I'm a vegetarian and my family doesn't respect or or even accept my decision. I'm 15, and my parents respect my decision and help me as much as they can. It's my other family members that don't. I've always been the source of stories and jokes, with my strong beliefs, clumsiness, and honor roll grades. I thought they were funny at first but as time has gone on they have become more hurtful. Last Thanksgiving was a disaster. I had ham dangled in my face with oinking noises, turkey thrown on my plate over the rest of my food, and was made fun of. One of my uncles repeatedly called my decision stupid and was asking me why I chose it, and when I say that it's my choice,not his, and that I don't call him stupid for eating meat, he just kept saying that he thought I was smarter than that. He kept pushing it until my other uncle finally made him drop it. My cousins then harassed me about it and rubber turkey and ham on my face until I started screaming and crying. Every family event is.....
