Teens and Adults in Forks at Odds!!

Here’s the quick round up. Forks Township is outside of Easton. Sludge People from New York and New Jersey moved there into one of those fake suburban communities that used to be farmland.

After awhile, that community becomes a real community that includes teenagers staying up late at night and … holy crap, talking and stuff outside ON THE STREET.

Well, needless to say, the powers that be don’t like this because, well, they have been watching too much “Gangland” on the History Channel and think that these kids are going to start “doing drivebys” and “getting all loco on their asses.”

But unlike the rest of Forks Township, a couple of thousand people live on just a handful of blocks in Penn’s Ridge, which sits densely atop a hill overlooking the sprawling homes and manicured lawns often associated with the suburbs.

The townhouses and apartments of this community are only a decade old. Many residents who live in them moved from urban areas in New Jersey and New York, looking for a busy but safe neighborhood in a community they could afford.

The divide in Penn’s Ridge emerged last month when a handful of neighbors attended a supervisors meeting, complaining about noisy packs of teenagers who were hanging out in the streets, cursing and engaging in “sexual behavior.” One resident said Penn’s Ridge felt more like Newark, N.J.

“We want to live in a nice area,” Heber Gordills of Chestnut Lane told the supervisors. He and several other residents, some of whom have young children, said they are afraid to go outside after dark, and are worried the community is tilting toward trouble.

You COULD be living in Easton, shut up.

His words and others stung some in the community, especially kids, who all know each other, even though many of the adults do not. About 30 gathered at the neighborhood’s new park recently, circling on bikes and chit-chatting in groups, hoping to scrub clean their dirty image.

You COULD be living in Easton, shut up.

“Us teenagers shouldn’t be labeled by what the parents say,” said Kayla Martinez, 12, standing with four of her girlfriends.

Wow, there are some YOUNG lesbians in Forks Township.

This is one of those “just shut up” situations. Honestly, this is ALLL about the parents. If you are doing well enough to live in one of these communities then your kids (the kids who are causing the trouble) are economically dependent enough that you hold power over them.

They will TOTALLY be affected if you take shit away like their Xbox or their bike or their makeup.

It could be worse; you could live in Easton and your kids would just shoot you.

Just sayin’ 

Also, old people have to shut up. Life is unpredictable. The more you try to make it predictable the more you’re going to be shaken up with someone happens. Just Tyler Durden this situation.
