How do i tell my parents im want to be a vegetarian?!

Well, if you already have your reasons for wanting to be a vegetarian, just explain them to your parents in a sensible way, but be a little firm (I promise I'm not trying to get you in trouble!) If it's something you really want to do, don't let them talk you out of it, I mean after all, there are worse things than being a vegetarian if people consider that a "bad thing!." There are many health benefits to becoming vegetarian!. Meat takes a longer amount of time to digest and can cause other issues i!.e bad body odor when eaten in large amounts! Your parents will respect your decision if they see that you are sincere!. Being vegetarian is not that serious of a decision, but it may be to your parents because I do not know them or how they will react, but I'm sure they're very nice, sensible people!. They will try to be reasonable if I am correct, and your dad may even cook you meatless meals if he comes around like my mother did!. They're plenty of tasty vegetarian meals out there that your parents can prepare for you, and it might even be more fun for all of you if you cook together! Maybe you could make the suggestion that every once and a while you guys have a vegetarian night, and your parents can adopt your diet for at least one meal!. It might actually bring you guys a little closer together!. My mom tried to go veggie with me during my last year of high school, but she gave up after about 2 and half weeks, but I didn't really expect her to last that long even! Just be completely honest with your parents, and they will respect your choice!. I think it is a very sensible choice, but maybe I'm biased because I'm vegetarian ^_^Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am a vegetarian! I used to not be and then when I was 10 I just told my dad that I wanted to be a vegetarian!. Tell him about there is vegetarion chicken nuggets, hot dogs, bacon, burgers and theres alot of other stuff too so maybe he could cook with that!? And maybe if he fixes dinner that has alot of meat in it you can make something that has no meat thats a vegetarian meal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just explain to them why you want to be a vegetarian!. also be ready to explain how you plan on getting additional protein and iron since you won't be eating meat!. Do research so your parents will believe that this is a thoughtful decision not just something you are doing because it's cool, or a fad!.

As a parent of a teen, I would like to know these things!.

Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

im the only vegitarian in my family too and its really tough because you cant expect everyone else in your family to stop eating meat too and you cant expect your dad to stop cooking with meat
hopefully your parents will still support you
