How I became a Vegan

My name is Emmy, I'm 15 years old. Last year my friend told me about how dairy cows are repeatedly impregnated beyond their natural cycles in order to give birth to baby calves just so they can produce milk - and then these baby calves are taken away from their mothers to be slaughtered.

I decided then and there that I had to become a vegan. They told me that I didn't have to until I was old enough to be able to pay for my own food and then I can choose how to spend my money because my parents only have my best interests at heart. But I said "no, I can't now that I know about this, I'm just going to have one last ice-cream and I'll never eat meat again."
