How old is too old for trick-or-treating?
You are NEVER to old to be trick-or-treating! Halloween is supposed to be fun for everyone! It's fun to get candy and dress up as someone else! May it be a witch, zombie, princess, anything! It allows people to use their imagination and have fun!! I attend a middle/high school, and everyone there says NO ONE is too old to be dressing up and getting candy! It's a holiday that is fun for the whole family! :)
How old is too old to go trick-or-treating on Halloween?
I don't necessarily agree with a specific age limit for trick or treating. Most people don't realize, recognize, or possibly don't understand that Special Needs kids enjoy the holiday as well. They don't always comprehend there are supposed limits on these types of activities. We can try to explain it to them, of course, but they either don't understand or they are hurt to be excluded. Sometimes, it is not easy to clearly identify a Special Needs person strictly by appearance. They don't all “look different”. I have 2 autistic sons, ages 12 & 17, that look completely normal in appearance. If they came to your door trick or treating, would you automatically turn them away due to age? Do you ever wonder how many times you may have cruelly hurt a child's feelings by turning them away unknowingly?I have gotten mostly away from going house to house with my boys on Halloween. I tend to take them to more Trunk or Treat events now. These are mostly held at churches & I have found that they tend to be somewhat less judgmental about them participating. We are also military, & there are a great many more kids on post who are also Special Needs. That helps as well I believe.So…. In conclusion, I kindly request that you please take this information into account this year before you may rudely dismiss a young person strictly based on size or supposed age. They may not understand. A little kindness, compassion could really make it a great adventure & lots of fun for them!
Is 21 too old for trick or treating?
If you answer yes..then WHY? If I dress up, why does it matter? People don't seem to care. I'm a 21 year old girl, but I could pass for like...15, haha. So...who cares?
Is 22 years old TOO OLD to go Trick-or-Treating?
Volunteer to bring a kid, besides it is much more fun when you bring a kid. No you are not too old, who cares as long as you have fun! I went for the first time when I was in my early 30's and I had a blast watching kids get so excited. Of course, I did get extra candy since my birthday is on Halloween. It is a day to be a kid again!
What age did you stop trick-or-treating?
A2AI haven’t stopped yet.Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I like it even more than Christmas or my birthday. Dressing up, knocking on strangers’ doors at night, being with your friends, getting free candy; what’s better than that?“But Julia, 14 is too old for trick-or-treating,” you say?Probably, yeah, but not where I live. I’d be embarrassed if not for my area.Halloween culture where I live is really strong. Mexican sugar skulls are everywhere, almost everyone <18 is out trick-or-treating, and the jack-o-lantern contests are full of crazy talent.This was my entry. It was hard to work with, but I’m pretty proud.My dog is almost 21 in dog years, and even she still goes trick or treating. This was her:
What is an alternative to trick or treating on Halloween?
Some people do a trunk or treat, I know in my mom's neighborhood, they do one at the church near by her home. Everyone parks in the parking lot, and the kids go from car to car.If there's not one going on in your neighborhood, you can get together with neighbors, family, friends, co-workers, pretty much anyone willing that wants an alternative to walking door to door around the neighborhood, and do a trunk or treat instead.You can also host a Halloween party, or haunted house, and set up trick or treat stations where everyone can go table to table to get treats. That's a nice alternative if you want to do something indoors, especially if it's cold outside.
What happens when a 13-year-old attempted suicide by cutting her wrist?
Normally someone calls the police. Then they take the child to the er or a nearby mental hospital. After anywhere from 3 to over 24 hours of waiting(due to terrible medical systems everywhere) the child is either sent home(unlikely in the US but other countries are different) or goes through the boring annoying process of admission and getting a room. They are then monitored and evaluated until the hospital staff deems them “safe” to be on the outside and given some (chances are useless) “resources” to not need to come back. However, if the family was the reason for said suicide attempt, there will probably be some guilt trips back at home, maybe grounded for 3 months for “ruining the family name” or “not being normal” and they're going to lock up all the knives but not actually all of them so they can say they're doing good but they're actually just trying to sustain their delusions of being a good parent. All in all this suicide attempt sis nothing more than make internal affairs worse and the child wishes they succeeded and spend the next 4 years debating on trying again but better.That was my experience the last 3 times anyway. If your parents are half decent people though don't worry. Talk to them and work something out. If not I'm sorry. You can always throw me a dm if you need someone to talk or anything.
