Monday

Image is everything

Nae Nae still meets up with me at his brother's house. During the week he lives in a trailer park with his brother Daniel and his mom. His mom works two jobs and is hardly around. When she is, she smokes pot to relax and goes to sleep.

Nae Nae - "Yea i could say going to my brother's is an escape from my real life. I hope that I could live with him one day."

I have tried on several occasions to get Nae Nae to open up a little about his home life. Honestly, he hopes for the week to go by fast. He goes to school and comes home. He does like to hang out with neighborhood kids. His "gangsta friends." But they are really not in a gang, but he hangs out with them because he can relate with them. At school he hangs out with a completely different clique of friends. At school he has a bunch of friends that are gothic. Which makes me think that gothic groups are usually emotionally closed individuals and rarely verbally express themselves. Their clothing says it all. Perhaps Nae Nae relates to this group because he does not want to express who he is at home while in school?
