    im 14, and my family and friends are 100% percent against it. i cant get any of them to read or watch anything about what they do to to animals, and my mom and i talk about it all the time and she just says im way to young and its so unheathy. ive shown her that it really isnt unheathy and that i will still get nutrients, but she still wont let me.i even use the alternitives to milk but i always have to go back to using real milk and eggs. Any one have any advice about how they got their parents to let them go vegan?
    o i am a strict vegitarian. i dont use anything that test on animals, i dont eat gelitan, seafood, or meat…ovbiously

    My eating habits were already… ehh.. weird. And I think when I was a young child, if they tried to get me to eat something different, I just wouldn’t eat. That’s how I got them to let me be vegetarian (although I didn’t think about it that way- I just didn’t want to eat meat, along with most everything).
    So while my mom didn’t like the idea, she wasn’t going to not let me do it and not buy me food.

  • veganvixen

    As an eclectic Wiccan, I respect and worship nature and do my best to preserve its beauty. With this worship comes the respect for Mother Earth's creatures, and I have chosen a vegan path in order to lessen the suffering.

    Yeah... I already graduated college, but I never left school! I've been a teacher ever since! Right now I'm in Taiwan teaching English to sweet kids, and of course I always share the message of compassion towards animals with them.

    Ello All. ♥ I never am really quite sure what to say in this section of any of my profile's I've had on social networks... No matter what I put I feel like your never going to get an accurate depiction of who it is I am unless you really get to know me.

  • winerycow

    Im 17 years old about to turn 18. I have been vegetarian since I could remember. Tried meat for a year when I was about 14 and then stopped. I drink wine every once in a while if you were wondering about my profile pic. Yes I am classy like that. Anyway, stop animal cruelty and support gay rights and marriage equality!
