Speaking on her close friend Raquelle Steven's new podcast, "Giving Back Generation," Selena opened up about her brief time attending a 'traditional school' before being homeschooled.
"If my cousin wasn’t the captain of the cheerleading team I would have been destroyed," Selena said.

"I want, to be an example of friendship and what it can look like, and the importance of it. I want there to be more friendships like this. I think there needs to be more."
