Too Old for Trick or Treat or not?
With Halloween finally here, students were asked the age old question, “Do you think High School Students are too old for Trick or Treating?” Most of the students seemed to take the opinion that there is nothing wrong with dressing up and getting free candy and participating in the door-to-door tradition. But some students say that high school students are better off leaving the candy for the younger children.
Yes, Stop Trick or Treating
- “Yes, because you’re taking away the candy that should be for the little kids.” Clay Aull, freshman
- “Yes, because I think it’s rude for older people to ask for candy. It’s OK to dress up, but not walk around asking for candy.” Kiley Cosby, sophomore
- “Yes, because there is more important things to do than trick or treating. And if you do, then you should donate the candy.” Jason Fanelli, junior.
- “Kids have more important things to be doing. People don’t appreciate seeing high schoolers instead of cute children.” Tyler Golbus, sophomore
- “Yes, because it’s weird to once you get to a certain age. Imagine your mom trick or treating.” Jocelyn Street, Senior
No, We Can Still Go
- “No, high school is not too old to trick or treat because everyone loves candy and everyone should have the opportunity to get candy.” Amanda Baker, sophomore
- “No, because even when you get older you still should have a chance to embrace your inner child. I don’t participate in it but I think that it’s fine if other people do.” Maya Brown, sophomore
- “No, it’s not too old. Free candy. Where does it state in the laws that you can’t’ go trick or treating in high school.” Drew Caldwell, sophomore
- “No, this year I’m going to be a nerd. I love Halloween!” Morgan Grooms, freshman
- “No,because there’s no definite age to start or stop, it’s a holiday that’s fun for everyone and who doesn’t love free candy!” Austin Settles, junior.
- “I think there shouldn’t be a stereotype of being too old or too cool for trick or treating because it’s supposed to be a time for the community to come together and. I’m not participating in trick or treating tonight, but I was a cow on Saturday.” Sidney Smith, sophomore
