-So confused :[

Ah I'm so confused. :ack2: I need some advice!
I'll explain the situation:


I've been a vegetarian since 3rd grade. I live in this little hick town, where everyone deer hunts, has cookouts with just hotdogs/hamburgers, etc. etc. But I just remember thinking, "That's wrong. I love animals; why would I want to eat them?"


And I kept this up until 7th grade, when it just became so hard. I mean, nobody can leave me alone about it! So many people gave me crap for it and made it such a big deal. I don't understand why they are concerned about MY diet plan.

BUT ANYWAYS so in 7th grade I quit for about 6 months, because I thought it would be easier. But I would feel so guilty eating meat, like I was fooling myself into being somebody else.
Now I'm going into 10th grade, and I recently stopped again. It's just so much easier. Eating out, going to friend's houses, etc.
And it DOES taste good...


BUT I just don't like eating it. I've been off of it for a couple of weeks now. All I can do is think about it: vegetarian or not
It's such a hard decision. : / Any opinions?
​

 

so how old are you like.. 12?


anyway well you shouldn't care what anyone says... it's your decision, it's how you feel... them people are just going to get colon cancer and be eatin by worms when they die anyways.

 

Er I'm 16. :/ and it's not exactly what they think. It's like, easier eating meat. But I'd rather not. Eh, that probably doesn't make since.

But thank you for your input.

 

doesnt matter how old you are burntautumnleaves....doesnt matter what others think either!!!!! keep it up!!!

 

i think you should do whatever makes you happy, i've been vegitarian for 3 years now and i have had friends try to sneak meat into my food. if you do decide to go vegitarian you do need to set them straight that you do not appreciate being tricked and nagged till your ears fall off. once i told my friends that they left me alone.

i hope this helps.

 

Well it's up to you then, sister.

taste vs. morals

 

It's obviously not a hard decision. If you don't want to eat meat, don't eat it. Tell your friends to screw off and get over it. My friends are all meat eaters and don't give a shit what I do as long as I don't try to convert them.

 

Taste vs. Morals. That's a good way to put it.

I think FOR NOW I'll continue eating meat. You guys are right though, I shouldn't worry what other people think and all that. I might decide to go back, but I'm going to try eating meat for a couple of weeks. I feel better now, thanks!

 

thats terrible

i was brought up vegetarian and went out to dinner once with my fam. my step mum had a chicken nugget on her plate mixed in with her food. she complained and we all got our meals free
