. Many will steal candy from other people, and many teenagers will take the whole bowl of candy on someone’s porch when it says only take a piece because they think no one will know, but it is just rude and unfair to the little kids. 

Those teenagers who do all of that are just being rude to the rest of the kids who are deciding to go trick-or-treat. They would be the reason why people think there should be an age limit. Many people think there should be an age limit because of certain people and it does make sense. Older people and older teenagers shouldn’t be able to go because they will ruin the experience for all of the other kids who are going. 

Most older kids will go to just get candy, but they won’t even dress up or follow the rules. The oldest person who should go trick-or-treating  is 13 or 14 year-olds. Plus some might be a little too old because that is where teenagers become less respectful and will do stupid things thinking it’s fun when in reality it’s just wrong and disrespectful to others. 

There are many teenagers who are super responsible and do follow the rules. Many kids are more responsible when going out to do fun things. An age limit would be silly if everyone who goes trick-or-treating follows the rules and does everything right and has fun that night. 

Many high school students are going trick-or-treating this year, either with their friends or even with a little sibling. Sometimes older kids are taking their little sister or brother trick-or-treating, so they should be able to dress up and get candy too. It is fun for both of them. It is a great bonding time to bond with family or friends, and it should be something fun to look forward to when October comes around each year. 

There should be no age limit to such a fun activity for people. Anyone should be able to do it as long as they are safe and responsible during it. Everyone should have a chance to be a kid again and have a good night trick-or-treating.
