Halloween is the one time during the year when people of all ages can dress up in costumes and eat pile after pile of candy. It is especially an enjoyable time for children to go from house to house and trick-or-treat. Yet, as the children turn into teenagers, is it still acceptable to go trick-or-treating?

Many high school students look forward to Halloween and a night filled with candy, pranks, and trick-or-treating. Many often wonder if they are too old to go from door to door and ask for candy.

Some adults might not feel comfortable when nearly grown teens ring their doorbell dressed up in costumes holding out bags to be filled with sweets.

“A lot of teenagers are full grown people, so it is a little intimidating having adults come up asking for candy,” senior Shelby Smiley said.

Most students are planning on taking advantage of what little time they have left in high school to enjoy the holiday.

“I am absolutely going trick-or-treating,” sophomore Heather Romasko said.

The best part of the whole night is chilling out after a long night of walking and sorting through all of the candy.

“At the end, you dump out all of the candy and trade what you don’t like for the good candy,” sophomore Catherine Witt said.

Lewis-Palmer students are definitely looking forward to going trick-or-treating on Halloween night.
