Answer 14

When I was 13 I turned vegetarian. In June I turned vegan. I am 14 now.

Answer 15

I became a vegetarian when I was about 12.  We had cows when I was growing up and I raised one on the calves to adulthood.  One day I came  home from school and Freddy didn't come to the gate to greet me.  Instead, we had a huge freezer full of meat.  I felt just like someone had killed one of my friends and were suggesting that we eat him.

I was a vegetarian for about 35 years, and now a vegan for the past 6.  I married a vegetarian 32 years ago - he is now a vegan too.  Our son has been a vegetarian all his life, he's now a 17 year old vegan.  His PE coach told me at school registration this year that my son is the best all around athlete he has ever had in his teaching career - so guess it hasn't hurt us any.

Live long and prosper.  Accept your carnivorous friends - they may become enlightened yet.  Sorry this was so long.  :)
