Dear Marsha,

I’m not sure what to do. I’m thinking of becoming a vegetarian, but some of my friends say it’s a bad idea. They say that if I (1) … (stop) eating meat, my body (2) … (not get) the things it needs to stay healthy. Are my friends right?

Thanks,

Yuri, age 14

But if you (8) … (eat) lots of fruit and salad, you (9) … (get) all the things you need to stay healthy. You’re only 14 years old. If you (10) … (live) at home with your parents, and you probably do, you’ll have to ask them what they think too. Do you expect that your mum (11) … (start) cooking special meals for you as soon as you (12) … (tell) her about your decision? I believe that if you (13) … (think) about this carefully, you (14) … (put) off the decision of becoming a vegetarian until you (15) … (be) a bit older.
