first off; don't panic
think things through first:
I've wanted to become a veg. b4 too, but I gave up
it's kinda hard , so try becoming a weekday veg at first,
only eating veg. on mon-fri.
If you can keep that up, then go ahead and tell your mom.
It's not like she can force you to eat meat...
but be careful and eat your peanuts :D

I would just sit her down and just be like
"mom i have something I want to start doing"
and then tell her you want to be a vegetarian
tell her to start buying some vegetables
I think you should do some more research because red meats have some protein and you have to get that protein
and tell your mom what kind of vitamins your going to need to take and all of that



you and your mother should have a discussion on you going vegetarian and the possibility of enrolling you in cooking class or home economics.you and your mother should also look into the following information:

wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia has information

on vegetarianism at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetariani…

and on veganisn at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veganism

vegetarian author john robbins, who wrote the groundbreaking book "diet for a new america" has a informational website on the life and work of vegetarian author john robbins plus other vegetarian resources at http://www.johnrobbins.info

you and your mother can try the one-word-a-search-idea on words such as: breakfast, cereal, lunch, sandwich, snacks, dinner, casserole, souffle, desserts,and smoothies in the search box of the following websites:

vegetarian times at http://www.vegetariantimes.com

and on veg web at http://vegweb.com
