I am a vegetarian but all the kids at my school tease me, what should I do?
Answers:
First of all, realize that teasing is about the teaser, not about you. It is a fault in them, not you. This immature and unfair behavior goes on throughout life, so the sooner you learn to let it go, the better.
Then you might as a teacher if you can make a presentation in one of your classes about vegetarianism. Show how cool it is, how many of the worlds people are vegetarians etc.
Tell them some of the reasons people choose vegetarianism such as religious reasons, health reasons, and environmental reasons.
Even include the names of some of the celebrity vegetarians.
Good luck.
Nothing. Don't stop what your doing becuase they think differantly of it.
Don 't change because of them be your self.
u should throw carrots at them!!!
Tell them they are gealous because they aren't as diciplined as you. Challenge them to try it for a day or two, week or two and see how much better they feel. By the way I AM NOT a vegan but I respect those who are.
You should know.....
You don't win friends with salad.
juz avoid it...they r teasin u so leve dem on deir way...they cant do it...n u shud b proud tht u aint one of dem.......neva take dese things to heart...
Keep on being who you are...Individuality is very important for ones personality. You do not have to conform to anyone elses standards ......In the end you will be respected for who you are.
Ignore them. You're entitled to eat whatever you please. Consider that while they are teasing your they are leaving some other poor soul alone.
Continue to educate through example. Do what you can to educate others, and demonstrate tolerance!
I've been out of school for several years, and cannot imagine at all what the pressures of school are right now. All the best.
Eat meat. Life feeds on life, this is necessary, life becomes life. Even your carrots have a consciousness. harvest day for them is the Holocaust. Let me guess, you have very pail skin if you do not fake tan, kinda feel tired in the middle of the day. your muscles feel like jello not like a pork tender loin. If you say yes to any of these your heart is in jeopardy, the human body need the minerals and protiens found in meat. With out those you will have a short life span. My cousin was a vegitarian, like I said was, she died form heart complications due to the extereem diet and lack of correct nutritonal requirements.
fight back!
we are so much better than carnivores. unfortunately their brains are so dumb from all that meat that we need to constantly remind them how great we are compared to them.
ROFL
tell them;
well i reckon being a vegatarian is better than slaughtering animals. its cruelty. im not a vege, but some of my friends are :]
I would first change your name. Sissy 101 isn't doing it for me.
Then I would stop pretending to be something I am not. Be yourself, stop claiming to be vegetarian and speak out proudly as the meat eater you are.
Ask your parents to sue their parents.
Do nothing. Be proud of who You are. Be Yourself
They continue to tease you because they know it bugs you. It's a control kick. That or because they are uncomfortable within themselves and don't know how to deal with it and bugging somebody helps them not feel confused/uncomfortable anymore.
Don't react in any way, either than looking at them with kind of an odd look, like, "Well, aren't YOU weird!" or say, "Yeah, whatever."
You might also get some pamphlets on vegetarian/vegan information and hand them to the kids who start bugging you. "You comment on vegetarianism a lot. I thought you might enjoy this."
don't tell any one, or just call them fat and uncontrollable meat eaters!
You should stand-up for who you are and what you eat! Your food choices is your buisness, not theres! Just tell them you ARE VEGETARIAN! And your proud of it! Dont let them get to you....
Ignore them, and soon they will stop, it is only encouraging for them to continue when you "earnestly explain" your preference. Might as well make your food look interesting and tempting...
put raw meat in their lockers! then they will think it is gross, too.
Just don't listen to them. Just remember that you made a good decision to become a vegetarian. Just because they don't respect that it doesn't mean that you have to give in to their teasing.
They are just what i would call a meanie-butt.
ignore them.
My friends tease me too and I'm an adult. People never outgrow the fun of ridiculing our differences.
Make a joke out of it and tease them back for being meat eaters. Nothing serious, keep it light and laugh at their jokes as long as they're not just plain mean about it. Once they see you're cool about it and not going to sprout carrots out of your ears they'll lighten up.
If they are mean about it just ignore them and do what you know is right for you. Peer pressure blows!
ME TOO!
I just try and ignore them...i have got meat put on my plate when i wasn't looking...yeah..kids can be mean...but stupid. They don't understand how important it is to people. We are saving lives, the envirmeant, and a lot more things. Plus we are more likely to live longer and be healthier, as long as you know what to eat.
Its not that easy just to ignore them, i know but try to keep a postive attitude about it.. just be like
"whatever, at least i'm not eating ous and sores and poop!"
hahaha
hope i helped!
I am in the same situation as you, and have been for four years (since the age of 11). All I can say is ignore them, you have the right to eat (or not eat) what you like. And you can always speak to the teacher, with or without mentioning names.
Be bold and chase them with a piece of "scary tofu."
Because of being vegetarian?
Well, just don't let it bother you for one and they'll stop when they don't get a reaction. Don't bother fighting back, that will just help them do it more.
The girl in our school never ate meat her whole life. She just told everyone "I don't like meat (the taste)" and no one had a problem with that. If you just make it simple, then no one will notice. He doesn't eat mushrooms or onions, and I don't eat meat, simple. I'd never heard of the word vegetarian until I was in my late teens. So, just say, "I just don't, that's all" and most people will just say, "oh" and that's the end of it.
As a last resort, you can always do what my wife does and say, "I'm allergic". She finds that it's just simple and no one asks questions. It works because of liability in most cases. Because if someone sneaks some meat/dairy into your meal when you stated that you are allergic, you can sue them, especially when you get sick (sure, pretend to be sick, get your money).
Ignore them. Don't quit being who you are because other people are stupid. Good for you on being a vegetarian, It really takes alot of strength, and you should be proud of yourself. Don't worry about what other kids say. They are always going to find something to make fun of you for. And maybe not you in particular, but all kids are teased for something. When I was in highschool, I was the known as the girl with the blue hair, and I either got ridiculed for it or I got comended for it. I didn't care what people said though because I loved my hair, so you just have to put the bad comments behind you and learn to love yourself. And when you get out of school no one will care whether you eat meat, or not, or have crazy hair. The real world dosn't care.
put pics of animals being chopped up in there lockers!!
see if they still wanna eat meat!
Ignore them or try to explain why you are a vegetarian. They might teas you because they don't understand your reasons.
