Gay Scottish liberal furry atheist seeks e-fame via the medium of LiveJournal
Furries?
Take this kid to school. Damn.
Well, I’d rather he learned about furries than some restrictive religion.
That’s really sad, actually. Yikes.
Dont Be Stupid…
Let The Kid Folow His oun Way.
If He Dont Like It, May Be Its your On Stupidity.

t undrestand and fursecute us for being how we are furry is a VALID lifestyle and you sonw ill grow p a hatter and on use somethingawful if you let him go to resal school!
If this was real and not a joke (which I doupt), this asshole deserves to be beaten to death. And I say that as a furry.
Looks like that entry was deleted on the homeschooling community on LJ, but the account is real. Crazy stuff.
This person is ridiculous.
Gay 16-year-olds often have 7-year-old children.
Children who grow up in a home environment such as this should be entitled to go on a killing spree at anthrocon. Anyway, the world would be vastly improved by the suddent death of these autistic perverts with a persecution complex.
Furries voted for Hubert Humphrey and the Killed Raptor Jesus.
7 years? It’s about time to begin the teachings of the flying spaghetti monster!
The teacher called child protective services just because you “barked” at her? I’d like to hear the teacher’s side of that story.
You know, some animals eat their children. That might help.
While there is nothing wrong at all with homeschooling your child in your practices, whatever they may be, remember, they also need to know about the world outside as well. They are people just like everyone else and they need to be informed so that they may make their own decisions in life. If you are not exposing your child to a more social environment (i.e. other children) then they will be forever incapable of interacting with the world. This child is obvously making a cry for help for just that - social interaction.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…*gasp*…ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…
Get your precious little twinky enrolled into a regular school now. You aren’t equipped, emotionally, to home school.
i’v seen kids that are f*ed up because they have NO social skills at all because they were home schooled i’m sure being a socially akward freak will help out in the real world you have to learn what is kosher and what isn’t when it come to socializing with peers
parents should be locked up, to many whackooooos out there
The intolerance that still exists in the world today is mind boggling.
Wow. All I can say is that with some of the atrocious spelling and grammar put forth by public school advocates on this thread, you’re not making a very good case. In fact, you’re making a stronger case for avoiding them.
The clear falsity of the original post not withstanding.
I can see things in my mind……..sometimes the future or current……..i see you living in a trailer………..that’s it i’m blank.
So, you barked at his 1st grade teacher, she retalitated, then you retaliated (against whom, exactly?!) by taking him out of public school because of that trite, lame-assed “the state deosn’tt teach fundy religion” mantra??? You’re raising a restless, agitated kid — grow up and do your job as a parent.
“Furry hour”: for the love of God….
Your child is expressing what is perfectly right and normal.
You are an idiot. And no child wishes to be the child of an idiot.
He is an intelligent child and deserves public schooling.
He needs interaction with other children his age, he needs to grow thereby…What you are doing is stunting his growth and selfishly keeping him from the world around him…
Despite what dangers may lurk around every corner, there is a G-d who looks out for every child ever born. May He smite thee and free your child from your “furry” clutches…
Amen
If he’s rebelling, they aren’t his beliefs anymore. It’s hypocritical to keep him home if the school system doesn’t respect your beliefs. The child isn’t going benefit from this sheltering.
Also, the teacher called child services because you barked at her. That sounds like a mentally unstable trait to an outsider, don’t you think?
I hope this is fake. Don’t tell me they breed now!?

THE PRODUCT OF A PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION! LMAO
Thanks for the flying spaghetti monster reference, was not enough anti-lol here.
stop sheltering your kid and let him be with his peers or little johney will become a sociopath
I may be opening a can of worms.. but what on earth id “Furry Hour”????
lol sounds creepy to me
As one who homeschools to upgrade my 7 kids when they don’t make the grade, I find many of the ‘cultural’ homeschoolers to be paranoid welfare check grabbers who find the idea of acheivement as the problem. The athiest ones are the worst as they usually gravitate towards hippy/wiccan ‘cultural’ training to fill the extra hours in which maths and English are usually taught. I can spot a life long home schooled kid a mile away by:
1) his/her slow diction, lousy english skills
2) high drug and alcohol use+early pregnancy
3) strong tendancy towards cynicism and atheism, hopelessness and uselessness
Have you tried beating him? Not hard but just enough so he doesn’t explode in a pile of hitler shoes. Just saying
Since I’m a fur trapper My kids have always enjoyed skinning the furs from beavers ,squirrels and coyotes from an early age. Perhaps his father is not giving proper instructions. This 7 year old probably needs to be given a sharp knife , an airgun and after a little backgroung about his place in nature (as primary predator) and be set free in a game rich forest. It is great to be human and the only way to understand it is to experience it.
CHILD MOLESTING
You’re Doing It Wrong.
YIFF IN HELL!
Good thing the son isn’t going to be a yiffer.
Your child wants to be socially interactive with anyone else but you. He is tired of you, day and night, you you you. He is acting perfectly normal, he knows instinctively that being with you all the time is not healthy, even sick. You are not the center of the universe and your son needs children his own age to learn with. Surely there has to be one school that is up to your standards, go find it and send him there. If he continues to be socially isolated he will start taking out his aggression on small things at first (insects, animals, pets), then he will graduate to other children and eventually - you. I don’t think raising a murderer is your intention, so end this home schooling nonsense before your son ends up having to spend his life in a prison or mental institution.
I think the guy’s LJ account name speaks for itself.
As a furry I say you’re a dumb ass. Teaching it like it’s some kind of religion…It’s a fandom based off of CARTOONS and ARTWORK. You’re kid is right…It’s stupid.
So, let him go to school with the other kids!
I think home schooling is a crock.
i say let the son go to real school, i’m Homeschooled its the worst thing that ever happend to me! i only have one friend in RL becuse of that! don’t make your kid suffer like i did. hey you could always just let him try it out, and if he hates it you could homeschool him agin.
and the barking thing was just a bad idea, you have no idea how many times i’ve wanted to do that or some thing like it, but i don’t becuse i know there’s a time and a place for that kind of stuff, and i’m only 16.
Before you attempt to educate your child, you should first learn to be a parent. Lesson 1) One does not attempt to reason with a seven year old. They lack the capacity for reasoning, but they are all master manipulators - all of them, including your little angel. You walked right into it. Score: Junior 1, Mom 0. Lesson 2) Three year olds throw tantrums. When a seven year old throws a tantrum, one paddles his little butt and puts his nose in the corner for a half-hour. After he comes out, he apologizes to everyone present. Lesson 3) If he doesn’t cooperate and complete his lessons, privileges are taken away.
Grow up before you atempt to be an eduacator.
Maybe if you laid off the “Furry Hour” he might take things a bit better. Of course, all the homeschooled kids I know grew up to be freaks, probably because of Furry-overdose. Maybe you should send your tot off to public school, where he can choose to be an emo on his own.
Yiff in hell, furfag.
Did this man just say he “barked” at his sons teacher during a Parent Teacher conference? Does he mean literally barked? Or like, yelled at her, like barking orders? If he is barking at teachers and teaching his son about “furries” I am very concerned for this child’s future. This man is obviously unstable.
zOMG!!1! cnt bleev NE1 wudnt wn2 taK part n furry hour! YA RLY!!!
Damn furries, you disgust me. Go buttrape a horse or something…
BArk!! BARk, arf arf, grrwwl.
Well now, in my day we would just fry their hides with switches or loops of wire, then pour alcohol over the cuts. No one died and everyone minded their Ps & Qs after that.
I have to agree that you need to ask yourself: if you home schooled you child for him or for you?
Either way the child will need to be around children his own age to grow up healthy. If you must home school him then you have to find an activity that will allow him to make friends and live a normal life. Try something like Karate or a sport but he just can’t be around you all the time.
I think it would be best to put him back into the school and just be extra careful about how you behave with the teachers.
Furfag attepts to convert child.
Child rebels.
Furfag becomes butthurt and makes post about it.
YOUR beliefs and practices??? What about your CHILD’S beliefs and practices? Apparently they are in conflict !!
Now stop being a BAD PARENT and let your child go to school !!! With luck, he’ll grow up normal, unlike YOU!!! Don’t shield him from the world, from life! Let him experience right and wrong without any of your coddling him to become a pansy!! And for crips sakes, let him eat steak if he wants, be gay if he wants, go to whatever church he wants, watch TV and play video games!
I hate parents who try to shelter their kids from reality.
I home-school my kids. We’re devout Christians. Our kids love homeschooling.
WE DO *NOT* DO ANYTHING WITH ‘FURRIES.’
Keep it real.
The kid’s teacher that called child protective services over your barking is definitely a cat person. Next time, have a spray bottle handy just in case she goes near the phone. Bringing a dead bird or mouse as a gift, and dangling string just within pouncing distance will gain her favor.
Please, somebody, call me uneducated if you will, but WHAT IS FURRY HOUR?????
I am a bit frighted to know what “Furry Hour” is exactly. Furry is not a subject to be taught, or a religion to be preached, or a life style to enforce on your children. If you do so your frankly missing the what furry is really about and feeding the sterotype that we are weirdo freaks! You barked at his teacher, I don’t care if your a furry you don’t bark at people, that’s the same as screaming at them! Your making being furry a requirement for him, of course he’s going to rebel, being furry is something you chose to be not something your made to be! You might try just teaching him school subjects and explaining furry to him when he ASKS about it, rather that forcing/enforcing the subject. If your a furry that’s fine, but you child might NOT be and it’s unfair to try and force it on him. Frankly the more I think I about the more I wanna punch you in the face, people like you are just the kind of zelous nut bags that make me hate all organized , and to think you’d take the furry fandom which I love and twist it into a religion infuriates me!
This child is surely going to grow up and be a social misfit. I feel for the poor child. This whole story gives me gay.
It has been documented..time and time again. Home schooled children, tend to learn more…, however…on the real deciding factor…IE…life and the work place…they tend to be withdrawn…anti-social, less likely to succeed then those that have a public education….think about that submitter…I doubt you will. But thought I’d try. my email is acs_krogers@msn.com…I’d be happy to debate it with you…I do have children, as do my sibling. She tried home schooling, but relented to public school, her children are smarter, but still lack the social skills they could have had. Food for thought.
c’mon people. This is a joke -_-
do the kid a favor - put him up for adoption.
Is there any possibility here that the ‘barking’ the OP referred to was not literal, ‘Furry Hour’ is simply an hour set aside to teach the kid about animals, and the OP was unfamiliar with other meanings of ‘furry’ until they saw these responses?
Imagining the look on their face is priceless. You’ve opened up a whole new world for them….
IF I am correct, which I may or may not be, then I will answer from that angle since no one else seems to have done so: Your child needs social interaction with other kids. Maybe putting them back into public school is an answer, maybe private school if you can afford it. Maybe just regular visits to the park outside of school hours to meet some other kids to play with. Maybe put them in “after school” day care so they can meet some other kids.
Good luck.
(If you ARE referring to what others here think you are, then those here who have been advising you to let the kid be what they want to be have the right of it. Your child will probably want to learn about the things you do, eventually, on their own - kids like to be like mommy and daddy, at least some - but I’ve never met a kid that didn’t grow to hate things that are forced upon them. Also, you may want to seek some professional help. Not because you’re a furry, but because barking at a teacher and trying to teach about being furry to your child this early indicate that you’re having problems setting boundaries appropriate to your social contexts.)
I was home schooled and I turned out fine I have a VERY lucrative business raising hamsters and gerbils Tell your kiddo that furries are a delight and that he should hang in there!
i am also a furry and i teach my kids all about snarfing, biting, nuzzeling, and expecially blumpkins.
I would suggest positive/negative feedback as a great and effective learning tool.
We use it on our children with great success. If the child is not cooperating then give him the leash and cage. If the child is cooperating then apply positive reinforcement with a beggin’ strips or an alternative doggie snack.
Whatever you do don’t give in! The Furry fight with be right!
Disgusting. Parents who home school their kids should teach them stuff they need to know, not idiocy like this.
You should sit in an outhouse for a week.
Although I understand your plight… I can attest that it’s solely because of my home schooling background that to this date……. and now I am 30 years old…
that I still HATE Furry Hour…
GRRRRRRRRRRR
All kids hate home schooling at first, years of proper conditioning pay off and by the time he is 11 or 12 he will do and say anything you want . He will be just like you and agree with every thing you say. He will be insiteful and creative and good with people , just like you. Don’t give up hope!!!
anyone who thought this was real should take their own advice on child rearing
Ok, I really thought you meant ‘barked’ as in to protest loudly but it really sounds like you mean bark, like arf, arf. Holy crap are you people serious?! Is this somehow different than taking valuable time away from your child’s education to teach them about The Muppets?!! THESE THINGS ARE NOT REAL!!!! These are ideas a human made up in their little minds to entertain CHILDREN. Two important words there, entertain and children. I’m pretty sure as the grown up you’re supposed to know that. Here’s one more way to exploit freedom of speech and freedom of religion as to make both facits usless and meaninless in this society. It’s called a hobby, lady. Get a new one, you’ve gone too far!! It’s not the homeschooling he hates, it’s the reaction he gets from other kids his age right after he says “furry hour” and right before they kick his ass! Good job, you could have just named him Sally and saved us all the horror!
I remember that thread and commented on it! :p Trolls are fun to play with sometimes!
this is a good example of parenting gone to hell. your seven year old doesnt need to hear about alternative lifestyles like freaky furryism. he should be doing math worksheets not worrying about your proclivity to bark at people.
instead of laying around trying to lick your own nads why dont you put on some human clothes find a nice doctor and get to the root of your own issues and most of all quit harassing your son with furrism. he doesnt want to dress like some kind of idiot and you really shouldnt make him
btw im being nice compared to whats coming you done been farked you freak of nature and poor dress habits
Now, let’s assume for a moment that this is real and not just a troll.
The point of the post is that the parent is asking whether any other homeschooled children have gone through a “I don’t want to be homeschooled” phase.
No, a mandatory “Furry hour” is not the answer, but regardless, the furry aspect of it is /not the point/.
Stop the fucking flaming.
You’re going to damage your son for life. Homeschooling doesn’t necessarily guarantee a better education, and from the lifestyle you’re describing, probably guarantees that he’s going to lack a good education. Why don’t you set an example for your son and quit the nonsense that you’re practicing so that he can grow up into a productive member of society with a chance at meeting someone.
The only thing you’re doing right now is setting yourself up for a whole lot of resentment when he grows older. He’s going to realize the damage you’ve done to his social life once he gets out of the house, and apparently he’s already starting to. Nobody is going to accept him if he continues to practice “furry hour.” 99.9% of the population will reject him, and he’ll grow up alone and as a pariah. Although once he’s free of you, I would expect that he has more sense than you and will conform to those around him.
Send your son to a regular school so he can pick up on some social skills. Abandon “furry hour” or your son will be the laughing stock of all his friends and grow up to be a self-hating person with anti-social tendencies. I’ve read case reports where situations like this were the beginning of a serial killer’s sad story. Seriously. You’re not setting him up to be a success.
I know the prominant furry rumors. There are very few furry families, and only a single one which could be this fanatical… and it’s not them. If it were, it would have been posted from one of their own LJ accounts. I call troll.

Okay, I thought this was funny, because it’s obviously not real. Two things that aren’t funny, however, are the miserable grammar and spelling in almost every comment above, and also the misguided beliefs about homeschooling. I began homeschooling my 7 year old son last year because he was falling behind in math. (He was in a class of 26 kids, and I thought he would benefit from a much smaller class size.) He is now 2 grade levels above where he was in math, and 6 grade levels above where he should be in reading, writing, spelling, and science. We are part of a homeschool group in our community that has over 400 kids, and there are activities every day. He swims, is in Scouts, takes guitar lessons, and plays soccer. One of the 12 year old girls in his homeschool group just completed teaching a summer class on the basics of Ancient Greek, which my son loved.
So, point here is, I don’t think he’s going to grow up to be an illiterate cave-dweller. Not everyone homeschools to shelter their kids or because they’re religious/anti-social/just weird. The kids our homeschool group are some of the smartest, most polite and well-spoken kids I’ve ever had the pleasure to be around.
Relax, folks.
wtf are furries
all homeschoolers are scum
Okay guys–this was a JOKE. From the poster’s own livejournal:
“Okay, I was going to wait a while longer before posting about this but it’s pretty much exploded since it got onto the front page of Fark. The threats have just been pouring in. Some funny, some not so funny.
This: http://www.photobasement.com/my-son-hates-being-homeschooled/
This was a satire. I have not and have never had a son. If you thought it was real, well… YHBT, I guess. (And if you’re going to be all butthurt about that, then you really need to examine your priorities in life.)
Honestly I’m amazed how many people thought that it was real, and never imagined it would suddenly spring up two years later and go so far.”
Listen, Sarah, nobody cares about you homeschooling your son. You’ll eventually dump him off into a school like mine, or worse, put him into a private school to become a maladjusted weirdo.
GO PUBLIC SCHOOL!
Defenestrate….you do know what that term means right?
“Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. ” Thankyou Wikipedia :3
So in actual fact, he wants to be thrown out of a window, which can be arranged. A quick trip to the London Eye and wait for the top of the ride :3
This is taken out of context. The furry was actually trolling a parenting community on livejournal. He doesn’t actually have a kid and was just messing with the real homeschool parents.
“trying to teach about being Furry to your child this early indicate that you’re having problems setting boundaries appropriate to your social contexts.”
= Folks, I think what the OP’s satire was driving at is that if you substituted the word “Bible” for “Furry”, all through that posting, everybody would’ve had some verrry different reactions…. Nobody would’ve suggested going to a psychiatrist for “force-teaching” a Bible Hour when the kid doesn’t want to learn about it.
(Even though they, y’know, obviously SHOULD, because it’s the same thing: adult-appropriate material that breaches people’s social boundaries & has no place in basic schooling.)
Actually what the OP was doing was cracking us up, because that was a very funny stunt indeed. This reminds me of all the wide-spread brouhaha on part of certain Christian websites who didn’t realize that The Onion’s column by the woman who “just couldn’t wait to have another abortion-party!” was fake. XD Worth a whole week’s worth of giggles.
Furry Hour:
* also known as sex education
* also known as “this is where you came out of mommy”
okay sad as this is, it is real i can give you my word on that. i was googling homechooling about a month or two ago, and i kid you not, i came across this, on the actual site.
