Post and Talk about your Collars! And why you wear one

[JYNXthefox]

my parents dont like my collar they say i look like a dog

I can not image what it would be like to have a parent who didn't approve. I mean I wear a tail when I go out. Not to work or anything but if I am just running errands I do. My mom thinks it's a laugh. Doesn't approve but doesn't not approve. My mom has never been one to tell me (and my siblings) to or not to do something. She always left it up to us.


I am sure I will get a weird look leaving the house with a collar on but that's as far as it goes. the best thing I can say is just don't wear it around them. What they don't know won't kill them right? I am just guessing since I don't have any experience in that matter.

my grandma bought me this studded collar/choker. I wear a lot. mostly when I wear black clothes and darker outfits. (Which is most of the time lol) so yeah. and when I put it on it feels fine. after about 9 hours of straight wear it does get a bit itchy, don't know why exactly, but yeah.

Ah, so they see it as a bad thing? 1. Ask them why, 2.restate and downplay, and 3. Downplay its prevalence example-
Parent(p)
Fur(f)

P- why do you even WANT to wear the thing?
F-why not? Why do you not want me to? (This is step one)
P- BECAUSE IT IS NOT NORMAL!!
F- so you are worried that I won't fit in?(step 2 part A) mom, I'm doing this so I won't fit in, I don't want to be the same as everyone else, I want to stand out and apart, I want to be my own person and not have conformity turn me into something I'm not, parents are supposed to encourage their children to be themselves and not become something to fit in, if I let conformity tell me what to be, then I'm not being myself, I'm being normal, this isn't even about this, it is about me making my decisions, if we lived in newyork it would be "normal" to be in a gang, mom, I wan't to stand apart (step 2 part B , sorry fire got lit)
P- what about what everyone will think?
F- I probably won't even do this for long, the school counselor said it was a phase or something like that.

It's all okay on Halloween

But then as soon as your family sees you wear one AFTER Halloween, they tell you to stop wearing your costume

My collar is blue (if you know me you would know everything i have is blue) it was an adjustible one (couldnt afford the nice ones) i was very open about wearin it until my mom said that it was stupid and she didnt want to see it again ( so she dosent only my friends do lol)

[Scout the Fox]

[ArcticSkyWolf]

Time to wear a collar for Halloween! Yeah! I feel like swapping back and forth with my spikey black collar and my normal black dog collar.

[JYNXthefox]

[Scout the Fox]

[anoni]

I've haven't wore my collar in ages o.o.
I keep forgetting

[JYNXthefox]

ok it goes like this...my folks keep getting me in trouble and tessing me about it. they ask what it was about i told them. they still don't like and dont care if they like it or not. they said that if wear it they would "disown me" or what ever it is but we all know they wont. they dont have the guts to do it. so they wouldnt let me leave. so i couldn't wear it and i was going to ask out the only other fur in town,Alex. alwell there is always next year
