Vegan...?

So I don't know whether or not I want to be vegan. There is a stigma around veganism and I don't think it's as hard as people say it would be but I'm in a situation where I just don't know whether or not I want to be vegan. There as sooo many health and environmental benefits about becoming vegan and it is so much healthier but without knowing exactly what to eat and how much of it I think I'm going to find it hard. I have watched so many What I Eat In A Day videos and so many Why To Become Vegan videos but I still feel unsure. I have moments where I really want to be vegan then the next day I think that it's too hard. I want to be vegan for ethical and health reasons and I hate not having the courage to do it, but I feel like once I've started there's not really any going back. I also want to do this to lose a little bit of weight and as fad diets and calorie restricting is pointless I feel like this is the number 1 option. I really wish one of my friends wanted to change too, or my mum or family. But I feel like if I decide to make a change, I'll be really alone. If anyone reading this is vegan please let me know so I can ask some questions or if you want to become vegan because I'd love to see this from another person's perspective. I think I'm going to wait a few days until  decide, although I have been researching and coming up with meal plans for months. New Year, New Me right?! I think I'm just going to get out there and do it! I'll speak with my mum and BFF and try get an understanding of what they think. Any suggestions please let me know!

    Hi!
    I'm not vegan... but I think that I could give you some advice here. If you do become vegan, you're going to have to take vitiman/mineral supplements and all that, but I'd say you know that already. Personally, I don't like milk that much, so I drink like soya or almond or whatever. Its by choice though, rather than to be vegan (well thats a choice too, but you know what I mean). Also usually, at least once a week, I'll eat vegan/veggie all day and then go back to non-vegan if you know what I mean. If you are certain that this is what you want to do, then perhaps you could go vegetarian before being full on vegan? Hope I helped!
    KIsses, Rose

      Thank you for the advice!! I've decided (with advice from family and friends) to go vegan for one month and if I find I'm feeling better than i'll keep going. I relate with the not liking milk thing, never have. Thank you for reading and commenting!

When your friends start to change

I had a best friend in Primary school, we were probably the only best friend 'couple' in the year, and I thought we'd be best friends FOREVER. But things change. She started to care so much about what people think of her, if boys like her, what she wears, how she acts. I'm very different to that. Yes, I care if I'm acting like a total looney-tune (Although that's often me in class) but I don't care if my clothes aren't from fancy shops (Target is my favourite:)) or if no boys like me. And it annoys me when I'm with her now... She's always on her phone checking if this boy has texted her or if her friends are doing something without her, and as much as I really really want to stay as close with her as i was in Primary School... I don't know if that will ever happen. I totally separated from my other friends when going into high school, not on purpose but to have a fresh start and also because I don't like the school most people were going

Siblings

You may or may not have siblings, and there are many benefits for both. I have an older sibling and I can tell you now sometimes I wish I could flush his head down the toilet, but then I remember everything we did together when we were young and how I know he'd take a bullet for me. My brother and I aren't exactly best friends and the both of us are not the most talkative people but I am so glad I have him. I often think about how much we've grown apart over time and how differently we act now, no that it's all a bad thing. I remember how we used to have baths together and wake up at 2am on Christmas to look through our stockings. I think this age (12 to around 19) is hard, you're both trying to get through high school alive while juggling a social life, homework and relaxation. All I can hope for is that when we've both moved out of home we catch up for coffees on the weekends and if we both have children they can grow up together being the cousins everyone wan
