[Mod note: I'm so sorry this happened - and yeah, middle-schoolers can be immature]

They don't know how cool furries are.
Don't listen to them.
Do what YOU want.
Be who YOU want.
Just gotta be happy, k?
Don't let others be rude to you because of what you like.
Have a great day :D

You too, you amazing valid important person :)

valid? 😐🙏

I’m so sorry to hear that :(

I didn't do well in middle school that I ended up my zoned school as I live in NYC

Hey, I'm sorry about that, but listen-
You're so much cooler than them, they'll never understand what it's like to be held in the arms of a fluffball who loves you- please, don't listen to them. I know it's hard, I've been through similar stuff, but you gotta know, we're all here for you. Through thick and thin. And personally, if you were in the pound, you'd be my first pick. :D Don't let them upset you, they're just being stupid kids. They think "oH wE'rE sO cOoL wE mAdE fUn Of A fUrRy" but really? They're just scared little children, afraid nobody will love them. You don't have that issue, we all love you. Please, think nothing of them, and don't give up what you love. I can't guarantee there won't be issues in the future, but we're here for you regardless. Now go have a great day, I won't take any more of your time.

I have a lot of time so dont worry about wasting it, the good thing is that I get to come home from a shitty day and hang out with more floofs

Good for you! Please, enjoy that time. Make the most of it, to make up for a sucky day. I wish I knew you IRL, I'd give you the biggest hug.

We might know each other you never know

I live in Oregon, United states-

Ive Been there and its beautiful! Im in Utah

Good for you! I've heard it's really pretty there!

Its hot, and freezing rn

I love this cold front coming in early-

It was 30 this morning

It was 20

WOAH- lucky you! Or unlucky, if you don't like this weather-

Which part of Oregon?

Clackamas, you?

I was from Some place in Florida around Charlotte county, but my mom was born in Vancouver, Washington which is allegedly Portland, Oregon's sister city.

Cool!

Have barely lived in Florida despite being born there, but when I recently went there, it was beautiful.

Good for you!

I've got to go for now, but I'll be on tomorrow. See you then!

bye

yeah... listen, here's the thing. Middle school is filled with a bunch of kids trying to prove how "cool" and "based" they are, usually by singling out the ones who are different from the most powerful and popular people in the school. Here's some advice:
1) If they're yelling at you, just ignore them. I know, I know, it's hard. But just put some loud music on, try to tune them out.
2) Don't be afraid to fight back. If they're surrounding you, threatening you, stand up for yourself. Bullies love themselves a person who will just take in all of their insults and internalize them. Make sure to show them you're not going to just take it.
3) Don't be afraid to tell a teacher. Look, being a teacher's pet is much better for reporting bullying because people will know that if you hurt them or yell at them you WILL tell the teacher. Snitches are usually better off than others when it comes to bullying.
4) Talk to your parents, the school counselor, anyone in authority, about what happened. Don't be afraid to make a big scene to attract people's attention. If people know about your situation, they'll probably help.

If the bullying gets too extreme, you can, and should, visit a therapist.

indeed

I'm sorry this happened to you. Whenever something like this happens to me, I just say "I'm not an animal." and then walk away. It works 90% of the time.

Im.a say "im not the one meowing and barking like one"

Furry haters are just inconsiderate angry grandpa's.

fr

me to the people who bullied you:

I’m sorry this happened to you

Middle schoolers are the cruelest pieces of-...

I find the best way to combat bullies with regards to a more socially awkward subject, like being a furry, is to have friends there who can support you.

I do, my gf is telling the bus driver, the principal, the counselor and everyone else with the power to get rid of him, but I can call the cops for harassment

they just lost their life privileges,

😐

your right middle schoolers (like me) are f**king stupid just ignore them or cuss them out. either or

bro

if your school is against furries don’t publically be a furry
