i want to know, should i tell my parents who i am? i mean being a furry is a nice feeling, knowing that i belong in the world but what if they don't understand?
-
I haven't told my parents. I might if they ever asked about the "strange" habbits I have, but they never have. I've told all my friends and they all seem fine with it. It's really up to you whether or not you tell anybody, but I can tell you from my experience that it feels great telling somebody about it and not keeping it to yourself.

thx philly and also do you know where i can get a decent fursona creator since i can't draw?
-
Honestly I have no clue. You would have to ask some of the other people on here. I got my avatar off of deviant art.
-
ok thanks philly
i wonder if the high school art teacher can help me?

ive made my decision: i have a adolescent guy councellor thing. i think i will tell him first. get the load( and excitement beating heart and adrenaline) off my chest. then slowly work the courage to tell my parents. although no way they would let me wear a fursuit. good idea?

You can find one here:
male version - http://tony64.deviantart.com/art/Create-A-Fursona-v3-Male-102858106
female version - http://tony64.deviantart.com/art/Create-A-Fursona-v3-Female-102858263
Or you can ask if someone wants to draw something for you in our art requests board here on the forums.

I draw fursonas for free, but it may take awhile. XD You can count on me!
I wouldn't tell my parents myself because even though I'm proud to be a fur, I would probally be kicked out for it, and I wouldn't have anywhere to go. Tell them if they seem like they'd take it well, because like Philly said, its better to not keep things secret, especially from your family.
-
thx shadow. i think ill start off with the councellor. it is a start. i wont worry you about my fursona yet i still need a little work on him
-
Telling parents is difficult, it all depends on how open they are. Me I'm 26, I've been a furry for at least 10 years now and I JUST told my mom. You have to be prepared to take what you get as a reaction from them.
-
Yea I think I'm gonna probably wait that long too XD
-
lolz. ive been asking around at my school about their take on furs. not the worst answers. although a kid said he thinks they are *ahem* hilarious. meh who cares right?
-
What exactly did he say was hilarious about us?
-
no idea. something about 1000 ways to die and furry killed by bear or something i wasn't listening
i wouldve told him to shove off but id have 5 guys on my chest for doing so
-
Oh yea, I saw that episode. I'm still trying to figure out if the guy actually thought he was going to make love to an actual bear, or a person in a bear costume. That's what shrooms do to you.
-
lol whats the link? not that i really enjoy that stuff.
modification: nevermind i saw it. man big bird? hmm not up my alley
-
I'm really not sure if there is a link. I saw it on TV.
-
I think there's pretty much a lacking point in telling your parents, consider it telling your parents your a goth... Or an emo... Or a gangsta. Just let them look and you and think you are who you are, you wear what you want, you are who you want to be.
-
I never really had that problem, nor will I have to worry about that happening. My mother was the one that pointed it out to me in the first place when I was browsing this fursuiter's page on DA and she really liked it. I guess she was the reason I found this whole community. She even said that she was interested in it, but she says it would be weird for her to become a fur since she isn't a "young person".
One thing you could do is break it to them gently. Stage it, in a way. Like just pretend to browse the Internet and pull up a page talking about furries. Bring it up to your parents and see how they react in the first place to furries. And if they react positively to it, you can tell them you are a furry. If they react negatively, try dropping subtle hints. Coax them gently into being fond of it.
I may not be the most helpful person but hopefully some of that was useful. :)
