My sister-in-law is a teacher at one of the local middle schools and runs an anime club after school. Wanting to teach the kids about the furry fandom, she asked me to come in to talk to them about it. I showed up as Blurby and really caused a stir! Teachers were running out of their classrooms to get a picture with Blurby XD

When I finally got to the club meeting I was immediately swarmed! I really didn't expect it, but the teenagers were really excited about fursuiting. After they settled down I was able to tell them about the furry fandom and it was heartening to hear how many kids said, "That's me! I love that stuff!"

My sister had already told me beforehand how a lot of the kids in this club have difficulties socializing. She was amazed how the students who hardly ever spoke up in class were really coming out of their shells. And I was amazed by how excited they were about the furry fandom. It was very heartening!

I've already been invited back by the principle of the school as well as most of the staff XD, so hopefully this will turn into a somewhat regular thing. I just hope that by doing this, at least one of those kids doesn't feel as alone as they did before.
