Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 My 11 yo son went through the same experience at about age 8. In fact, he came home from school angry several times saying he's tired of being different. Many parents have told me that their vegan sons all went through this phase. Fortunately, in most cases it's just a short lived period. But it's also a great opportunity to re explain your vegan beliefs in an age appropriate manner. Also, if possible, it's important that your son meet other veggie kids. I found that as long as my son remembered there are other kids living the same lifestyle, he felt less different and more confident. Today, at age 11, my son is much more secure following a vegan lifestyle and in fact explains why to all his non-veggie friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
