Touché. BUT STILL. I'M FROM AMERICA AND WE'RE IN A RECESSION BUT PEOPLE STILL GIVE OUT CANDY AND I AM GOING TO GO TO EVERY HOUSE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT IS FREEEE.
I think it's childish, I get annoyed when I have teens knocking on the door and getting the candy. Most don't even have a costume. Some of them knock as late as 10pm crazy! I'm 20 myself and I hate it when they do that. I just think it's more for children up to the age of 13. I don't care if you don't agree, but most who said "No" are teens probably. Just to let you know, adults dislike you. Unless you are trick or treating with your youger sibling then it's okay.
I dunno where you are, but when I was a teen we always dressed up. People loved it and before the night would always be asking when we'd be by. We never went around that late and we did it straight through high school. We'd stay out late eating candy and whatnot, but we were pretty sensible. Even in my residence at university (I'm 20 as well, so no, not all adults dislike them) we did reverse trick-or-treating where we'd dress up and put candy in people's bags on their doors. So if you're just having fun there is no harm. It's not like you don't have enough candy anyway. It's much better than having kids go out getting drunk like someone suggested further up the page.
I'd rather save the candy for the little kids. It's a lot more fun for them. And most people really hate it when teenagers come up to their door on Halloween. Especially those little old ladies.
I only went trick-or-treating once as a teenager, and even though I had perfect manors and said thank you to everybody, and didn't knock on doors too late, I still felt kind of guilty about it. Because none of the people that I trick-or-treated from looked that happy that I was there, so I kind of felt like I was stealing their candy because they didn't intend to give candy to teenagers, just cute little kids. And I remember talking to my grandma last year about how she gets kind of scared when older kids come to her house to trick-or-treat.
Five reasons for teens to trick-or-treat:
1. Get to hang out with friends somewhere other than a boring Halloween party where nothing happens (or underage people get dunk, awesome)
2. Making the costume is the best part (espeically if it's a group costume with friends)
3. FREEEE CANDY!!
4. Romping around the neighborhood is actually kinda good exercise...
5. It's the only day of the year when sluts don't get judged (whores have souls, too!)
Woah, watch who 'YOU'RE' calling bitch, I don't slag off people I don't know without a good reason.
I don't know where you guys live, but everyone here is drinking when they turn 15-16. Sorry, it was just what I would call a normal suggestion from a Kiwi.
Sorry, my bad, human error with the grammar mistake, nazi.
WHO TURNS DOWN FUCKING FREE CANDY?!?!
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING BE A SHEET GHOST. D:
HELLZ YEAH! IT'S THE ONLY NIGHT OF THE YEAR YOU CAN RUN TO A HOUSE DEMANDING CANDY AND GUESS WHAT? YOU'LL GET SOME TOO.
I turn down candy if it's from a van. Other than that its legit.

(technically were not in recession anymore) But there are somethings that are economy proof, and it just so happens one is giving candy to kids.
NO!!!! LISTEN UP WE ARE STILL IN A RECESSION AND IT'S FUCKING HALLOWEEN. A NIGHT LIKE NO OTHER. YOU WILL GET FREE CANDY.

Well, I see your point. But the unemployment rate and stocks are still in bad shape. Our national debt is unbelievably high. WE WANT OUR CANDY.
Looks like somebody got rocks for Halloween...
It may be "childish," but it's damn fun.
It's called embracing your childhood.
STRANGERS HAVE THE BEST CANDY
"Pedobear has the best candy"
Fixed
YOUR ANONYMOUS PICTURE IS CHILDISH!
I don't know about y'all, but I enjoy dressing up and staying out late with my closest friends, asking people for free candy.
Would you prefer us to go to High School halloween parties and get high and wasted all night long?
Yeah I didn't think so.
People do both, you know.
Hey now. I always dress up. And you never get as much candy from parties as you do from trick-or-treating.
It is. But so what?
What if you go trick-or-treating for both UNICEF and the free candy?
yeah it may be childish to you but who cares what you think....FREE CANDY BABY!!!!!
FREE CANDY IS NEVERRRRRR CHILDISHHHHH :)

Well teenagers are too old to trick or treating, yet are too young to be treated as adults.
What else are we supposed to do?
This is a terrible post. I don't like it one bit.

Because free candy is childish.
I find it offensive...to think...candy is JUST for 5 year olds!?
If ANYONE needs a sugar rush, it's teenagers!
FREE CANDY FTW!

HALLOWEEN ROCKZ
What about the person who said ANY "trick or treating" is childish - especially when adults are involved (not on this thread though)?
They are people who arr kids at heart, even when they are old and grey. Let them be kids, too.
3 words: FREE FUCKING CANDY
I'm 15 and I'm dressing up and trick or treating! Cause I'm a Bad ass motherfucker!
Yeah, I agree it's childish... What's wrong with that?
People that said no: go back to MLIA.
Why dont you go back to MLIA.
Celebrating halloween by trick or treating when your over 15 is wrong an annoying.
Use it as an excuse to dress up and get drunk with friends, don't use it as an excuse to collect candy that was really bought for little kids.
Are you really condoning underage drinking? And telling us to "think about the CHILDREN!" at the same time?
Yes.
well you used the wrong "you're" so you obviously don't know what you're talking about.
What a whore, I bet you're 16 and you have been drinking for three years. Keep that kind of influence to yourself, bitch.
Woah, watch who 'YOU'RE' calling bitch, I don't slag off people I don't know without a good reason.
