  1. Vegan newbie
Hi. I’m a teenager who is fairly new to the vegan lifestyle. I’m coming here for support. I used to be on Reddit for that. But there was a series of events that led to a mental breakdown and me deleting my account. I got rid of Reddit and Discord because they were just too inflammatory and I couldn’t do it. But I realized I still needed support as vegan. It hurts to watch people discuss their favorite ways to cook meat and what leather clothing they want to buy. I want to learn how to effectively cope. I want to learn to be an effective activist. I want to be able to fight for the animals without doing the thing that led to a mental breakdown. So I decided to return to hanging around smaller forums for the support I needed. I hope this place supports me. Thank you.
 
Welcome on board! And congrats on going vegan - well done!

I think you've come to the right place: This forum is meant exactly for support, we have a small team of moderators and we do not generally allow anti-vegan messages. If you see anything that you think might violate our rules or is otherwise objectionable, please use the report button! (For convenience there is also a link to the rules at the bottom of every page.)
 
I don't think we have any teenagers here so it's nice to have you.
I actually read but not post to Reddit. And yeah it can be a little rough if you are sensitive.
but its not that way just for vegans.

And I will post here anything especially good that shows up on Reddit. So you probably won't even miss anything good. :)
 
Nice to have you here. I hope (I think you will!) find the support you need.
