Answer 1

That's a tough situation. Maybe you could sit down with your mom when she's not tired, distracted, or stressed out. Calmly explain why being vegetarian is important to you and find out what her concerns are. Then have a discussion about vegetarianism and answer her questions or concerns in a calm, reasonable way. Don't attack her or yell at her.

If she still tries to force you to eat meat, keep refusing to eat it.... eventually she'll get the message.

Here's a list of vegetarian sources of protein, iron, and calcium to print out and show her: http://www.tryveg.com/cfi/toc/?v=08sourc...

I hope this helps!
