I stopped at the Bella Thorne pics.

That's gross.

But he's such a good kid.

I really hope this somehow isn't true, but I am afraid it is.

:angrybird4:

Let's not forget he's still college aged. I realize the responsibilities he inherited in the draft, but he is still a kid. There's no telling how many Gatorade stains or herbal scraps I've left laying around. Those are just the tip of the iceberg of course, but.......

 

I don't know why I'm defending him. I thought he was highly overrated at UK, but this is where education fails students. "Take our tests so we can get grant money, but we aren't actually going to teach you how to be a successful human being."

I would imagine a lot of this is a reflection of whom he has been surrounding himself with as well.

When I was 13 our baseball team took a trip to Tennessee to be in a multi-state tournament where we stayed at a college dorm for a few days where we were two to a room.

 

Because I was raised to be conscientious, and I cared about my belongings, I meticulously unpacked my suitcase and placed my clothes etc... neatly in the provided drawers immediately after being assigned to my room.

 

My best friend who was also my roommate essentially did the same, and though he wasn't as neat as I was about it, he was at least fairly and respectably organized. Our room was fine with no outlandish messes.

 

And with the rest of our team that is where organization ended.

 

Within 30 minutes it looked as if a bomb had been dropped where in every room kids immediately had their belongings scattered everywhere. Each room was an absolute mess. It was apparent to me that these spoiled brats had never picked up after themselves their entire lives leaving that job to their mommies, and their moms were nowhere around.

 

Because of the excitement of being on our own, a few of the kids went overboard and thought that it was a funny idea to grab all of the fire extinguishers and spray them all up and down the hallways. As a complete embarrassment to the coaches, a cleaning crew had to show up the next day to clean up the massive mess that was made. No one got into trouble because no one admitted to who had made the mess.

 

I came from a family where both of my parents enforced the rule:

 

"A place for everything, and everything in its place".

 

This also meant that after playing with your toys you put them away where they could easily be found the next time you intended to play with them. Board games were neatly placed back in their box making sure that all game pieces were intact. Balls, gloves, bats etc... had their place, and it wasn't OK for them to be scattered throughout the yard.

 

After coming home from school, books were placed in a designated area, and jackets were hung up.

 

Dishes were cleaned and put away immediately following meals. I never once witnessed while growing up a sink full of dirty dishes.

 

This was normal for me from day one without question, and it was such an eye opener to see just how disorganized the vast majority of the other boys my age were by comparison. I have to admit that the impression I got from this experience was that boys were mindless unruly pigs.

 

Unless parents start early to instill an organization sense into their children, bad habits start young and follow them throughout their lives. If they see a mess, then a mess to them will be normal. If they are never held responsible to pick up after themselves and mom always does it, they barely realize that anyone actually is doing it and they take it for granted, so when it comes time for them to live on their own they're not equipped with the good sense or habits to do it for themselves in an organized fashion.

 

I really shouldn't pin this ugly habit only on boys because I have witnessed just as disgusting disorganized messes from girls, so no matter the gender, if not raised right, bad habits will follow.

 

My guess is that Nerlens Noel hasn't lived on his own very long, and and it goes without saying that he wasn't raised right to be neat and organized. Sadly though, for many kids it's not terribly that unusual.

Everything definitely has a place. I applaud you and your parents.

I'd say combine that with the "I'm rich" mentality and there is the problem in this situation.

Sad that a kid who is suppose to have an education does something so classless.

What education ?

What education ?

I was being nice. Most suspect he is one of those who got little education on his way to the NBA.

Likely been told he was great and had special exceptions made for him since he was 7 years old on the AAU circuit. Likely never had to be responsible for any of the decisions he made or see the results of the bad ones.

 

That said, limited knowledge of him when he was at UK would suggest this behavior is not out of character at all.
