Agar agar is a vegetarian alternative to gelatine.
Am sure most people know where gelatine comes from.

Yes I'm 12 and I knew that ...I told my Grandma once and she is so stubborn she didn't believe me! Anyway I am a vegan so yes I do not eat Gelatin(in jello) or dairy or meat, milk and eggs.

Yes, gelatin is made from animal products. And if someone truly wants to avoid it, avoid these products:
gummy bears
sour cream
cream cheese
cake icing and frosting
marshmallows
soups, sauces and gravies
canned ham and chicken
corned beef
sausage
Gelatin is even used to make the coating for pills that makes them easier to swallow. It's also in cosmetics, lozenges, and ointments.

Actually, I knew what gelatin was long before I became a vegetarian.

Well if its kosher its fine, that means it has no gelitan, if the product has a K or a U on the box/package, its kosher. Chicken has no gelitan either- you can get frosting, sour cream, cream cheese, fruit snacks, etc. kosher as well. Try international stores for kosher marshmellows. Jello brand jello is all kosher, so is philidelphia cream cheese.

Yes, I have always heard that, but never really researched exactly what it was that was in it, just did my best to avoid it. But it is amazing the number of people who have never heard that.

You can take vegetarianism as far as you want. For me, I just don't eat any type of meat...I do add organic dairy products to my diet..
Vegetarians, as a whole, do not eat red meat. Some also choose to exclude poultry (pollo-veg) and/or seafood (pesco-veg). Because chicken and fish are indeed meat, it's debatable whether most would call it vegetarianism, but they are accepted forms.
Many veg's, in additon to actual flesh, eliminate non-meat animal products like gelatin and caesin. It varies a lot, though.
Drop all meat, but eat eggs and dairy, you're "lacto-ovo-vegetarian"
Drop all dairy products, and eat eggs, you're "ovo-vegetarian"
Drop eggs in all forms, but consume dairy, you're "lacto-vegetarian"
No eggs OR dairy, plus, no non-meat animal products, including honey, and you're, by definition, "vegan".
Go even further, and eat only plants and plant products (nothing grown with bacteria), and you're "macrobiotic" *please note, some macrobiotics DO eat meat. There's more to the philosophy than being non-meat-eaters. So, it's not technically a form of vegetarianism*
Vow not to cook your food, or do anything but pick and eat, and you're "raw-vegan", "raw-macrobiotic", or just "raw".
SO, to answer your question, there are, in fact, EIGHT forms af vegetarianism. (macro's don't count) pollo, pesco, pollo-pesco, ovo, lacto, lacto-ovo, vegan, and raw.
