OK, imagine kids don’t trick ‘or’ treat at Kara apartment building. So dressed in her Supergirl costume, she goes to Lena’s house with a lawn chair and a garbage bag full of candy and just starts handing out fist fulls of candy to the kids and two to the ones dressed as Supergirl.

if a teenager is at your door and they are wearing a costume!! please give them candy!! they are still in it for the halloween spirit and it honestly no different from a little kid in a costume. they are just as excited and happy as all the other lil tykes and dont you dare tell them they are “too old for trick-or-treating” because that will literally break their hearts and that’s not cool.

Its getting close to Halloween again so I just thought I’d reblog this again

And if “don’t be rude to teenagers over a stupid jawbreaker” isn’t enough for you, consider 

  • You can’t tell how old a kid is just by looking. I’ve known multiple 5th graders who were taller than I am, and I’m 25 years old. With their faces hidden by masks, you won’t be able to tell they’re elementary schoolers, but they still are. 
  • Lots of older siblings are expected to take their younger siblings trick-or-treating, and they only get paid in candy. 
  • You don’t know if that teenager is developmentally disabled. 
  • You don’t know if that teenager spent most of their childhood in a hospital or sick and has never had the traditional trick-or-treat experience before.
  • You don’t know if this is that teenager’s first Halloween in America, and they just want to experience a piece of American culture.
  • You don’t know if that teenager ever gets candy any other day of the year. 
  • You don’t know if that teenager has eaten anything at all today. 

And those are just things I can think of off the top of my head. 

 My younger brother is autistic. When he was twelve, we took him trick or treating and a woman gave him a hard time because people in my family are just tall from an early age. He was genuinely hurt and upset, and did not understand why this woman was being mean to him.

But I shouldn’t have to justify why a twelve year old should get candy. Or any teenager for that matter.

If they’re in costume or with someone in costume, give them candy, dammit.

Halloween is for everyone.

Also the “this way they’re having good clean fun instead of drinking or getting into trouble” but honestly I like all of the above arguments SO much better!!
