I live on the tail-end of the dateline, so Halloween just ended for us here. We had about 50 kids come to our house, all in costume and no trouble-makers.
Believe me, it surprises and baffles a lot of people. I know -teenagers- who look at teenagers like that and wonder what the heck their problem is. No idea where it comes from; some kind of overblown, misplaced sense of entitlement. Although having said that, I used to work the teen night at a nightclub and we hardly ever had any trouble with them.
