Congrats,
first eliminate red meat, then pork, chicken, then fish. You can choose to eliminate eggs then dairy too if you wish. Some tips which may help you:
Talk to your folks before you do it.
Buy or borrow some good veggie cook books. Learn to cook and improvise with what you’ve got.
Make sure you eat a variety of fruit, veg, nuts, beans, legumes and get all your essential nutrients. If you’re concerned see a nutritionist.
Stay in contact with other veggers n vegans for moral support.
Subscribe to news letters to stay up to date.
Good luck =)
This is a good site…

Good for you wanting to become a vegetarian! I was for a year and I couldn’t take it anymore. I just stopped eating meat thats it. It wasn’t that hard.
Good luck!=)
It’s not strictly for vegetarians but it includes vegetarian options:

P.S.
I heard the first 3-5 days are the most difficult. After that it’s smooth sailing. Good luck!
Don’t eat meat!
Good luck.
Read and research how to make sure you get enough protein as a vegetarian. Buy 2-3 cookbooks as well, so you don’t get bored. Moosewood is good, and there are magazines. Of course you need to clean out your kitchen (or use up gradually) the stuff that is meat-related. Then make some weekly menu plans so you get used to making a vegetarian meal. Be sure to get enough protein–it’s critical!
There are a lot of websites devoted to the vegetarian lifestyle. You might try:
the vegetarian resource group http://www.vrg.com
or
you can order a free vegetarian starter kit from PETA at http://www.peta.org
or
you can join vegetarian message boards at http://www.veggieboards.com
or
you could buy the book Becoming Vegetarian by Melina and Davis
Good luck!
Give up meat. Learn how to eat a lot of vegetables, grains and fish.
Try this one..

Not a site, but a FANTASTIC book:
Skinny Bitch by by Rory Freedman.
If you read this, I doubt you will have difficulty becoming a vegetarian, or even vegan. It gives a month of meals and snacks, as well as recommendations for soy brands.
This book is LIFE CHANGING. I was a hearty meat eater before reading Skinny Bitch, and am now stocking my fridge with tofurkey, bell peppers, and "veggie cheese".
Read "Diet for a New America" by John Robbins. It worked for me! Link below for Amazon.com. It looks like there’s a DVD now too.
Good luck!
These sites have lots of transition tips and food ideas:
