To another Ltown parent...I believe that we all teach our children to deal with things in life and believe that the point of the parents is that it is ashame that they even have to treat others this way at all. I too have personally have had daughters that fell into being prey for some of the cruelty of the other girls here in the school. They can be really really cruel. And to be honest I have lived in other states and towns and have never had to face any of this type of stuff with myself or my daughters. Parents up here do seem to turn a blind eye to the way their children, teenagers act! Sometimes the reality of it does go way too far from them damaging cars and things like that to other destructive behavior. I personally realize that some stuff is normal but when they start with this type of stuff it does go over the line. I do agree with you about society losing its civility but it becomes beyond that when they start acting out in this type of behavior.

To uh hello: When I say we I mean we as a society not me and not Littlestown parents. Please don't take my words out of context and turn them around on me. It goes back to the point I was trying to make that Littlestown is not somehow worse nor special. Society as a whole has lost it's civility.

When my kids came home upset about being picked on (which did get pretty bad at times for one of them) I taught them how to deal with it. Not to complain about it, not to take it out on someone else but to either take it or learn to stand up for themselves. Just like they now have to do in the real world.

Spoken from a L'town person well....It speaks for itself.

"We say and do whatever comes into our small minds and often w/o consequence for our actions. Our kids see this and think it's okay for them and because of that we're raising what I like to call the "entitled generation".

To all the town parents: This whole discussion should probably be conducted over at the gossip board but since it started here I will continue here. If anyone feels that Littlestown is worse than any other town they've ever known then all I can say is you must've have lived many different places.

I agree that some kids are cruel nowadays. Some can be mean, rude, overbearing and many other things, but all kids here or anywhere are not this way. If anyone tries to say that Littlestown is so much worse than other places or that we're somehow special in this area you're wrong. This is the way of the world. Just look at the recent events in the world. Even an elected government offical can get away with calling the President a liar practically to his face. The human race is losing it's civility. We have no filter. We say and do whatever comes into our small minds and often w/o consequence for our actions. Our kids see this and think it's okay for them and because of that we're raising what I like to call the "entitled generation".

My kids are mostly grown now. They went to Littlestown schools their entire school career and their father graduated from Littlestown. They were faced with their share of challenges that they/we had to deal with, but they all turned out just fine. This is all part of life. If you try to shelter your kids from the meanness of others they will not learn how to make it in the real world. Life is not fair and mean stuff happens all the time whether it be from those we call our friends, family, enemies or even our government. The best thing you can do for your girls is to teach them how to deal with this stuff when it happens. I guess what I'm saying is we have no control over what other people do to us or our loved ones, but we do have control over how we deal with it and what our perspective is. Teach your kids how to treat others well and how to deal with situations where they are not treated well by others and you'll all live happier lives.

This is just my 2 cents.

I agree!! My daughter comes home crying often because of the other girls in school. Take a look around your town and tell me that the parents don't turn a blind eye to the issues. It is their kids that are walking this town under age and pregnant!! Or have just gotten busted in the recent drug bust's. Parents take more concern of what your kids are doing and how they are treating others before your child is next to get involved with some of these "wonderful kids" that walk this town.

Well, it is obvious that you don't have any girls that are still in school. The girls up here are horible!! They treat other girls (out of jealousy) worse than any other town that I have ever known. And their parents are just as bad with turning the "blind eye" to their own kids issues. They scratch up their cars and spread the worst rumors that one could ever dream of spreading through school. So I guess, be thankful that your kids are out of school. Had I have known that this town was the way it was we would have never moved here! And I would encourage ANYONE that has daughters and loves them and wants to protect them to NOT move here to Littlestown.

a littlestown parent: Why would you say that? I've raised 2 kids here and they turned out great. I think it's a great town. No town is without problems, and this is no exception, but I feel we have far less problems than most towns/cities.

You should avoid moving to this town!! Its worse then Harper Valley!!!!

No Remorse Wrestling proudly presents "THEY LIVE" July 18th at the Elite All-Star Gymnastics Center in Littlestown, PA

Bell time 7:30 PM @
Elite Allstar Gymnastics Center
212 South Queen Street
Littlestown, Pa

Already Announced:

#1 Contenders Battle Royale to start the show (participants to be revealed soon)

After turning back the challenge of Ian Cross at our last show, Core seems poised to defend against any and all comers for his championship. So at his request NRW management has been very busy putting together a contenders battle royale on the 18th for an NRW Championship opportunity later that night.

Littlestown's own "Invincible" Ian Cross v. G-Raver.

Cross is livid after what he deems unfair treatment in his title match by both referee Tanya Stephens and Commissioner Nash. The bigger problem for Ian is that G-Raver has been rapidly rising through the ranks wherever he goes with his exciting and innovative offense. If Cross doesn't focus on the task at hand, he'll have a whole lot more to be upset about.

Hi Sandy,
I am a mother of two who has resided in the Littlestown area since 1997. I relocated from Maryland. I have a daughter 20 and a son 17 who have both attended/graduated from Littlestown Area Schools. I can't say enough good about this area especially the school system. My daughter now a Junior at Penn State has been commended by her professors based on the education she received here. My son will graduate high school with 9 college credits. The teachers have been wonderful (but you always have a few that ruffle your feathers of course). All considering I would highly recommend the schools. As far as the area. I personally love it. It is small; one red light, a grocery store, 2 hardware stores, a Sheetz and of course a McDonanlds! A few other small merchants as well. There are many options as far as housing both new and older. On the downside school taxes are a bit high. The people however,are friendly and although sorta rural there are many that have relocated from Maryland which gives the area a small town feel but progressive as well. L-town is convenient to larger areas for shopping and otherwise. There are certain parts of town that are better than others, like anywhere, but all in all I have loved raising my family here. Best of luck to you!

Thank you very much LHS parent, I already sent you an email..lol. I absolutely fell in LOVE with the photos of the town on the borough website. But it doesn't really give me a feel for what the neighborhood looks like outside of the commercial area. Is it an urban area where people can walk to main street? Or is it pretty much rural? Guess I should have asked these questions in the email...lol. Looking forward to hearing back from you. And also anyone else with any input; good, bad and the inbetween!!

Sandy, I'm a 40 year old single mom who's lived in Littlestown for 13 years. I grew up in this area though (Hanover/New Oxford) so I'm familiar with the whole area. If you'd like to talk email me at book_buddy@hotmail.com. I'll tell you all about the area (good, bad and everything in between) to help you make an informed decision.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Sandy, I am a 45 year old single mom who is considering relocating myself & my 9 year old daughter. We currently live in Pittsburgh Pa but I have always wanted to live in a small town but I want to be within at least a 4 hour drive from family. I located this Littlestown on a map and sorta was drawn by it's name...lol. I just can't get a feel for the community on the websites. What is the town really like? I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!!
