how do i get people at my high school to stop making fun of me for being a vegetarian?

Question

these idiot girls think they're all that and make fun of me all the time for being a vegetarian. i've been a vegetarian for two years and they need to get over it by now. they say stuff like "shut up! go eat a carrot" or "here comes the treehugger" and stuff like that. i really hate these girls, so i don't care about offending them. what should i say? i'm trying to come up with something that will really shock the $300.00 jeans off their skinny little butts. any ideas?

Answer 1

You don't, you won't and you can't. Just ignore them and understand that they're ignorant bullies. I'm not a vegetarian myself but I understand why some people are and I think they're just a little smarter than the rest of us.

Try to hang with people who understand that looking, dressing, thinking like everyone else is bad news. It's the free-thinkers, like you, who create whatever progress we have in this world. However, understand that sometimes new ideas work and sometimes they don't. Be prepared to try new things but to discard those that don't work for you.

Meanwhile, eat what you want. (But make sure you're getting the proteins, vitamins and minerals you need.)

Answer 2

Tell them that they will all need surgery to look good past 25 (and you won't honey!!!!) That they have upto 5 years worth of undigested meat in their (bleached) colons and that meat is indigestible and just lies rotting in the gut.
Quote passages from the non-fiction classic 'Fast Food Nation' by Eric Schlosser where he mentions the unsafe and insanitary conditions at an Large American meat plant!!!
or tell them that Some poor worker trudged through blood, guts, brains and other offal in wellies (galoshes - I think!? I'm a Brit) and plastic over clothes so that these bubble - headed cheerleaders can have a medium rare steak!!! If all else fails just keep visualising your High School re union and how these bimbos are gonna be stuffed full of implants and sillicone and nipped and tucked to within an inch of their pointless lives and looking like 3rd rate drag queens/Pete Burns (Look him up on Wikipedia!!!!). Where as you will look great - Naturally!!!

Good luck, and remember hold your head up high!! You are better than that lot put together!!!

Answer 3

It is so cool to be a vegetarian. Look at all of the classy vegetarians there are in the celebrity scene. Chris Martin of Coldplay was voted sexiest vegetarian last year.

Don't bother with them. You keep doing what you're doing--being you--and ignore them. I don't see why these girls would be so interested in what you eat; shouldn't they worry about the food that is on their own plate?

People don't realize how wonderful vegetarian foods can be. It's not like you're walking around with carrots hanging from behind your ear. If there is an opportunity to have a potluck at school, bring in something superb and show how cool this way of eating can be.

Answer 4

I think you need to give them up. You sound like you're hurt when they tell you to go away (even though they use your vegetarianism as an excuse to tell you to go away). And they must mean something to you because you want to get back at them, kind of like a revenge mode. These girls will not be in your life in the next three or so years as you go off and begin living your adult life. If you can survive school by being yourself, and finding out about yourself, and keep on loving yourself and what you are, you will be amazed at life on your own. You will be able to go and live your life freely and have any friends you want, or don't want. You can do that now, but you will have to learn to search them out now. There are many vegetarians, even vegans, in communities all across the world. And when you go out on your own, you will have the skills necessary to search out people that are just like you.
It is your life, experience how you want too. And it is all your responsiblity, not any body elses.
My quiet son the other day said somebody was teasing him about being vegan. The usual what you don't eat meat, that is freaky! and he just answered yeah, it is freaky and smiled. They didn't pursue a response to that and left it alone.

Answer 5

Just don't give them a response. That will just give them a reason to continue doing it. Eventually they will realize that their teasing has gotten old and will find some other way to make them feel better about themselves. You just know that you are being productive and do not need to add to the suffering of any other living thing...be that animals or high school students. Take pride in the fact that while they are being hateful and wasteful, you are doing your part in making the world a better place... which, to me, is a better way to measure your worth than the price or size of your jeans. :)
Best of luck... high school is not the real world...many people do grow up. Part of what makes people the fun and interesting to be around is what makes them different and special...not what some airhead 14 year old lables them.

Answer 6

How can one like twilight? This is a question that can only be answered by the greatest minds in the world! Hey everybody on yahoo, look at the loser trying to become a vegetarian because Kristina stewart is one! Ha Ha

Answer 7

Pick a couple of people off the list below that you know they think are really cool.

I mean really! Look at this list! We vegetarians are the coolest, smartest people on the planet!

Einstein, Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Edison, Ben Franklin, etc.....smart!
Andre 3000, Alicia Silverstone, Liv Tyler, Joaquin Pheonix, Davey Havok, etc....cool!

Good luck. Remember, you are making fun of them for eating rotting animal flesh, so you're already way superior!

Answer 8

First Of All, Im also a vegetarian! so should go straight up too those girls and say hoo cares if im a vegetarian because no one cares about u or u can say im proud to be a vegetarian altleeest im not a spoiled brat like u if u dont wanna say that *** up with something you think is best then later tell me how it gose im here for u

Answer 9

well what I did was get really healthy. I lost 20lbs and did a total make over and when they asked me how I did it I always responded "I'm a vegetarian." Even to this day girls as me how I stay so skinny and why I'm so pretty I just use the same response.

Answer 10

Tell them they are going to 'come back' as a cow or a pig and they will go straight to the slaughterhouse.
Find a movie for them to watch of what actually happens to those animals they eat. It will make even the most hard hearted people think.
Ignorance is bliss!
Meat causes cancer.
You have a voodoo doll that looks just like them.

Or better yet, just smile at them and say nothing!

I am sorry that you have to go through all this aggravation at school. It is a cruel world, and all we can do is keep our eye on the better things and ignore the creeps. Good luck to you.
