Unfortunately, you may have to wait until you're 18!. I can recall being 12 and wanting to be a vegetarian!. My parents said "No" because they felt that my body wasn't finished growing, and needed protein and vitamins!.
However, what they didn't realize is that you can eat other things that contain protein to make up for it (i!.e!. -- peanut butter, etc!.)!.
It's tough to be a vegetarian if you like to eat meat!. My boyfriend is vegetarian, so I follow his lifestyle -- for the most part!. Sometimes, I'll indulge in a steak that his father cooked at the beach, or have some chicken or lunch meat now and then!.
Have you talked to your parents about this issue fully!? If they've disagreed with you completely, then unfortunately you won't be able to live that part of your life until you've moved out of their house, or have the funds to buy yourself meals!. If they haven't completely disagreed with you, maybe you can give it another try so they'll cave in!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

My entire family is vegetarian except my older brother who is already in college!. We eat meat every night!.!.!.vegetarian meat!.!.there is substitutes for everything!.!.!.hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, chicken patties, ground beef, fahita meat - grilled chicken and steak, tempeh, tofu, seitan!.!.!.a lot of it tastes just like meat but some doesn't but it is still good if cooked right! You will probably need to cook yourself meals for a while, and let your family try things, they will like a lot of it, and my family have helped other families with this issue, and the parents end up using the meat substitutes because they are just as good or better than real meat and much healthier, just don't give up, save the animals, you are doing a great thing, you can get cook books also, and Amy's vegetarian frozen meals are also really good for a quicker meal!.!.found at Wild Oats or Whole Foods usually!.!.!.good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Stop eating meat, tell your parents that you are not eating meat and if need be eat some fake meats, there are so many out there and they are really delicious and some are really quite meat like!. I highly suggest if you cannot give it all up at once for whatever reason, than give up pork and red meat then give up chicken and then fish and eat less and less and enjoy some delicious veggies!. If you eat good vegetarian meals that you enjoy you won't need the meat but if you are eating steamed tofu and brussel sprouts, you are probably not going to want to quite eating meat (unless you like brussel sprouts and steamed tofu)
Though if you do want to do steamed tofu the most important part is flavor, use a highly flavorful broth to steam and you will be much better off!.
For me what I did is I gave up everything but seafood and then I just started eating less seafood until I stopped and since I knew how to cook and enjoyed cooking it wasn't hard!. It is important to know how to cook so you can be successful because you know what you like so you can make a dish how you like it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

why do you feel bad for the animals!. do you really think you not eating meat will change anything!? also, if we all stopped eating meat we would either have a world fully of chickens and cows, or we would have to kill them anyway because there would be so many!. plants were alive before they were taken out of the ground and "killed"!. why don't you feel bad for them!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
my whole family eats meat and im the only veggie, at first i would just skip meat and instead just have sides for instance if my mom made chicken mac-n-cheese and corn i would just have the mac and corn!. easy right!? my mom is way cool and when she would make like enchilandas she would make my cheese ones seperate!. i also learned to make my own meals and there are lots of meat!.!.!.um how do you say it!? like meat replacements or whatever!. veggie burgers, hot dogs, bacon and even chkn nuggets

well one thing the animal is dead when it is being served so no harm in eating it!. and besides the cows and chickens would be over populated if we didn't eat them and stuff!. i mean don't get me wrong i love animals but he meat is in our nutrition needs!. the food pyramid

Talk to them about it!. Explain why you want to go veg, and hopefully they'll support you!. The least they can do is make sure there's enough to eat at meals that doesn't contain meat!. When I was a kid, there were usually enough yummy side dishes for me to eat without going hungry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
