Try livin in tennesse where all there is are ppl that eat meat all the time and make fun of me about it everyday of my life I even have trouble finding guys down here b/c they think i am a freak cuz i don't eat meat and my "friends" pick fights w/ me @ school over things like hunting..etc...and on here u always have ppl that are like get over yourself and eat meat but they just don't understand us ever need to talk email me :)
i do it's just not right.
I have that problem!
I just can't help making fun of carrot crunchers - Sorry!
yes everyone does. even bill clinton and chuck norris. but chuck norris usually eats the people who make fun of him, so maybe he isnt a vegetarian but a humanitarian!!!
No, I'm fine with eating meat.
All the time. Every family dinner.
But girl, don't listen to em.
They haven't seen animals being killed and blood gushing everywhere just for a F'n steak.
They want to stay in their fat comfort zones while they make fun of us veg*ns.
Thats amazing your mom is veggie. <3 Kudos for that.
I'm the only vegan in my family.
If they pull out the "you kill plants too blahblah"
just say "well at least i don't kill animals."
thats what i do.
<3

I know that some people think it's not normal to not eat meat, but they're still living in last century.
Who cares what people eat! Do what's right for you.
The same goes with religion, race and being gay too, people still haven't gotten over it.
No... but then I'm not a vegetarian... =D My best advice... tell 'em to go suck eggs. Being a vegetarian is nothing to be ashamed of. I could never do it (I have too great a love for pork and fish), but hey, power to you for being able to! There are way worse things they could tease you about, and really, if it's something you believe in, then they have no right to criticize! Power to the people!
Yes. People who eat meat often think we are lacking protein, but in all honestly you can get more protein from plant foods. It's just amazing how information deprived some people are.
they do actually just this morning i was watching a show of a lady who has 2 children and wanted a divorce with her husband because he was a vegetarian and the lady said they ate meat everyday she was very very very chubby and the man was muscular and kinda cute well I'm not a vegetarian but it doesn't matter i support you re opinion that's good that you're a vegetarian though
Don't let it bother you, seriously. Laugh it off or ignore it, but you know as well as I do- let someone know that what they're doing is getting to you and they'll do it all the more.
No it good to ease off the meat a little to clean out your system pulse it health too. If they what you like then go with it, Good Eating.
i am also a vegetarian.Why we should be bothered if anyone make fun of it? You do not bother about anyone,think you have done the right thing in your life,giving life to millions!!
Wish you a good luck and be a vegetarian.o.k. bye
heh. I have that problem, got it all the time when I wanted to be a vegetarian like 4 years ago but I ended up being a "flexitarian" because my mum wanted me healthy... people still thought I was a vegetarian so they called me veggie head.. now I'm a real vegetarian, more vegan but well yea, I'm not made fun for it, but when I tell people they're like "SAY WHAT?!" or "YOU DON'T EAT MEAT?!" they don't make fun of me now because I'm in highschool and could prolly whoop their bootay :P
those people probably doesnt have anything better to do, thats why they pick on you.
dont worry, you can laugh and make fun of them when they die before you
Yep, I have that same problem. My boyfriends mom who is in her forties gets it too. I just don't speak about it unless asked, that seems to be the only thing that helps. Some people just need to hear that you are a vegetarian and will pick on you. It sucks but at least we are all in it together!!!!
People always make fun of what they don't understand. It's just human nature. Be proud of who you are and of the decisions that you have made and don't let the ignorance of others make you feel badly about yourself.
most people dont beleve me becuase im not what they asume and skiny and unhealthy. not many have made fun of me laterly but i rearly do hate it infact one person who did a few years back met with quite a lot of pain from me im ashamed to say.
Posible due to the above things i dont get made fun of much compared to some people who are a smaller frame or look like they would not defend themself but im just speculating here.
if they make fun of them just remember they are the barberians and secretly laugh at them
Don't worry, you need not be a strict vegetarian. Be a fish eating (or seafood) vegetarian. Fish is harmless to certain extent, treat it as a food grown by pisciculture.
Be proud of being a vegee because it is the most hygenic and complete food. You can survive with exclusive plant food, but a person cannot survive exclusively on meat.
If its lighthearted, good natued teasing, then just lighten up and flow with it.The fact that you hate and probably react to it is why they keep on doing it. Remember, it is eerily fun to tease somebody who gets pissed but no fun to tease somebody who just stares back. But if it's to the point of being insulting, then you need to speak out or walk out.
I am not a vegetarian. But what people eat is their choice. I respect your decisions and the fact that you made a choice to eat what makes you happiest. Perhaps those that make fun are not happy with their own diet so they make fun or someone else's. If they can keep everyone looking at what you eat, they think, no one will notice what they are eating.
People always commented that it was cool--when I was in the army, and in line at the chow hall and came away with a plate of rice and vegetables (and the mess hall will give you all the veggies you want, but only one starch or meat.) No one had anything disparaging to say about it.
I don't have that problem.
Even if I am not a vegetarian.
I still like tons of vegetables.
Yes all the time. Scene I am a vegetarian I can't get gelatin this is what happens...
Most of the people at my school think that vegetarians can eat gelatin even though I know you can't. I got bugged about that for Months (I still do)
I haven't been sick in years now (vegan) so just let them have their fun.
This happened to me a *lot* when I 1st went veg, but after a while most ppl stopped bothering me about it. I suppose they were trying to tease me back into meat-eating, but that wasn't gonna happen. Occasionally someone will make fun of my vegetarianism but this is "their" problem, not mine.
Recently, a 9-yr old veggie boy in our family was teased by a classmate who kept following him around & saying "Hey, vegetarian boy!" but he wasn't really bothered-- he responded, "Yeah, I'm a vegetarian, so what?"
