I am 14 years old, 15 in 3 months. I am very small. Only about 5"2 95 pounds but i hate to eat meats and fish. Are there any pills that can give me the protein my body needs? Money is somewhat an issue. Thanks =)

No no pills for proteins.
there are protein supplements/powders you can buy at health/drug stores or big grocery stores, maybe wal-mart too.
you mix them in milk or water and they come in various flavors, vanilla, chocolate, cookies'n cream etc. some brands taste amazing some, not so great. they come in big jars and some have 23 grams of protein per scoop, some have 30.
but they can be pricey! you can maybe Google protein powders and see they prices, they're all different. oh yeah and look for "whey protein".
also, soy products are very high in proteins and are good for you.
and yeah, alot of things i'm sure you eat have protein in it, just maybe not as much. also you should be eating atleast 1500 calories daily to gain weight.
good luck and i hoped i help buddy.

you can find protein in other places, nuts (peanut butter included) are a great way to get protein, and I believe bananas are high in protein as well.
Vegetables, if eaten correctly, can provide you with all the protein you need (thats how vegetarians do it)
But don't do pills or bars, thats all synthetic protein, just plain bad for your body (and don't do half of what real protein does) so eat walnuts, have a peanut butter sandwich, and get your fruit for the day by eating a banana, and you should be good. But you can always ask you're parents or doctor about it if you need any more help.
I'm sure theres other high protein food too, look it up, and ask about it.
But definitely do natural protein.

Beans have protein. I have to add you are at a critical age for final development into an adult. You must learn how to take better care of yourself. Not eating meat is one thing, not knowing how to supplement your diet is dangerous. Go to different websites, and figure out what foods have what, and what you need to build a stronger healthy body. If your worried about protein, there are defiantly other serious flaws in your diet.

Why pills? Why not veggie protein? I'm sure your parents can afford beans etc. after all it's way cheaper than meat. Using pills as part of a diet is a bad way to go.

you can go into any store like a GMC store and buy something called Whey or Mega-Whey. It is protein and can be made into a shake they have different flavors and such as chocolate vanilla strawberry etc. It helps you bulk up if thats what you want and just gives you the protein you need.

No, yet i did attempt to a brilliant sort of cases to eat soup with a spoon, fantastically if a soup is thick (you are able to thicken the soup effectively by ability of including some flour). It takes extra time, so I take exhilaration in it longer

There is plenty of protein in beans, legumes, dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs) and soy. You could give that a try.Protien is a very impotant part of your diet.
