Issue: Hate crimes/these crimes not being reported/racism, homophobia, religion, etc.

I started dancing at school my sophomore year and I was opened up to a whole new group of people who I felt very comfortable being around. My best friend's name is Melynia Mamauag or Nia which is what we all call her. I started hanging out with her outside of school around the end of my junior year and this is when we got close.
