Answers:
I'm sorry about your 'rib incident' : / And that nobody is taking you seriously as a vegetarian!. When I first became a vegetarian, my parent's friends would often ask "How long is THAT going to last!?"!. Nobody was convinced that I was going to stick with it, and that made me really frustrated and angry!. But guess what!? Now I'm a vegan! So not only did I prove to everyone that I would stick with it, I also pushed even further!. So stick to your vegetarian diet and ignore the comments!. After a year or two people will realize that you ARE serious about it and will give you the respect you deserve!. Hope I helped and good luck :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Honestly it is probably because of your age!. Young teenagers are not known for sticking to things!. (friends, boyfriends, interests!.) And the older people in your life have watched you go through a lot of different interests and "favorites!." Keep steady and time will prove you right and them wrong!.

And even when you are 23 and still a vegetarian some people still won't get it!. YEARS after my sister went vegetarian my clueless step mother was still serving her turkey and wondering why she wasn't eating it!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

im a veggie since i was 12, im now 21! my dad still offers me meat and fish at dinner time, people who eat disgusting decaying animal flesh just cant understand why you dont, and will always assume its a phase! even my best friends still say t to me!! ya just get used to it, i always just say we'll see, maybe your right but I dont want it right now so get over it!! keep it up, its a much healthier way of life!Www@FoodAQ@Com

they just want to eat meat with you someday, they probably miss it, you know eating a hamburger with you at the same time as them!.!.!. if my friend turned into a vegitarian, i would look forward to the day they want to eat some meat againWww@FoodAQ@Com

You need to meet some veggie people!. They're nicer, healthier, and have a purpose in life!.
You can get knowledgeable on vegetarianism/veganism and teach them a thing or two!.
Go Girl!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

At your age many of you opinions will change!. But you have to show them that you really mean this!. I went vegetarian at 13 too and 5 years later i'm still a vegetarian and now the people who once doubted me no longer do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It okay just ignore them!. You shouldn't care what other people think or say about you!. I don't!. My mom made me put allot of ground meat in a bowl today It was freakin gross! lol Just stick with it and they should come around!. =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

they think vegetarians or vegans is not normal like LGBT peoples!.if you ignore them they'll eventually stop even if they don't it's your life not theirs let them said whatever they want!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

same with me, only im 14!. teens aren't known for sticking to things!. just wait a few years, and they'll eventually learn you mean business!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's not, only to those who aren't fully commited!
I was a vegetarian since I was 12, 7 yrs later, I am now vegan! And I know I won't go back!.

and grosssss to the ribs,


GOOD LUCK!Www@FoodAQ@Com

don't listen to people, theres nothing wrong being vegetarian!.

Some people just can't comprehend not eating meat all the time, for every meal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

they are close minded and unwilling to believe that actual real living people chose not to kill for their taste budsWww@FoodAQ@Com

Same thing happens to me!. they just think it's too unlikely!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have not eaten meat for 58 years!.!.!.don't worry about it!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maggie, you promised that your vegetarianism was only going to be a phase - before going vegan! Don't let me down! Go vegan, girl!Www@FoodAQ@Com
