Pros: and they out weight the cons, are: You are helping our environment, you are supporting an animal cruelty free lifestyle, you are sticking to what you believe in and that will make you a stronger person....you will feel great...you will be supported by other vegetarians, we love vegetarians :) you will probably start cooking more and being more aware of food.... Do some research and find out why, then talk with your parents, be smart about it, don't get sick...I wanted to point out some cons that people about your age have talked about, but seriously....try it out. :) good luck I will be honest….and start with cons, because there are some.

In my family I am the only one who does not eat meat. Just ask them to be supportive in your decision. The only con I can think of are over-priced veggie burgers/other vegetarian foods at supermarkets. You may replace the iron in food with iron supplements. Although you can find those nutrients in beans, lentil, avocados, and other vegetables. Well being a vegetarian is not hard at all. In my family I am the only one who does not eat meat.

Educate yourself on how healthy a vegetarian diet is, and you'll be able to defend yourself when ignorant people ask questions like "how do you get enough protein?". There are so many pros, I don't have enough room to type them. You're helping the environment, you're not supporting animal cruelty, and you're protecting yourself from serious health issues such as heart disease, and many types of cancer. If you'd like help transitioning, let me know, I've been veggie for a very long time. It’s true that you’ll get made fun of for your beliefs.
