there is this ONE kid, Eric, in my school, and he is giving me such a HARD time! It somehow spilled that i was a vegetarian, and most ppl were like "thats cool!" But most were like "what do u eat?" i told them ,they never botherd me.
HE! He everymorning, he is like i had a nice juicy steak for breakfast. i love to kill my own pigs (makes squeals)! I'm gonna have dear meat! I usually say "thats nice" Isnt he supposed to stop because i havent giving in? But he said "i'm not doing the work"(he is in my group) I said "yes you are, oyu i'll make u eat Soy" ANd he was like" i'd rather eat Worms!" I want ot bring some in, and have him eat that!
What can i do/say to get him to shut up forever, so he is sooo in shock he never wants to talk to me again!
I kinda think he likes me cuz' he always pokes me, but i have a BF and Eric is SUPER UGLY!
But what do isay?

Just ask him ever so nicely if he enjoys making himself look like an a.s.s.

He totally likes you and this is the ONLY way he knows to get your attention.
I would say to him
"Eric, listen your wasting my time. Im a veg, you're not. I don't want to waste any more time talking about it. If you want to talk to me about something else fine, we might actually have something in common. Otherwise go away"
When he doesn't do his share, ignore him or report him. No one can have a one way conversation. Sure you weren't arguing but you were keeping the conflict alive by staying on the topic. The ugly little creep will loose interest in less than a week if you do this. You will meet people for the rest of your life who will antagonise you about your lifestyle choice (I'm vegan so I know) make the choice to just not bother defending right now, saves a lot of grief in the future. When you have a live and let live attitude people will apply it in return. I don't say anything when someone eats dairy or meat in front of me, then they say nothing when I eat tofu. Good luck!

If that kid: Eric is paying that much attention to you he is in LUVVVVVV.
Sorry to tell you dearling Guys are goony(even when they grow up).
On the subject, LOL..you are going to be surprised at how many adults act stupid over some thing that is not their business(your eatting habits). Different things(paths) scare people & make them act foolish.
On Eric I have no real solid advice. Ignoring him & calm pleasant rebutals "Should" take the wind out of his sails. You say it's not, I think it's because he's too inmature for it to get through..plus maybe he likes you.

Tell him to find a hobby. I had the same exact problem. There's this stupid Jeff kid in one of my classes and he found out. Almost every day he bugged me about it, asking what i eat, or how i stay alive, or how stupid can i be. a bunch of stupid stuff like that.
So one day I printed him off all this information about vegetarians, and what we eat, and recent studies showing that we're healthier than omnivores..he glanced at it and said bull ****. I told him to get a hobby and focus on his own diet and to stop shoving his opinions down my throat..that shut him up.
Only every once in awhile now does he be an a**hole about it saying, I could go for a steak right now.
Basically tell him to **** off. Hope this helps!

Someone did something similar to me... asked him really loud in front of a whole group Now really WHO makes animal noises like Moo or oink oink...I stopped doing that when I grew out of playing with my ole mac donalds farm like about the time I was FOUR...didn't you. GROW UP....them I went around and asked everyone who still does that...do you? Everyone said no...showed him. He never said one more mean thing about me and my vegetarianism again.
When he says I love to eat animals...reply in a matter of fact way.. well that cool...I love to eat veggies..do you...oh yeah I forgot you prefer clogged arteries and a heartattack don't you.
I'd also print out some things about how much fat and colesteral is in each type of meat....then pair that next to a nice veggie option on the opposite side so he can see them both side by side..and I'd stick in a nice envolpe on the seat he normall sits in on the bus.

Well, personally the comments that he has said to you would really anger me and I wouldn't joke about it, I'd go and tell the principal or teacher--I know you might not want to be a "tattletale" but its a good way to make sure he never bothers you. I'd tell the principal this -->"I am a very dedicated vegetarian and I love animals and don't support them being harmed and used for people to have as food. And Eric (tell the principal his last name) is making very rude remarks to me about harming animals and it makes me uncomfortable and angers me. I would appreciate it if you would tell him to stop because he won't listen to me and I respect other's morals and beliefs so I'd appreciate is if you would take part in getting him to respect mine."

I'm not sure how old you or Eric is, but he sounds like he is flirting with you. Guys tease a lot when they are younger as a sign of affection. Sometimes (a lot of times, actually) right on into high school. Either shrug it off, tell him how it bugs you (this will most likely cause him to tease you more), or tease/joke with him back.
Yea, guys are weird.

Just tell him that you being a vegan is a personal decision and if he chooses to eat meat then that's his deal. And that making fun of you and taunting you isn't going to get you to like him anymore than you already do..which is none.

Yeah, I think he has a crush on you and is just teasing to get your attention. Just completely ignore him and eventually (hopefully) he'll get the picture. Explain the situation if you want to your teacher and ask if you can be assigned a different group...

Just keep up with the "that's nice." and act disinterested. He'll get over it. You'll have to wait it out. I'm an adult and people STILL do that to me.
