Why People Should Ban Halloween

As a student and a teenager, I rather go trick-or-treating rather than going to a party where there might be many temptations such as alcohol and drugs. On the other side there is always an option of staying home and doing something else, but who doesn’t want to dress up and go out the night of Halloween. There is danger everywhere, but as long as you can stay away from temptations the better, there is nothing wrong with going trick-or-treating

Pennsylvania police, for instance, reported that a 13-year-old trick-or-treater in Montgomery County had found a razor blade secreted in the wrapped candy Nestle Crunch bar given to him on the Halloween night (Towamencin). A mother in Kaisertown complained to police about pieces of glass in Tootsie Pops that her children were given during trick or treating (The Buffalo News). Also, a father in Auburn, Main, said his child found a sewing needle concealed in a Snickers bar received while trick-or-treating (The Babgir Daily News). Fortunately, none of the trick-or-treaters claimed the life of the children, but these criminals still hasn't been caught yet. Can the parents be relieved to hear that any children didn’t die from the candies? The candies may show that potential sadists were hiding behind the door or that someone just played a trick. The fact we know so far is that these candies could be fatal if trick-or-treaters ate. As long as these crimes have been reported, parents would never consider that Halloween goodies are utterly

limit for trick-or-treaters? In fact, according to multiple town officials through North America teens over the age of sixteen would be fined $200 if they are seen performing this innocent activity. This activity which has brought immense amounts of laughter thought generation. Therefore, this Halloween numerous teens would have to remain home all alone. Does this mean this could be your last Halloween as a family? As a whole there are multiple reasons why families have come together and agree what it's best for their family. There should not be an age limit limit to go trick-or-treating because if there was one, it would defeat a way of interaction between families and within families, also it promotes greater threats amongst teens and kids.

Introduction: Patrons of the season of Halloween spend over $2.5 billion dollars every year on candy, costumes, and decorations. Every year millions of kids get dressed up, knock on doors, and beg for candy. Have you ever wondered where this strange tradition originated? The three most important points of Halloween can be summed up by looking at its origins, how it came to include jack-o-lanterns and bobbing for apples, and how it is celebrated today with trick-or-treating and haunted houses.

First and foremost, city council should make staying out late for teenagers illegal because of danger. If city council makes this illegal, it could prevent some of the kidnapping, use of drugs, or killings. Most things happen late at night because people are less seen, if teenagers are made to be home at a curfew, fewer of these dangers will occur to our town’s teenagers.

In today’s society, many people fear that if teens are out late they are participating in mischief or that they are more likely to be involved in criminal activity. Many feel that by creating a city wide curfew for teens crime would be reduced. However, in reality, most crimes are committed during the day by adult offenders, not by individuals under the age of 18. A curfew for teens would not be the right way to go.

Although celebrating of Halloween became one of our funny holidays in which families, friends and their kids can reveal their spirits and release their soul. Doubt about celebrating or not will be out there, but the question is, should we celebrate Halloween? The answer is "no". Halloween gives impressive record of people who celebrate Halloween than those people who said "no". As a result of peoples lack of understanding in Halloween being a festival of death.

Nobody likes being told what to do, especially teenagers, they don’t like to be told what to eat, when they need to get off their phones or clean their rooms, and they don’t like to be told when they have to be home. In a teenagers mind they believe they should have as much freedom, if not more, than their parents or guardians. The idea of teen curfews is controversial; there are many different ideas about curfews. A teenager has very few internal ways of controlling impulses, therefore they have inhibitions. A curfew would at least keep them safe to some degree and give them some kind of guidelines when it comes to their daily activity.

Teenagers have a lot on their plates including: school, looking for jobs, or having a job, relationships, and sports. Teenagers would need to arrive home by 10 P.M. This shouldn't interfere with young peoples lives because they shouldn't be out that late anyways. Now if a teenager has a job they would need to get off of work by at least 9:30 P.M. That should give him or her plenty of time to go home, eat supper, do homework, take a shower, and then go to sleep. If teenagers were to disobey this law then they would be breaking the law. Teenagers now a days aren't the same as back in the older day teenagers. It use to be that if someone was out after dinner time he or she mom or dad would be really upset or even mad at them and tell them quickly to get to their room and go do he or she homework. Most students that are focused on their studies they won't be out past about eight or nine o'clock. These teenagers are probably in their rooms studying and preparing for the next day of school. Teenagers need to be aware of how dangerous it is to be out past 10 P.M. It isn't like it use to be going outside without parents and no one messed with anyone as

“In 1921, Minnesota became the first state to celebrate Halloween.[...] One by one, other states began to celebrate Halloween until it had spread nationwide.” said Kristen W. while putting up the argument that Halloween should not be celebrating because of the dangers that could lie beneath it. The argument in this article is that Halloween was started with the thought of kids being able to get some candy and dress up for fun, maybe even get a little scared, but as the world population grows so does crime rates which are supposedly worst on the night of October 31st. Kristen goes on to say “This year an estimated 23,000 children will have their candy scanned at a local hospital before they are allowed to eat it. If parents are worried, why

Although the city council is considering a curfew that would make it illegal for teenagers to be out on the streets after 10 p.m. on weekdays or after midnight on weekends. Even though the curfew will keep teenagers in but what if there was an emergency. It is also against the bill of rights we should not all be punished for what other people do it's not everyone's fault. We should talk to the city council about watching the neighborhoods for thieves and vandalizers. Everyone would be able to go grocery shopping or if they have to go to the hospital. If we had curfew it would make us feel like we are trapped and we can't go outside many parents or guardians don't get off work tell midnight or later.

A new law that is currently being debated by city council states that teenagers are now allowed to be outside past certain hours. These hours are 10 p.m. on weekdays and midnight during the weekend. Many people are unhappy with this law for many reasons. Teenagers feel they are being treated unfairly and parents feel they should be able to make the decision of when their child can and can't go outside. Others believe this law is also brings a great deal of inconvenience. Even though this new law can help teenagers stay out of trouble many of them still feel the law is unfair. This law prevents them form doing stuff they would normally do such as going to a friend's house. This also prevents them from being able to have parties that

Although, Some people say that a curfew is not necessarily for keeping teens out of trouble. It is for keeping the town quiet at night and gives everyone some peaceful rest at night. In the article, “Manitoba town to ban kids at night”, the mayor of Killarney, Manitoba sates,” ‘It’s not that we have a big crime problem, we just have some youngsters out to all hours of the night disturbing the peace.’ ” An easier method for this is just to have a few police working at night to ensure peace. A demanding curfew that punishes many for doing nothing is simply unnecessary. “‘Ultimately, curfew laws don't make us more safe, but they make us less free,’ says Joe Cook, executive director of the Dallas ACLU” (Rosado and Manly).

If a curfew is established and teens abide by it, then there will be a decrease on crimes like kidnapping and DUI’s. The city has a way they can prevent these horrific events by making sure teens are home at a specific time. Parents are most likely to agree with a curfew like this because it is an attempt to protect their children. Studies show the majority of accidents that involve drinking and driving occur late at night typically after 10:00 pm. If minors are in the house before then,they are not at risk to be in such danger. Even though teens may think this is not fair and is taking away their freedom, this curfew is meant to make sure they are safe. Another conflict that can be avoided by this curfew restriction is kidnapping. Many missing children go missing late at night. To decrease the amount of children who are taken away from their families the curfew should be put into

Imagine this, it’s 10:30 p.m. and you are walking down the street when a cop approaches you. The next thing you know you’re in big trouble for being on the streets after 10:00 p.m. Don’t like the sound of that do you? My city council is considering a curfew that would make it illegal for teenagers to be out on the streets after 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and after midnight on weekends. I disagree with this consideration because teenagers may have to work late, they could be in danger, or there could be an emergency.
