I also highly recommend rading the book 'Generation V'. It's written by, for and about teenage vegans, and covers a wide range of topics including dealing with parents, dealing with friends, getting out of dissection at shcool, nutrition, recipes and more." http://blog.veganfreak.com/shop/shop_books.html

I think I've jumped on board with the organic movement more than I have with vegetarianism/veganism. This just doesn't seem practical to me, and I don't see any advantages going vegan has over going organic.

@chromeboi Being vegan is about not participating in the violence of animal use. 56 billion other animals are tortured and murdered for our pleasure each year. Being vegan is not about us, it's about other animals. Consider joining our page facebook.com (slash) livevegan

Good for you.  I have been a vegan for 16 years and like you I have only gotten healthier. It is a positive thing to do for yourself and the world.

I wish I started being a vegan as a teenager. Good video.

@TheHeartbreakinDiva The American Dietetic Association -- a mainstream org -- states that being vegan is completely healthy. Please view BostonVegan(dot)org it makes suggestions on recipes and nutrition. There's literally 1000s and 1000s of recipes online and 1000s of vegan books. Tell your mom not to worry. Be nonviolent.

@LiveVegan I'm a pescetarian at the moment and have been for 1 and a half year, now i want to go vegan and my mom flipped out and told me that it's unhealthy and a lot of stuff she would do if i wanted to go vegan.... she's sick! what do i do? i really don't wanna eat the pasta we are having for dinner cause of the eggs.

@vegantree i started when i was 10 well more vegetarian because i still ate ice cream at the time and cheese pizza now i eat a pizza that has no cheese just the marinara sauce and the bread

I agree. People always argue that we're on top of the food chain. Maybe so, and maybe then we are entitled to eat animals. But in NO WAY are we entitled to abusively manufacture them. Breed them, use them, discard them.disgusting.

you´re cool boy ;-) PEACE from Germany !!! ONE VEGAN HEART

[smileyme1997]

Have you found that you area lot healthier now than you were when you ate meat/animal products? Because I'm 13 and wanting to be vegetarian, but don't want to freak my parents out :)

Excellent video. Nice to know there are people out there with the ability to think for themselves at such a young age.
