  • 4 Marick K // Nov 10, 2008

    I don’t think you have to worry about him. It is you that needs to get looked at.

    Vegetarians are awesome.

    You are broken and if you don’t shut the **** up you are going to break your son’s heart.

    Get him some protein supplements though, cause athletic vegetarians need that.

    You are a real piece of work

    I don’t understand how your childs distaste of meat implies he is broken.?

    You are a terrible father, please eat a gun.

    Hey dad, I don't think it is a good idea to put pictures of little boys on the computer. It only invites the pervs to come around.

    It is clear that your boy needs discipline!
    From these answers I have read, it is clear that vegetarians are terrible people and you do not want that for your son.

  • 14 ima_super_geek // Nov 10, 2008

    Some people just don’t like eating animals. Some have moral objections, others are doing it for appearances. It happens to a lot of young guys. Especially if there’s a particularly pretty girl involved.

    your childs not broken you selfish ******!!!
    take him to a doctor to make sure he is still eating a healthy diet!

  • 16 Catherine // Nov 10, 2008

    Number 1: There’s nothing “broken” about vegetarianism. Shane, more than likely eats much healthier than the kids he knows who aren’t vegetarians.
    Number 2: I’m more puzzled by the fact that you somehow forgot the spelling of your OWN name!

    Lol at Johnny’s answer =P

    Being a vegetarian, while abnormal, isn’t an illness. At his age, it’s most likely a phase that will play itself out. If it’s not a phase, it’s not really a big issue anyway. Will he be judged for his choice? Yes. Will he be made fun of for being a vegetarian? Yes. Should you or he cave into peer pressure? Absolutely not.

    Show your son that you support him and his choices. If you undermine his choice, you may lose very valuable credibility with him.

    Talk to your son. Find out why he became a vegetarian. Regardless of the answer, as a parent, you need to support his choices. You may need to help him clarify why he made the choice which may help him change his mind though.

    I think it is awesome that kids can be so sensitive and aware at such a young age. The decision he has made to be a vegetarian shows he is smart, knowledgeable and sensitive to the world around him … it is not a problem in my eyes… :)

    It is not uncommon for young kids to go through stages like this.
    Don't worry… I am sure it is just a stage. But if it is not a stage, you need to be respectful of his choice not to eat meat…. and if that is his only "problem" (which is actually NOT even a problem in my view), then you are one lucky parent. :))

    Consider this: some kids his age are already into drugs, alcohol, shop-lifting or having sex…etc…. so be happy that this is just a decision not to eat meat, and not something more serious or illegal.
    :)))

    He isn’t broken he just feels bad for animals. It could just be a faze ( I know I went through one.) Just be supportive and make sure that he is taking vitamins and eating the really good stuff. You could also encourage him to eat fish and eggs and that would really help keep him healthy. It is just really important not to think of him as broken and to be supportive.

    Explain what you mean by “Broken”
    And to be a vegetarian is ok as long as they get a B12 supplement to help repair muscle.

    Broken? Making the choice to not eat meat won’t make him broken and you shouldn’t try to ‘fix’ him just because he doesn’t eat meat anymore. The only thing you should do is make sure he still keeps protein in his diet; as a coach i’m sure you know all about a healthy diet so i won’t patronize you with things like that. I know that many men dislike the idea of their children, especially sons, being vegetarians because it seems less manly and unnatural but he’s chosen a way of life that he believes will better himself or give animals a longer life without being killed for their meat and you should try help him with his choices, even if you disagree with them. I don’t know much about baseball but if you google ‘vegetarian baseball players’ quite a few websites list vegetarian and vegan professional baseball players. I hope this has helped, and please don’t try and fix him, he doesn’t sound broken at all, just capable of making his own choices in life.
