Keep in mind, you can get animal products humanely, just know where they come from, such as a local farm. If it disgusts you tht we eat meat, become vegitarian. But to me, vegan is going a little far. You can get cheese and milk and eggs without doing harm to the animals. If anything, cows and goats want to be milked. And chickens would die if they didn't lay eggs all the time. Animal products are fine to eat. Also, if you are not done growing, this could seriously hamper your development. Make sure to eat lots of protien, as your main source of that is gone.
