How do i get my dad to except that im a vegetarian?

My dad said im too young to decide to be a vegetarian and he wont buy me vegie burgers and stuff when he goes to the store, my moms okay most of the time but i just wish he would accept that. What can i do?How do i get my dad to except that im a vegetarian?
your dad is probably like that because he's stubborn in his ways of thinking. he wouldn't be a vegetarian so why would someone else? maybe he thinks only weird people are veg.? maybe he is afraid of you making your own decisions. my only advice to help him accept that you have made this choice is to stick with it and someday he'll realize that you really are serious about your convictions.How do i get my dad to except that im a vegetarian?
To accept, not except.

You are not too young to be vegetarian.

He probably thinks you will not be getting all the vitamins. minerals, and nutrients you need.

Most parents are confused about vegetarianism and/or veganism.

And of A LOT people who become vegetarian do not check their diet - who are being vegetarian the WRONG way - they get sick from it, and then people think vegetarians are sick and weak.

You can't just stop eating meat and continue the rest of your diet. You HAVE to do research about your diet and know how to eat.

You can't just eat fries, pizza, and ice cream even tho they all are/can be vegetarian - ya know?

So be very smart about this and do research and say you will eat healthy and not get sick - don't throw how bad meat and stuff is into his face - but explain that you are doing research and knowing what you need to be eating and not eating and how to balance your diet.
