Is it dangerous for a 10 year old girl to be a vegetarian?

Answer 1

* Not necessarily. I became vegetarian at 13 and have enjoyed good health. If you are 11, somewhat health-conscious and plan on managing your diet, I see no reason why this would not be possible. Talk to your doctor, however, and as always, be careful. * To add to the above, in India we have certain sects of people who have never touched non-vegetarian food in their entire life -- and they lead a normal life. As long as you have a balanced meal, there should be no problem. The real test will be your willpower.

Answer 2

There are millions of vegetarians, many of which will be 10 year old girls. So long as the girl's parents are sensible about what she eats, there shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 3

Yes; it is helpful for an informed adult to assist her to get all the nutrients she needs, whether she is a vegetarian or not.
