I'm in year 9 this year. My highschool is fairly large, with something upwards of a thousand students, but I don't think anyone even knows what a furry is, let alone is one. I even drew an anthro in class once; it turned out pretty good, and I got a comment from someone, but he thought it was out of a game or something.
And then, only very recently, when all of the year below and my year's students were together in the same room for a morning tea, someone from year 8 came in dressed in some sort of fursuit beanie. It looked like a red panda or a weasel, and had these long flaps on it that served as furry gloves. And she just ran everywhere, hugging and petting everybody
.
I wanted to say something, but I didn't hear the word 'furry' anywhere, so decided against it. I
wish I had a furry buddy, though.
