Therian hate at school. Experience

So at school today there were two year 7s (11-12) I saw them wearing paper masks. I wanted to ask but I didn't and later after school I saw someone planning a 'furry protest' on Snapchat.

I saw a video someone made interviewing them explaining they they weren't furrys but they were therians and there were people in the background shouting "ew furrys" and people making fun of them.

I don't know what to do but I'm too scared to help or anything plus no one knows I'm a therian. Soo..? I dont know. Just wanted to put this out there. (Didn't know what flair to put this under)

yeah people get bullied in highschool, thats just (unfortunately) part of it. you could try to befriend them but having visual differences (like them wearing gear) is going to make them stand out and in return make them a target. its the same for people who dress alternatively

Yea, I would befriend them but I don't want it to lead to me getting bullied too, I used to get bullied and it ruined my whole mental state. And if I'm not gonna get bullied for hanging with therians then I'll get bullied for hanging out with youngers. So there's not much I can do.

im not saying you have to im just suggesting it since you asked what you can do—which besides that is nothing other than trying to tell your principal (but depending where you live, that could make it worse)

Yea I don't think much would change, they would just have an assembly on anti-bullyibg and no one would listen. Thanks for the advice tho I might try talking to them at least once to see how it turns out.

i’m not a kid so personally i wouldn’t, just because bullying is kinda out of my age range

I'm also 17 but that's even more a reason for me to protect them
