So I convinced them to let me go pescitarian 5 months ago, then about a week ago I asked to go vegetarian and if I could then I would lije to go vegan. They let me go vegetarian(not very happily) but I still really want to go vegan. I am in a really tough situation though.
My Grandad owns a sheep farm and has previously owned a dairy farm, which my dad grew up on. So my dad is super mad and angry that I would even consider going vegan! Not to mention that I also go to have lunch with my grandparents every week normally, before covid. My mum nearly let me go vegan but my dad is kinda controlling over her so if my dad isn't convinced, knowone is.
I tried to show my mum the Dominion documentary but she said it was too long, then I found a quick dairy video exposing it by Earthling Ed. But now my parents are even MORE mad at me because they say "You're not looking at the good side of it!". Which there is none apart from the farmers(which I guess they value over a life). Plus my mum then said "We will just buy organic because it's way better" and "nothing like what is in the video". Then, I explained to her how it still isn't good because they take away the baby cow's. However, ofcoarse my dad had to intervene by saying that they "get over it". Which why would then the mothers and baby's cry for days?!
To make matters even worse, my mum is a doctor! She says I will be unhealthy and says if we can't get vitimin B12 from plants the diet is not natural! I showed her chronometer, and messaged her the documentary "What The Health" (which she probably won't watch).
My parents, as far as I know of, are pretty wealthy. So money really isn't an issue. I go to a private school.
To be honest I don't eat that much eggs and dairy since I have tried to be quite persistent, however if someone offers me something like a cookie at school and everyone eats them, plus I have no excuse then I sort of have to eat it. Plus my mum and dad sometimes just shout at me until I eat their food if they want me to.
My grandma, who has know passed, also had a calcium deficiency and her back looked really bad. So my mum is scared of that, even though I showed her how I could get enough. I am also 13 and one of the shortest in my year.
My parents have also started using the new excuse "Knowone is vegan at school" and "None of your freinds are vegan" which is true but not a very good excuse. I had to get packlunch because the school meals for vegetarians were HORRIBLE and full of goats cheese which does not only taste horrible but is also cruel.
I am quite a shy nervous person however at this point I am willing to give nearly anything a try. Please leave anything that could be of any help!
p.s. Sorry this is so long
