Can tu guys be friends with me a fellow vegetarian? because...

Absolutely! I know how it feels to be alone and made fun of por family. People are just afraid of what isn't familiar to them, although a vegetarian lifestyle is healthier. As tu get más experienced (assuming that you're relatively new to vegetarianism, because most people on this spot are), you'll find some real-life vegetarian friends. In the meantime, tu have our support here on Fanpop!

Sure! It is important for vegetarians to support each other. Let me know if tu want to talk!

And don't let the jokes get tu down. If tu stick it out, eventually everyone will see tu are serious about it and give up making fun of it. Be proud that tu are vegetarian! We are the minority now, but we are growing!

Sometimes people can be harsh when they find out you're a vegetarian, especially if it's still something fairly new to you. But don't worry, you'll make lots of friends here. :)

From my own experiences, the people most prone to anti-vegetarianism have been generally either immature o defensive.

Sometimes people made anti-veg jokes in school, but it was always from the crowd that enforced peer pressure - the ones that complained about anyone who was unalike them! So no surprise there. XD

Another group who I've known to be anti-veg at times are meat-eating animal lovers. They're usually the ones who get very defensive about it, but again if they're animal enamorados then that makes sense too. (not all meat-eating animal enamorados are like that though - many of them are completely understanding and accepting!)

Hmm, once I was told off por a meat-eater for not making proper use of my canines. That's a new one. :D They claimed, "we were meant to eat meat!" To that I say, "I'm not what I'm meant to be; I'm what I can be!"

It's not all bad though. I've had some funny experiences too. :) There was a guy in my college class who was really over-the-top aware about me being vegetarian. He once asked me, "do tu like dried fruit?" I replied, "not very much," and then he said, "has that got anything to do with being vegetarian?" He then acted like he didn't really know what he was talking about either. XD

But anytime tu feel like chatting I'm here. :) I've been vegetarian for over half of my life now, so chances are I can relate to a lot of the weird things other vegetarians go through!

I know this is kind of late but I want to still answer this question. So I completley understand your situation because I am 13 and I started being a Vegetarian about 3-4 months hace and it hasn't been easy. I mean my grandma won't even eat around me and my younger sister and parents tease me with meat constantly. Imean I am the type of person that has been subject to bullying but this was very strange coming from my parents. So what I did is I had to sit down and tell them that I was making a 360 turn in the right direction and that they had to support me. And over time they listened and excepted it and even tried it for a little while. So my best consejos to tu (if tu still need it) is to try and have a corazón to corazón and let them know tu are serious and comitted! :D

Of course! I know what it feels like to be lonely and it's not fun. I can't be a vegetarian until I grow up (which I find stupid) but we can help each other be ready for vegetarianism. People just think it's funny to make fun of us when it's not. Your family and friends aren't probably familiar with a vegetarian yet. As time goes por they'll get más and más familiar with it. I am also the only one in my family who's a veg too so you're not alone! :)
