I am the real Ferret Jester! by Ferret_Jest
So so sorry guys, I messed up and lost my account, but I figured I owe you guys an explanation. I'm not exactly the age I put down on this site, I'm actually a kid. Sorry about lying, but who would respect or listen to a teen? I'll repost my stuff soon, and I even have some new stuff to post as well! Ciao for now

(wow one year younger than me XD)
but if i remember correctly, you have to be 13 and older to sign up, so i dont understand the point in putting in a fake age since you're old enough to join but w/e thats not the reason why i asked
the point is that you'll get respect no matter the age! just, as long as you're not a total butt face to people, then you'll get respect! :D-
No, when I've told people they subconsciously act different.

What El Stomacho said. People who treat you poorly based on age alone aren't the kind of people worth knowing.

Eh, fair point. Nah, that does little justice to it. An excellent point

Well, your old account still appears to be up and running. If you lost it, who has taken it over?

It's a loooong story, and if you truly want to know, just note me and I'll explain most of it with a few holes in it.

Nothing like a fresh start, right? Clearing the air about your age is definitely the right thing to do. We here in the furry community (ought to) want to minimize your anxiety about yourself and your own identity, so try not to let your fears of rejection make too many decisions for you re: your conduct. But let bygones be bygones. Just be honest with yourself and others about your needs, because you can't do much about the fact that you have them. Your needs just are, and having self-respect means having compassionate awareness of your needs, and being courageous enough to ask others to help you meet those needs.
I had a hard time with this when I was your age, and in fact I'm really just now learning how to do this. If I had learned this way of framing social dynamics and inner-/inter-personal conflict 20 years ago I would have navigated those social waters with a better sense of self, and learn when to make yourself vulnerable when appropriate, and when hold back when appropriate, cultivate an awareness of your own boundaries and those of others. If you work very hard to maintain a mindset of "frame every interpersonal interaction in terms of boundaries," over time you will be rewarded. Won't always be easy, but it will be more rewarding if you relax and accept yourself despite the horrendous messages that are floating out there. Cling to joy and cling to compassion.
Regardless of how people do treat you, you deserve respect because you are a human being. Furries ought to be the type to know better.
