being openly furry at school, especially High School, is... different. Kids at school are overly judgmental. Admitting your furry is like saying your gay (no offense). If you say it, and people accept it, than great. But if no one accepts it, the damage is done. you're theoretically dead for the rest of high school. No matter what, there are always going to be that group of students who are going to be against you and our fandom. No one at my high school knows, but soon my friend will. I figure that this is who I am and I will live the rest of my life as a furry. If he doesn't accept it, then that's fine, but I won't change just to keep a friend. More friends will come.
