I Want To Make A Change

Question

I am 17 years old and I feel very strongly about animal rights. I want to promote veganism, but I'm scared of being discriminated and picked on. I can't start any clubs in my town because unfortunately, the population is very small and it's filled many dairy and beef cow farms and the people here love to hunt. I was thinking about starting a social media page, but I want to do something that will make more of an impact. I also want to find ways to meet people that understand me. I'm tired of not feeling like I fit in. 

If anyone knows of any ways to promote veganism, I would love to hear about it.

A situation like that must be somewhat difficult. You could also try postering or putting up stickers to get a message across? Some kind of social media group of some sort for your area would be great, there could be a handful of vegetarians or maybe even vegans around. Someone at some point in time would have to get something going, and you could start it!

Animal rights isn't an all or nothing thing. Know that any contribution you can make helps and no one expects you to do everything by yourself, especially in a smaller town.
