It is not to be restricting and giving out tickets to teenagers who just want to spend time with family and friends.
The government should not put age age restriction on teens for trick-or-treating everyone should be able to trick-or-treat. “The local government has been talking about putting a age restriction for teenagers who want to trick or treat and that is not nice my child is still 16 but he has not developed to that age not all kids get it”, says a local mom from a small Canadian town. She does not seem happy about this rule because her child is mentally disabled child and he still thinks it is normal for him to be trick or treating with the younger children.

    First of all, the outrageous criteria to be eligible to vote here in the United States is undoubtedly preposterous. To vote, you first have to be 18 years or older ("What Are the Requirements to Be Eligible to Vote in Federal Elections?"). While this may seem justified, many people eager to vote are being withheld from doing so because of this age requirement. Voting shouldn’t be off limits to someone because of their age! Instead, the age requirement should be lowered significantly in order to allow more freedom for a surplus of citizens.…

    A city council is debating the adoption of a 10 p.m. weekday curfew and a midnight weekend curfew for teenagers. If the curfew is adopted, teenagers on the streets after those hours would be breaking the law. If this curfew is put in place, it will put an unfair and unnecessary interference on the lives of not just teenagers, but their families as well. Most teenagers have responsibilities, like jobs, whose hours may sometimes run past 10 p.m., so they are not able to be in the house by that time. Also, city council installing a curfew doesn't mean teenagers won't get in trouble.…

Halloween is the one day in the whole year where people and children alike dress up in costumes and go door to door in order to accumulate candy, however, one would not think that Halloween was not always a child-friendly holiday but had a shadowy and foggy past. Halloween then and Halloween now are completely two different people. Halloween in the past was first a day that marked a new season, but soon became a time where terror resides in the hearts of the Celts. Halloween today, has taken a dark turn where sadists and commercialization have sucked the fun and the historical truth out of Halloween.…
