My neighbors kids are great. they are active in sports, respectful and kind when I see them. what they do around the corner I donot know but I do beleve they are good kids. Their parents are involved with them. Dad has been palying ball with both children since they were old enough to catch a ball. Mom is always within earshot of the kids when they are in the yard. Not all kids are rotten. we take care of our homes. pull weeds from the curbs and respect each others property. Are we unusual or the norm? I want to beleive we are the norm. People like to throw around the phrase white trash. I don't think this truly applies. Every community has pros & cons. Lets just start concentrating on the pros. Beachrat, here here!

Also, let me focus on the fact that P.S 277 is one of the best schools in the district and the majority of the kids that attend that school are Gerritsen Beach kids! Go figure. So if you live in Gerritsen Beach (because you can’t afford to live anywhere else) and don’t want your kids going to a neighborhood school (which probably means you’re paying for private school.) that is your choice and your mistake. Maybe if you saved your money, got a second job you could have afforded the extra 50K to live in the prestigious Marine Park! If you were not so ignorant maybe you would realize the advantages of living in Gerritsen Beach. Take advantage of your surroundings. We have to only volunteer fire department in all 5 boro’s, the only library on the water, we have GB Cares, Kiddie Beach, the Cort Club and its fund raisers, the kids have baseball, soccer, the fields and that great karate place that opened on the avenue. If Gerritsen Beach is so horrible, why do people from all other communities come here to use the parks, the fields, and the library? Do they see something you don’t? Open your eyes. You sound very bitter. Last, I would just like to say that if you raise your children right, teach them values and how to respect others and their surrounding your kids will not be one of the FEW trashy kids in the area that give the good kids and families a bad rap! And just so you know, I have traveled and lived in other neighborhoods and there is nothing in the world like Gerritsen Beach! I feel lucky that I was able to buy a $600,000 house and move back to the neighborhood and raise my family. Especially, when I almost bought a semi-attached house in Marine Park that was more affordable! Sounds to me that you’re just bitter because let me tell you something….. I have a two year old son and at 2 he knows what bad words and does not repeat them. Yes, it annoys me to have people curse in front of him. But, I bet it does not happen as much as you are implying. Secondly, it is also true that you tend to dwell on the bad and not the good! So all you GB residents new and old be proud of your community. Pick up garbage, keep your houses, yards clean, teach your children respect and discipline! Dear Anonymous who moved to GB in 2002,

I bought it because i couldn't afford to live in Marine Park, where I wanted to live... now, I want to sell and move because my children are 8 and 10 and I will kill them and then myself if they even think about acting the way 90% of the Beach Rat Youth do. I should have realized when my Father-In-Law told me what comes from here. Now, I have to fight the lifers (who have 3 cars each) for a spot on the street (just ONE spot is all I ask for), I have to cover my kids ears when they're in my "yard" because the local slum are walking down the street cursing like sailors and to top it all off the value of my house has tanked (although, that is city wide)... I should have sucked it up 6 years ago and not tried to save myself the $50K - hind sight is always 20/20... I just hope that my next move is a smarter one. I can't wait to leave... I just hope it is before my children are too widely influenced... thank God I sent them to school outside of the area...

It's the kids from the neighborhood causing these problems. Every neighborhood has their own kids acting up, but this neighborhood is a lot smaller and isolated than others. The kids there are out of control. Whether they are on the jetskies causing near collisions, on the dirtbikes flying down the Avenue, or acting like loose animals in the pizzeria, they do whatever they like with no intervention. They have no respect for anyone and anything, let alone a bus stop. Let’s not kid ourselves. It’s the kids from the neighborhood causing these problems.
