Answers:
A RIGHT track of TRANSITION as i assumed!. WELCOME to STRICTEST VEGETARIAN!.!.!.dear "pescetarian for 6 months"!

The word "vegetarian" is a generic blanket term used to describe anybody who does not eat meat, poultry, fish, or seafood!. This encompasses vegans and also the various vegetarian sub-groups!. Vegetarians are generally those people who have chosen a diet with far less restrictions than those chosen by a vegan!.
The differences between the various vegetarian sub-groups may appear to be small, but they are very important to the members who belong to each groups!. In many cases the distinctions are important dietary or ethical decisions taken by the individual!.

Here are the various vegetarian sub-groups:

SEMI-VEGETARIAN
===================================
Semi-vegetarians are people who have chosen to live a lifestyle which is not strictly vegetarian!. A semi-vegetarian may be a person who only eats meat occasionally, or perhaps doesn’t eat meat, but eats poultry and fish!.

1) Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
Ovo-lacto vegetarians are vegetarians who do not eat meat, poultry, fish, and seafood, but do eat eggs and milk!. This is by far the largest group of vegetarians!.

2) Ovo-Vegetarian
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
Ovo-vegetarians are people who would be classed as vegans if they did not eat eggs!.

3) Lacto-Vegetarian
--------------------------------------!.!.!.
Lacto-vegetarians are people who would be classed as vegans if they did not consume milk!.

VEGAN
======================================!.!.!.
This is by far the strictest vegetarian sub-group or category!.
A vegan is a person who has chosen not to consume any animal products or byproducts!. Some will even so far as not consuming honey and yeast, and others will not wear any clothing made from animal products!. Veganism is a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose!. Vegans endeavor not to use or consume animal products of any kind!. The most common reasons for becoming a vegan are ethical commitment or moral convictions concerning animal rights, the environment, human health, and spiritual or religious concerns!. Of particular concern are the practices involved in factory farming and animal testing, and the intensive use of land and other resources required for animal farming!. Veganism never stops at eating habit alone, but continuous journey beyond!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Print out some information on how healthy being a vegetarian is and give it to them to look over!. And explain to them that this is something you're really serious about!. If you show them that you have done your research and are making a mature, informed decision, they'll be more inclined to go along with it!. also, if you now just eat fish, honestly it shouldn't be too hard for you to eliminate fish from your diet (unless your family cooks a lot of fish)!. I think that you've already stopped eating the foods that are hardest for most people to give up (especially chicken), so hopefully your parents will see that you won't be going that much further than what you're doing currently!.

Just stop eating fish!. Lucky for you, the only dead fish bryprocudt is isinglass, which is a gelatin made from fish bones!. It's also rarely in food, so you don't really have to worry about it!. Just stop eating fish!. It's simple!. Make sure nothing has isinglass in it, and you'll be golden!.

Good luck, feel free to email me if you have any more questions about being veg!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you are your own person
eat what you want to eat
don't let your parents or anybody else make the choice for you

my parents were against me being a vegetarian, but i just went full on vegan!.!.!.i started making my own food and didn't eat anything that has meat in it!.!.!.
now they are proud of me Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hey you have the right to eat the food you want as do they!. But people should never force their views on other people!. Personally I enjoy a variety of food and could never live off just plants!. But good luck to you and just stay the course I am sure it will all work out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you took all other animals foods out fish should be easy! Good luck :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
