I was just texting my best friend when she asked me what I'd be doing for Halloween night. Since it is usually snowing or raining on Halloween night and considering my condition, I told her that I would probably just be watching horror movies all night. She told me that a bunch of our old friends (friends that I don't consider as friends now) are going to go out trick or treating and she turned them down. The group of friends that are going out that night to ask for candy are older than me, being ages between 22-26.

I thought that was way too old and they should grow up and start to celebrate Halloween the way adults do (going to parties, going to a haunted house, going to horror movies, etc) and leave the begging for treats for the kids.

I don't have a problem with trick or treating when kids are in high school. I don't care if they do it when they're 19 but I think that when you are thru with your teen years, that you should leave the kids to celebrate their Halloween.

So what do you guys think is the appropriate age to not trick or treat anymore? Do you think the group of friends are being immature? Or do you not mind them?

Happy Halloween! :evil:

Yes, of course I can see them being in their 20s and going trick or treating with their sons, daughters or younger brothers and sisters to help mom and dad with.

 

[Irukapooka]

No, they aren't going trick or treating for drugs and crap like other people our age would do...they are actually going to go door to door to get candy. Freaking Candy.

 

[Irukapooka]

Okay that is freaky oO... only possible in USA....

Well they are still in the jr. high mindset. That's why they're being immature and acting like children to go to ppl's houses for candy.

I think it's somewhat amusing that only one poster has answered my question.

You bring up a really good point Warptera. Last time I went trick or treating I was either 14 or 15 and I had some of the houses I went to got so upset with me. They would yell and slam the door in my face. I think that was a bit too much. I wasn't even able to drive a car. Since I couldn't get drunk or go anywhere or purchase any good R movies, I thought trick or treating was okay. Obviously it wasn't. I'm just hoping that this group doesn't come up to my door. *groans*

The only reason why they have contacted me is to know what I was sick of and when I told them that I did not want to tell them, they left. They only see me to check up on me and to see for themselves if I'm really sick or if I'm just faking it for attention (yes they have admitted that to me before and even asked for my medical records so they could check to see how sick I really am...)

I've already slammed the door in their faces before and I definitely would do it this year if they came to my house asking for candy. So not only will they be left out in the snow and rain, but they will also be candy-less. Lol.

Rebel: That's different then having a group of adults going door to door begging for candy. Going to bars and begging for candy are two different things.

 

[Irukapooka]

That is why I don't consider them friends anymore. The nice thing about being so sick is that you get to see who your real friends are. But anyways, back on topic...

As I was saying earlier, if you go to a bar and hang out and go bar hopping for candy, that is fine. It's MEANT for adults. Trick or treating in the burbs is MEANT for the kids. I say, let the kids do their thing and grow up and do your thing. Besides, I think bar hopping for candy would be a lot more fun because you wouldn't have to walk all the way in the dark and they serve alcohol. Lol.

(and if some of your old-friends that are doing this are guys, then that's pretty messed up)

Yep. They are. At least three guys will be in that group and their about 24 or so.
