Welcome! Lucky you having a friendly advisor on hand. Good luck!

Hello Everyone,
My name is Meg and I am new here. I decided yesterday to become a vegetarian. I have done animal rescue work for the last two and a half years and have 2 dogs and 5 cats. I think the main trigger was the 143 million pounds of beef recall, but I also thought that if I stand for animal rights then I need to stand for all animal rights not just the small furry ones.
So my boyfriend doesn't think I can keep it up, and I have yet to tell my parents, but I am turning to my friend Sarah who has been a vegan for the last 4 years and a veg for 7 years before that. So any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you everyone.

Welcome!
I'm guessing, by your post, that you're a teenager. In which case, you should check out the teen forum!

Is there any reason why you havn't told your parents?
