Losing friends 'cause of decsions


Question Posted Thursday September 16 2004, 6:10 pm

This sunday its been my one month aniversary with my vegetarianism. Though that kind of makes me sad because for 2 weeks my friends havn't talked to me. They say i've changed a llot, i dyed my hair from blonde to black, wear all black, and am really into rock (though i always have been) and, they ssay they wont talk to me because im a vegetarian! I started skipping lunch, A. because i just cant bring myself to eat. B. because no one to sit with. So i just wait outside (im 13 and in 7th grade)till the bell rings. And home, i lock myself in my room and say like 10 words...max. I just dont want to talk. *sigh* am i slipping into depression. I mean, why should i quit..i do have reason. Factory farms treat there animals HORRIBLE and my 'friends' dont beleive that! I brought my proof, (a book) and they refused to read it. I told them to go to www.meetyourmeat.com and they wouldnt! *sigh* im just so confused, sorry this is long.
Signed,
-.The lost last piece to the puzle.-

okay .... first of all your friends are just gay!! they wont talk to you because your a vegitarion!!! can you say immature!? you also need to give them some time to get used to the changes you have made and also go to lunch and show them that you dont care what they think be your own person not who others want you to be!

Those people you call "friends" don't really sound like they are doing their job. If they really cared and really were your friends, they would support you in anything you did. If this is the way you are, they need to accept that. Don't let it bring you down, find someone else to be friends with. It's their loss hun. Since you say you have changed though, it could be a little weird for them because they may not be adjusted to your change yet. You know sometimes the things you do, affect people who care about you...even if it's not that big of a deal. Hope I helped! =)

If you don't believe in eating meat because of reasons then don't... that is your decision not theirs. but dont starve your self! if they totally disown you because you want to be you then screw them its your decision on what you want to be not theirs. your friends should love you for you and if they dont they werent really your friends in the first place. Are there any other people who are like you... dress the same, listen to the same music then hang out with them. I'm not sure if you are going into depression or not because i dont know how you are feeling. If you are sad or mad or what. but i hope i helped! good luck.

I also believe you have made some wrong friends. Friends are people that support you, people that help you, people that are there for you. These friends of yours that you describe do not fit that description. What you need to do is to find some new friends who care about you and will support you in your beliefs. And please, eat! It doesn't have to be meat, but don't stand outside during lunch, that will only hurt you. Malnutrition sucks.

They arent your friends. Try writing your feelings out. Be proud....dont let anyone get you down! Hope I could help! :)

ok...not eating meet wont change the way things go on in slaughter houses...its called a slaughter house for a reason...and just because u dont eat meat, doesnt mean that ur not using a product that involves animals...makeup, lipstick, even hair brushes have things from animals...lipstick is tested on some animals...they dont necessarily treat animals bad...just because a book says that...they focus on the negative things, not the good too...but if ur friends think your changing then you probably are.

They are wrong freinds. Not be your freind just becouse you change outside and become vegertaian. they sould accept you who you are and tell them that not like you change inside only outside. so anway meet some friends who care and that they acceppt who you are... Don't get deppression. Change is good. maybe tell them that or ask they ever try change just fun of it or seee like be something else and more your self.. thing is dont matter out side or not eating aminml that your desicaon.. Don't worry bout they think couse maybe they can't handle change. I hope answer you looking for and hope i help

man, i was the same way about not saying anything, and staying in my room. i wasnt vegetarian or anything. that will eventually pass, dont worry

and if your friends hate you because you dont eat meat, thats pretty fucking pathetic and you should find new friends...seriously. you shouldnt do something you dont believe in for your friends...thats insane.

good luck my dear
