Help/Questions With Becoming A Vegetarian?

I’m 13 years old and I’ve recently become a vegetarian.
But my mum says it’s a bad idea, and I have some questions I really need the answer to, and I really hope someone can help!

1) Does becoming vegetarian mean your hair gets less shiny and you get more spots?

2) How are free range/organic animals killed? Because the way animals are slaughtered is the reason I’m becoming a vegetarian, so are all animals killed in a cruel way?

3) How can I make sure I’m getting enough iron and getting a balanced diet, and not getting fat by eating too much carbohydrates in place of the meat? My mum doesn’t want me to get ill.

4) Is there a vegetarian version of spaghetti bolognese? It used to be my favourite meal, and if I did become a vegetarian then I’d love to have a vegetarian option.

5) Can you still eat fish if you are a vegetarian?

Thank you so much, and I’d love it if you could answer any of my questions.. :S
