so true

show them videos from this site of how animals are tortured and show them all the cheap vegetarian/vegan meals online

When I went veg in high school, pre veganism, I went throu something similar with my dad. He and all of his side of the family are hunters, while my mother and her side of the family are more free spirited and open minded. What I did to win my dad over was lay out all the facts on wh it would be a good transition for my body, how it would actually SAVE him money, etc. just try reasoning with them in a science based manor. Aside from the obvious compassionate reasoning behind going veg, there is science as well. So enough facts to satisfy both sides of the brain . Best of luck!

Try to convince them that being vegetarian has its perks. Show them articles, videos, whatever it takes. Or, start making your own food to show them that you’re serious about this. My parents were pretty supportive of me going vegan, (my family’s vegetarian) but were mainly concerned that I would get enough protein in my diet. Make sure your parents know that this isn’t just a ‘phase’, too.

They could try buying healthy vegetarian meals for the whole family.

Well, if you think it will help, you can just stop eating the meat they feed you, and make your own vegetarian alternative. Also, if you can take you serving out of meals where the meat is cooked separately, you’d still be eating the same meal. Also, if you buy bulk things, and freeze them, that is inexpensive, and can be used for veg and meat meals. Good luck!

I’ve had the same thing go on. They support me being a vegetarian but not becoming a vegan.

Well first of all, they probably aren’t going to spend twice the money to feed your than they are already spending if you are going vegetarian. Meats are really expensive right now. So actually you’d be leaving more meat for them to eat if your serving is cut out so they could buy you a few extra beans, veggies ect.. Just explain to them why you want to do it. I’m not sure how old you are, but perhaps get a job, even if just baby sitting to pay for some of your extra veggies. If they see that you’re that serious about it maybe they’ll come around.

I unfortunately dont have adive but i know how it is when family doesnt understand your choice maybe explain to them why. Dont be scared tell em how you feel or itll just eat you up. Be honest good luck

What kind of monstrous people would yell at their kid for wanting to be healthy? And like I’ve said as well as many other people have, you’ll need to learn how to cook on your own with inexpensive foods. Rice, beans, and salads will be your friends as no one really needs to buy pricy mock meats and alternatives or even tofu if that’s not available. Once you master the basics, maybe your parents will come around to acceptance, seeing how self sufficient you’ve become. Just remember, don’t be confrontational, don’t act out, try to understand their worries, and let your actions do the talking. Let them believe that you becoming a vegetarian was the best thing that ever happened to you.

so this has probably been posted a ton of times, but oh well.
i want to go vegetarian, but my parents don’t support it. i’ve told them before but i just got yelled at, probably because i’d be the only person in the house that’d bw vegetarian and they don’t want to spend twice the money, i don’t know. but now i’n scared to tel them again that i’m really serious about this whole thing because i don’t want to get yelled at again. does anyone have advice on how i could tell them? or even how i could talk them into supporting me? thank youuuuu.
