Teens have more reasons than usual this year to go trick-or-treating.
Sixteen percent of adults in the TODAY survey felt kids should stop trick-or-treating around 17 or 18, while 19% said age 15 or 16 is the stopping point. And 1% said kids older than 9 shouldn't go door-to-door.Trick-or-treating, however, is not just about collecting free candy. It's also a time for unfettered creativity.
Other than activities like cosplay or musical theater, Halloween is one of few occasions for older kids to enjoy make-believe play, Hilary G. Conklin, a professor in the department of teacher education at DePaul University, toldRachel Houston of Charlotte, N.C., says her 14-year-old daughter loves self-expression on Halloween.
"On some years, she dressed fairly mainstream — as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, a T-Rex wearing an inflatable costumes and Wonder Woman," Houston told TODAY Parents."Other years, she gets super creative and makes her own costume. For example, last year she was an 'edgy' female version of Jason Voorhees" from the film series"Friday the 13th."
Some teens are looking forward to trick-or-treating this year because it's their first"normal" Halloween since the pandemic.
