An individual of the human species is not fully grown until it's 21 years old. 16 is barely the start. Be really carefull. I don't know where you got that info, but it is not correct.

i made that sentence sound nerdy because i like it xd[/quote]

^ This. Some people are still in puberty well into their 20's. A lot of people don't even start puberty in general until their 16.[/quote]


I have done some research (even though this is quite common knowledge), from a number of reputable sites which say that most girls begin puberty at 10 or 11 and complete puberty at 15-17 where as boys start around 12 yrs and finish at around 16-18. But I am a girl!! So obviously I have almost completed growing since I will be 15 in a few months. But I do still not plan to start vegetarianism until I'm 16.[/quote]

You can't go by those charts. Every person is different as far as when they hit puberty. You're not going to be fully grown at 16, I can just about guarantee you that.

Those figures (which by the way, you have not provided any sources for), are if anything rounded averages. Despite all our advances in DNA and genetic research, the human body is still uncontrollable at this point in time and so by extension (no pun intended) is puberty.
For the record, mine is different to the males figures you posted. And being 20, I can safely say that no one in my school finished puberty at 16. in fact some only just finished at 19. And even then...

Not that puberty has anything to do with being a vegan though but W/E LOL

Not all growth takes place in puberty. It has been 100% confirmed that the human body is fully grown once it is 21 years old. I would like to see the book or website that claims that you stop growing at 16 because that is a complete hokus. If puberty stops, does not mean that growing stops as well.

^Also, that.

Okay well I'm pretty sure that I will be very close to finishing. And yes every person if different, these are just averages.

^ 16 is not averige... That's a miracle...

Yes I know that when puberty stops it doesn't mean that growing also stops but I suppose they are around the same time!!! And you couldn't possibly stop growing exactly at 16. 'It’s your sixteenth birthday your growing stops...NOW!' Hehe But there is little difference in growth from around 16 to when you finish growing, although I'm pretty sure our bodies are changing all the time!

I have nothing against vegetarians, they chose the way of nutrition and if they like, as there are problems, they have complete freedom to choose their path, whether good or bad. But it's amazing how many tried this type of diet and your metabolism will end end up winning, to be difficult serguir without prejudice.

In my case I like meat as much as the plants, but especially the first and not let anyone insist that I have to eat this and that, as I will insist that you do not like meat to a vegetarian. They are decisions that must be respected, even though you know that can harm the individual who is practicing is not to diet or eat only animals, which is one of the main reasons why people become vegetarian.

Does anyone else feel like this was written in Chinese and badly run through Google translate?

Anyway, vegetarianism does not appeal to me at all. I doubt many carnivores grieve for the meat they eat, so why should we? Besides, plants are living creatures too. And it's not like the animal won't be gobbled up by another hungry animal if we don't get to it first. Nature is cruel - deal with it.

Yeah I get what you mean!! I can't help but think that everything has feelings. But yeah i don't know. We must eat and so does everything else I guess!! But i do not want to continue eating meat.
