You hear people say “I’ll trick-or-treat forever,” but at a certain age there is a time to draw the line. This age limit, however, has been disputed for generations. So now it’s time to get an estimate on when you should call trick-or-treating quits.

Around the ages of 2 and 15 is when most adults think it’s acceptable to go out and trick-or-treat and still ask for candy without being judged. So if you’re one of the older kids who’s got a baby face, consider yourself lucky around this time of year. Although, if you are older than this age and you’re still asking for candy, maybe it’s time you stop.

“I still dress up and have fun but I don’t ask for candy,” Advanced Algebra Teacher Amanda Smith said. “I just do it because my kids enjoy seeing me act like a fool.”

All adults can agree that if you want candy for yourself, maybe dig out some money from your budget to satisfy your cravings.

“Adults should be there to look out for their children’s safety, not to collect free candy,” english teacher Isaac Millstein said. “I think that if adults want candy, they can go to the store and buy some or raid the candy they have to give out.”

Now, when asking teenagers, the age limit is more all over the place. Some of them agreed trick-or-treating is mostly just for kids, and that you’re kinda weird if you still ask for candy.

“I would say the cut off age for trick-or-treating would probably be middle school,” junior David Vizcaino said. “Maybe freshmen year.”

Other’s think that the cut off age should probably be around the time you enter college.

“I don’t really think there’s a cut off age to go trick-or-treating,” senior Lauren Washington said.  “It’s fun, I’m probably going to be trick-or-treating this year too and I’m eighteen.”

So if you are one of the older people who want to go trick-or-treating without a child or just so happen to look like you’re way too old for your age, it may be time you switch from trick-or-treating to going to a halloween party, watching a scary movie or passing out candy to the smaller children so you can watch their faces light up.

Just remember to wear a costume if you do happen to go out trick-or-treating!
