Extra Credit Oppurtunity: Halloween Discussion

I would like to offer an extra credit opportunity that ends on Halloween.  The question of discussion is:

What is the final age that it is socially okay to go "Trick-or-Treating?" 

In order to receive the full 15 points, your post must:
  • Have a position statement (e.g. I believe that ____ is the final age that society says it is okay to be a participant in the holiday Halloween)
  • Be at least a full 5-7 sentence paragraph
  • Have multiple reasons for your opinion

I think that when you are 18,a legally adult, you should stop trick or teating, becuase your an adult if you really want candy that badly you should go to the store and buy your own.

I agree with Megan. When your 18 you can legally drive so just go to the store. You can dress up but dont trick or treat youre to mature for that.

I think you should stop trick or treating when your 17, because its kind of awkward having someone that old ask you for candy, unless you have a younger sibling and your going with them.

I think that the final age is 18 because it is awkward for the candy giver when you ask for candy. unless you have your brother/sister or son.

I believe that 18 is the final age for trick or treating. When you are 18 your an adult. Trick or treating is for kids and teens to have fun. When your an adult knocking on a door asking for candy, I think the person giving out will be giving you strange looks. If your 18 go have fun at a party and have candy there. Sure you can get a lot of candy by trick or treating, but truthfully no one needs that much candy. So i believe that kids and teens should trick or treat, but people who are 18 and older should not.

i think the final age to be able to trick or treat should be 18 because it would be weird to open your door and see an adult asking for candy when the could of bought it at the store.

i believe that 18 is the final age to go trick or treating.trick or treating is a good way to have fun with friends and family members.My first reason why 18 is the final age to trick or treat because when you turn 18 you become and adult and when you become and adult you will have responsibility.Also you will not have time to trick or treat. My second reason is that 18 should be the final age to trick or treat because we would be embarrassed to trick or treat with little kids. So i think the final age is to trick or treat is age 18.
