Answers:
well it sounds like you cant afford to be vegetarian!.!. which eating is more important at the moment than helping animals (even though i love helping animals and i am vegan)!.
but!. try to find cheap veggie burgers!. i know some are like 4-5 dollars a box of 4!. but you may find some fore maybe about 3-4!. so get 2 boxes of those and that will last you 8 days!. and buy maybe 2 bag of frozen mixed veggies in different varieties so that you can get different vitamins!.
also!. maybe you don't need all those supplements!? maybe switch to a multivitamin!? i went vegetarian and now vegan and i dont need to be on any supplements at all
so lets say worst case and you get 2 boxes of veggie burgers at 5 dollars!. + 2 bags of veggies and your total comes to 15 dollars at most!. 15 x 4 = 60 dollars!. but!. if your parents make side dishes of veggies you can maybe just buy the boxes of veggie burgers!.
and for clothes wise just buy a pair or 2 (if you dont have ANY) of plain jeans!. trust me no one watches what pair of jeans you have on!.
you have 15 shirts you can go 2 weeks w/o repeating shirts and 3 school weeks!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your choice does not have to impact your parents at all!?
14 is young to have to earn your own living and pay for food!?
Good for you for sticking by your ethics in a family that doesn't understand - that's what makes you pretty strong willed in life!
I guess you are talking about some allowance your parents give you!. You have impressed me, if you haven't impressed your parents they must have hearts of lead!
Once you are clear of school and earning your own way you won't have to worry and hopefully your parents will respect and appreciate what you have done ethically!.
Good for you for standing by your own personal ethics!.

Eating a healthy vege diet requires a fair amount of effort - eating whats essentially a healthy vegan diet more so!. Be careful about these things, especially at your age, because your body is growing constantly!.
Unless you are willing to put a fair amount of effort into coming up with things to eat (think tofu for protein, leafy green veg for iron (very important, you might need iron supplements) etc) i'd recommend you wait a few years till you're closer to the final product as such!. And i'm speaking from experience, i was a vege from age 11 (been vege for about 12 years now)!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'd say, prove to your parents that, eating meat shouldn't be the only thing in life!. I mean I'm doing just fine as a vegetarian, and I'm the only vegetarian in the house!. So, my parents don't quite support me either!. They just think I'm on crack for quitting meat cold turkey last year!. But for the saving money, I'd cut back on entertainment, and only getting clothes when you absolutely need them!. either that or pick up a little babysitting job, like once a week or something!.!.that might help Www@FoodAQ@Com
being a vegetarian is stupid in my opinion, its not worth risking ur health by not eating the animals GOD GAVE US TO EAT besides by not really even eating anymore ur hurting yourself more than the animals, also people will always be killing animals u might as well not let them go to waste and eat them too- sorry this is a negative answerWww@FoodAQ@Com
Hmm!.!.!. Well if I were a vegetarian I'd try and get the meaty kind of vegetables! You know things that taste good and fill you up, potatoes are good, wheat products such as bread or other pastries, rice, you know you could also look up some recipes online that way when you make a meal you could fatten it up some with some oils!.
