Nayla Kidd: Columbia University Student FOUND!

It's really interesting. A black man in community college is dangerous. He's not doing it for the social media likes, he's not doing it to please his upper middle class parents, he's not doing it to do the synchronized dances while wearing fancy symbols. He could be doing 10,000 different things other than going to school. But there he is. In class.
That's a scary dude. Young enough to sell dope, but old enough to know better.
no he's not. community college is 13th grade. if u can fog a mirror with your breath, you can get in.
And that is the majority. But the allure of community colleges and for profit schools is that they eliminate the bullshit and cater to the bottom line. They market jobs and immediate employability. 4 year spots market some amorphous mix of legacy and privilege. To have a young person realize that difference is incredible. As the bible says, the first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
Peace,
She needs to get the fuck outta here with this brain dead rationale. She should have at least had the decency to notify her parents, or a trusted friend. That shit was foul.

Drugs... she got turned out
she broke down years before asian medical students do. she came from a prestigious background with resources. she couldnt hack it. fuck that bitch. glad she made room for ppl who are passionate about their careers.
my gut feeling and her pictures - leads me to think that chick is on heroin - I just hope she doesn't become an all out junkie
Imagine if every 19 year old was encouraged and allowed to do that stupid shit. Foh..
Her and her mom need they ass beat..
One of many reasons white supremacy and racial bias continue to reign supreme is that there are never a shortage of dumbass assimilating gooks such as yourself standing in line for the chance to suck on the white mans dick and play devils advocate for a seat at the table..
nah its happened before and will again - the moms sent her girl to school - she couldn't protect the girl from feeling like a fish out of water in NYC or stop a young kid from experimenting and developing an addiction to H
Not if that passion entails quitting school to become an unemployed "model". She showed she is utterly incapable and too immature to make such a life altering decision by the way she handled making said decision in the first place.. You need to cut the idealistic bullshit. Ive seen far too much of it from you lately.. And imo, you're smarter than that.
Because my gig pays more and needs black representation just as much if not more... Not sure how thats applicable here tho.
Moms response was shit. Irresponsibility should not be coddled and encouraged.. Not with stakes as high as these.
WTF is moms going to say to an addict that chooses to stay in NYC?... ain't nothing to be said to the girl until she hits bottom....
Every undercover ho in NYC is a model / dancer or works at True Religion Jeans - baby girl is already lost
More than "no explanation needed.. i understand... if you a stripper you gonna be the best stripper ever..".
If you cant muster anything more compelling than that then kill yourself.
that lady was scared to death her kid was dead - but when she found her she might have wished the girl died and was embarrassed as hell

Well if thats the best support, advice, and admonishment you gonna give your child under those circumstances, then maybe they both would be better off dead.
She didnt quit school. She disengaged from life. BIG difference. Maybe you missed the part where emptied accounts, withdraw, changed numbers, ignored family friends and didnt call her mom on mothers day and there after... And Malcolm X circumstance, environment, opportunity and options largely dictated his decisions and predicament at that stage in life... Stop forcing stupid analogies bro.
Id rather she drop out too.. But blowing her brains isnt the only option. And my point is you cant trust her to "do what she wants" if she already displays a total inability to make reasonable and rationale adult decisions... Ive actually been to college, grad and professional schoool.. and muthafuckas drop out everyday... rarely do they handle it as poorly as this fool. Thats my point (one of them atleast)..
Yea nigga.. my gig pays more.. and black representation is as if not more fucking important.. Dont inject my fucking profession and challenge me in any way and then act offended when i respond. And her mom being supportive and educated isnt fucking pressure. Certainly not to the point of cuasing the reaction she had... If she thinks so she needs some fucking perspective and a kick in the ass along with a course on real pressure situations for a teenage child..
"Love and figuring the rest out later" are NEVER the response to depression and drugs.. Again, more idealistic bullshit.. Hugging her, telling her to be the best stripper possible and accepting this shit is awful parenting. And advising 19 year old kids to quit school and do whatever "they want" is equally atrocious advice.
go forbid - and heaven help you if one of your kids becomes an addict.... I've seen more than one parent completely broken when they are smacked in the face with surprise /horror of a kid thats a junkie...
they are both in for a long journey....
Never said it was easy.. But watching in agreement as your kid throws her future away is never a good option or adequate means of addressing this kinda shit.
there is no addressing a junkie -
you cut em off $$ and try to get them in a 12 step program and rehab... but that only help when the addict is ready
What didnt make sense is her handling of the withdrawal from school and her moms response to the entire ordeal..
And again the Malcolm analogy was a poorly placed one.. As the two have nothing in common in opportunity or resources... let alone times they lived in.
And if shes going thru some real shit then the worst thing to do would be an encouraging hug and allowing her to go forward with idiotic life altering decisions made during mental and emotional disarray. Personally, im not sure if she's dealing with mental health issues, just naive as fuck or lazy... But whatever the source of her issues it cant be solved by allowing her to continue to make decisions on her own this way.. Shes proven she isnt capable.. And yes, if her mom allows her to fuck off this opportunity while telling her to be the best stripper she can be then she needs her ass beat... They both do.
Lastly, im not comparing myself to a teenager.. YOU'RE the one who found it relevant to discuss my profession and occupation choice. I merely responded. Dont get upset when you dont like the answer bro.
But we can agree that we both hope she gets her shit together.
Well moms didnt do that either... But you're making assumptions. Nothing i read or saw says "junkie". She absolutely may be headed that way tho... Moms response and advice sure as fuck wont help.
This is madness... She was a "star student" in Ojai at Thatcher, but found herself as just a number at Columbia.... That's what happens the first 2 years... It's called the "weed out" period for a reason. It sucks financially since most of those classes don't mean shit in the grand scheme of things, but they want to weed out the nobody's vs the really dedicated, hard working or in a lot of cases brainwashed.... She couldn't cut it, but instead of just telling her mom she tried to drop off the grid... Man GTFOH, Columbia is no where near the size of OSU, she had resources and options... Either she didn't know or didn't want to. Hopefully it's not drugs..and this whole modeling shit is ridiculous.

Hopefully she can become a decent artist, I can relate to the strong feelings of dread when you're studying something not related to your creative desires. The only time I ever enjoyed school was when it was art and music related. Been there. I strongly suggest she at least go to school for music production and audio enegineering at the very least. School isn't a bad thing it's just what she was studying wasn't congruent with her spirit. I have a homegirl of 25 years that has an Engineering Degree from University Of Maryland and never used it a day in her life. She a fucking successful Poet, Author and Alternative educator ever since she graduated college. I have homie in LA that was heavy into the Computer Programming and Tech world. He graduated Valedictorian from an HBCU (Mid 90's) after being suspended for a year for smoking weed, and kept smoking like crazy, even while working for the city of LA. He eventually said fuck it And opened a Tattoo shop I belive and does martial arts instruction on the side. My point is some people can only keep the charade going for so long, eventually they will break down. Better early than late. Conversely I do believe there are people out there that love crunching numbers, engineering etc and that is their life's passion and purpose.
Indeed. These liberal ivy league institutions are not in the business of flunking kids out. Help is there if you want it. She admits the academics wernt as big an issue as her interest was... Well quess what? Change your fucking major, minor or pick up a major in something that does interest you.. The options on that campus are limitless... as is the networking opportunities..
She thinks she had pressure before... wait until that struggling artist shtick goes from cute to fucking loser once she hits 28 or so and shes washed up as far as the modeling industry is concerned. She'll be begging Colombia to let her back in.... or scheming to kill her dumbass moms in order to cash in on the life insurance policy.

Hope this is not another case like Kendrick Johnson only done a different way. We will have to pay a price for not knowing who we are and who whites are. The books that are suppose to be a record of out thoughts and how we allowed Satan to rule for a little over 6000 years.
damn, i don't even know what to make of this. on the one hand, i can understand where she's coming from. if anyone can tell you first hand about the pressure to succeed, talk to some of the african kids on college campuses with strict african parents. I was one of them kids. it's 1 of 4 ways that shit always goes....
1) if you have the mental fortitude to deal with your parents', you will excel and i don't mean in a mediocre manner (how many times you see them showcasing these black kids who get accepted into all ivy league schools they applied to, etc etc). the clique i hung out with at college were mostly from this category. they themselves knew what they wanted to accomplish and they pushed themselves hard and they could still handle the pressure. but you cannot do it alone. you need a support system. people who you'll study with and do everything with. today, of that group that i consider myself blessed to have been a part of, 3 are doctors, (the one guy even has 2 doctorate degrees), 2 are pharmacists, 1 is in nuclear medicine
2)if you don't have the mental fortitude to deal with the pressure from your parents and you don't quite know how to approach them about it, you will fail miserably, burn and crash, like this chick here. SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE like my friends up above
3)you have the mental fortitude but you still don't want to deal with the pressures. My best friend and I fall into this category and (i almost fail out of favor with my parents because of it) you can still do well and end up in a respectable position in life. this is accomplished by "brushing" off your parents and everyone else who you feel is pushing you too hard......but,( and this is very important), but still not losing sight of the fact that your parents just want the best in life for you and finding a nice middle compromise that will make everyone happy. My parents wanted me to become a medical doctor but i took the pharmacy route. no one is complaining now. i'm happy, they're happy. my buddy is doing something with nuclear medicine and radiology. he says there are only 900 of them in the world and he's making decent money.
4) complete and out right rebellion - this was my brother right here. parents wanted him to become an engineer. he was like fuck yall. i am gonna do what i wanna do. of course, it set him back some, and he's now paying for it, but he ended up becoming an architect. so he aight. got himself a nice cushy job with the city but got beaucoup student loans.
