only if you become one of those annoying vegans that constantly chides people that eat meat.

You can eat vegan and take supplements also. When you get pregnant you will probably have to add foods you don't usually eat for the childs sake.Other than that I have heard that the vegan diet can be really good for you,but I would wait until you are done growing.It could be really unhealthy for you because you are still a child. You can eat really heathy though until you are old enough to become vegan.

If you don't get all 8 of the "essential amino acids", your health will suffer. Meat contains all 8. Veggies contain a variety but you really need to be aware of this.

I'm a nurse and a vegan you will be fine. This is a healthy lifestyle, go for it. This will prolong your life not hinder it. Take care and all the best.
