Family, friends, and fellow peers aren't supportive of me being vegetarian AND kinda make fun of me for doing?!
well i will start with family!. this is mostly my mom!. she thinks that this is a BAD idea and often says im gonna get diseases and stuff which is bogus! she also cant except it and pretend i don't do it!. she offers me stuff like chicken nuggets bacon salmon etc!. we got into a long argument because i didn't want to eat salmon because im a vegetarian!. my sister kinda just nags me about it saying stuff like im not really one and just seeking trouble and attention!. im not! im doing this to live a healthier life and to save all the animals! now my dad doesn't really mind that im vegetarian, he actually supports me!
now with friends!. they put meat in my face!. taunt me and say i will eat meat again, which i wont do! they throw meat on my lunch box and bug me about it!. they say im obsessed with it and make fun of me!.
now my fellow peers (classmates) say stuff like 'i ate a big fat burger last night, it was good!' and other stuff like 'i ate turkey for lunch and im gonna have steak tonight'!. they say stuff like meat meat meat meat around me and i don't like it!.

Honestly,
It's a phase!.
Not you, they are going through the phase!.
Many vegetarians give up!. It sounds like you are seriouse about it and will not give up!. They still think you will!. Just tell them in a polite way to stop and wait a few weeks, if you do not react, they will do this less and less, until virtually everyone stops!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

show them the videos of the cows and other animals most not all people treat farm animals as if there just meat and nothing else it makes me so sick!.Im so glad your doing this shows that u have a good heart im not saying that those who eat meat have a bad heart well good luck it takes allot of will power to become a veganWww@FoodAQ@Com
they are just doing it to ammuse themselves!. like when my bro bugs me in general i just act like hes not there!. he eventually gets bored and stops!. same with this situation!. i feel bad for u bc all of my friends and family are supportive of me!. so just ignor them and they will get bored!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the truth is, it will never fully stop!. there are always people who will want to drag you down!. but just keep thinking of the animals! that will pull you through!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

YOu will get questions and teasing esp!. at first, I did!. I sounds like you have unsupportive surroundings and that is unlucky!. The thing is to stick to your beliefs if that what you really believe in!.
