13 is NOT the time to start being a vegan. You are a growing girl and you need to eat healthy meat as a source of protein AND to help rebuild your iron after your menstrual cycle etc. You could damage your growth by not eating the right foods because you want to be a vegan.
As you are living with a non-vegan family it WILL be impossible to go entirely vegan, especially at the age of 13. I recommend making it clear to your family how you feel and stick to that, try at first to cut out animal flesh and then go vegan when you are in a better position to get wonderful vegan food/clothes/etcetera yourself.
my girlfriend wants to be a vegan too, but its sorta tough. you cant eat what your family eats. no meat allowed. then also nothing that is processed by any animals like milk, cheese, etc. You also have to know why your a vegan. is this to cut down on eating meat or not eat a cow? why not be a vegetarian? or are you against the idea of obtaining food from animals because its morally wrong?
Tell your parents that you dont want to eat meat anymore, and stop eating anything that comes from animals (ie. milk, cheese, whipped cream, ice, cream, eggs, and almost everything else worth eating...)
