During your time in school...

That's cool. I'd met other furs during highschool but never just by chance like that(I'd known them online prior or was introduced through other fur friends). I did run into a few furs at college in a similar way, though that was a far more diverse environment.

There are more of us than you think xD

I knew a bunch back in high school. Funny thing is, most of them didn't know about each other until afterwards.

I met two in high school, but none in my school. I was actively online during that time, and made arrangements to meet up with them.

The interesting story would have been how I met my mate, but that was very much after high school and not relevant to this thread.

...and I'm starting to get the vibe that my signature may cast doubt onto anything I say on here.

-If someone walks up to you and says they are a pathological liar, would you believe them?

This one wasn't a school meet, 'cause, you know, I'm 55. But a four years ago I wrote up a long conreport on my first Anthrocon that obliquely mentioned I work at the University of Michigan. A couple of days later I get email from some furs who are staffers at the Medical School asking obliquely if I was the person who wrote the review of the unusual convention he worked in Philadelphia. I replied yes, and it turned out to be my first intro to some of the Michigan furries.

<Insert small world cliche here.>

Well, there's bound to be more in my school. The one I met hangs around with mostly juniors and seniors, so if he knew anyone, he'd be sure to tell me. There might be some freshman, but I'd find it hard to talk to them seiing as I'm a sophomore.

I actually got into the community during high school when I met another furry--but there were no other furries actually in my school, but a small gathering of them in my hometown, at least.

Yeah, I've met several furs chatting online through anthrochat and on FA. I've only met one furry in person, this dude i met on FA, he was real chill. I go to a very small high school, so i doubt there are any other furries besides me in my class. Though, the story about that guy in your class, very sweet

got into the furry fandom way out of high school I did not even know about it, til the one day I went to a ddr tourney at my local mall, and I saw people wearing tails I went to ask them what its about, and they said the were furries so I got curious and I enjoy being a furry =3, that was like 2 yrs later when I was out of high school XD *class of 03 baby =D*

When I was in High School nobody knew what "furry" was. I didn't find out until after I graduated in 97.

Not me. But then my upper school (you'd call it high school) graduating class was 36, and i wasn't really connected to the wider furry world back then--just to this one small corner that was almost exclusively dragons.

Of course, there was this year--i knew my brother had a friend who's a furry; that's not so surprising. I just didn't know he was friends with a furry celebrity. *wrygrin* No big deal, i managed to put my jaw back without too much trouble...

Sadly, no I did not.

i didnt think there was any furrys in the town were i live but i now have found 3 of them! and 1 of them goes to my school and i didnt even no and he didnt think there was any furrys either but the whole time we got along and i always thought we had something in common but now i no its furries!!

not IN highschool, but in DeviantART, If I ever told ANYONE in my, poser "ghetto kid" school I go to (im the ONLY thrasher in the school) I'd be beaten to death and or teabagged.
