What's a good Halloween costume for an 8th grader?

Question

i absolutely LOVE Halloween!!! Favorite holiday. i don't care so much about the candy part or anything, just the getting dressed up and having fun with it. i'm a little unsure this year. i love getting dressed up and going full out, but people keep telling me "you're too old for that" which i might be. not many of my friends get all majorly dressed up, just face paint, wig,etc. so i was wonder what's a good costume for me? I'm in middle school in the 8th grade, and a girl. i was thinking, since Halloween's on a friday this year, of having a party where u have to wear a costume, so i could get all dressed up then, but what about for school? does anyone have any ideas for me? last year i bought a 99 cent half-face mask from extra foods that was all messed up and gory looking and took some bandages from the first aid kit and put fake blood on them. but everyone remembers me like that cuz it rocked, so i want something different this year. any suggestions? It'd be a great help. i know Halloween's like 2 months away, but why not get ready right now? Thanks!!!!

Answer 1

do something wild and funky.

be a hippy for a nerd or an old lady.

Dood, I am like you. i love halloween and i can't find a good costume either!

I think i'm gonna be an accident prone person with a cane, a head bandage, a fake cast, a knee brace, etc.

Or i might be a hippy with the long blonde hair, glasses, bell bottoms, headband, etc. Thats awesome!

I love halloween and i hope yours is safe and memorable!

Answer 5

Personally, I think it's acceptable to dress up  for Halloween, but unfortunately it gets harder as you get older.  (Personnaly I stoped trick or treating in 6th grade.  About when I learned you can buy cheap candy at walmart)

Most girls, (because, for the most part it is girls who dress up) either end up in 1 of 2 categories.  1) Increasingly immodest costumes (things that would never be allowed on other school days) or 2) Generic cutsie costumes.  High schoolers who are still dressing up as fairies and princesses and such.

It's hard to find a good costume that doesn't fall into one of these.  (Not that I've looked)

Answer 6

No one is too old for Halloween, lemme tell you. Looking through my sister's high school year books, there's always a Halloween section in there. (One of them included two guys dressed as ballerinas xD)

I'm planning my costume this early as well. (13-year-old in the 8th grade too so high-five lol) For me, personally, it's all about taking different ideas that you like and making them into your own look. Look at pictures of costumes, objects, whatever that interests and inspires you and put together a really kick-*** outfit that truly matches your personality and style.

I hope this helps. ^_^
