My Niche users experience is when I'm very specific about my skills and connect with other. I like that they are very passionate about what they do because they all are working artists themselves.I will like to see more affordable in students and more jobs opportunities in the city.

I've been bullied majority of my middle school year here at West Lowndes. 9th grade year was a year I was bullied but after 9th grade everyone in my grade don't bully. The anti-bullying movement here at my school is a joke. Lots of underclassmen are bullied due to weight, race, sexual orientation, etc. It's sad and very disappointing that even the adults (Staff, teachers, principals) don't care.
