Hello everyone.
I’m Lisa, 15 years old, and I’ve been a vegan for about three months now. Before that I was a vegetarian for about five months.
I think I’ll enjoy this community. Everyone seems really nice.

So what posessed you to become a vegan? I became a vegan at sixteen, but was a vegetarian for several years prior.

I became a vegan because it’s the right thing to do, and I couldn’t ignore that. If I believe in something then I’m going to go for it. Knowing what I know, I could never live with myself if I just sat back and continued an omnivore lifestyle.
I’m much happier now knowing that I’m not contributing to so many horrible things.
My older sister is a vegan, too, and it’s made it much easier for me to be a vegan. I can talk to her about insensitive people who have insulted me, I can eat her good vegan cooking, etc.
=)

Just be sure you're taking proper suppliments, especially calcium due to the fact that you're obviously still growing.
