Is your teen trick or treating this year?

My 17 yo hasn’t gone in several years but surprised me this afternoon when he said he and some friends were going to go (in costume). Last hurrah—I’m not going to stop him.

Every time a teen walks by me on Halloween I call out, do you want candy.

It's sad that people shame teens about Trick or Treating.

We don't let them enjoy the simple things in life because we are so afraid of them being "immature"... it's pathetic.

+1 I don’t understand this mentality.

Me either its like parents want their kids to grow up way too fast.

Right! I only have one and I’m in no hurry for her to grow up!

OP here. My DD doesn’t have any friends.

I'm sorry, OP. My DD is feeling very alone this Halloween too. If friendships weren't already strong before the pandemic, this is a really tough time to connect with other kids. I hope you and she did something you enjoyed tonight.

No, they stayed home. Watching movies.

My 15 year old walked around to see the sites with friends but no costume. First time no costume....
