First of all, it’s "affect!" How does being a vegetarian affect you? You don’t have to be a vegetarian. Vegetarians contribute just as much harm to the environment as do meat eaters.

Not in any adverse way if thats what you mean. B12 and iron can be an issue, just take a vitamin/supplement for iron, and you can always get foertified (with both b12 and/or iron) bread and cereals at the grocery store.
heres an article on the health benefits of vegetarianism:

Much of it, in my opinion, is just as much what we eat to replace the meat as anything else. A healthy vegetarian is going to replace that high-cholesterol, high-saturated-fat meat with fruits/veggies/lentils/nuts. Do that, you’re fine.

I have turned vegetarian because I didn’t like how animals being treated to get our meals on our table. Plus the price of meat is going so high its hard to depend on meat anymore. I am also turning vegetarian for health purposes.

I turned vegetarian when I was six years old, and have been ever since. I’m now past puberty, and I have felt great the whole time!!!

I have not noticed any effects, just strengthened willpower and a sense of accomplishment. Now if only I could give up drinking milk and eating pb&j sandwiches I’d be in better shape… XD

There are many benefits of being a vegetarian, but I feel this site sums it all up:

It shouldn’t affect you much at all, really, as long as you eat a varied diet with lots of different healthy foods (and, of course, you eat enough food in general). You’ll be at less of a risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or becoming overweight (and all the health problems that come with it).

You may want to consider taking a daily multivitamin, just in case. (Plus, it will give worried friends and family peace of mind.) Make sure it has iron in it. Iron is especially important for girls, because you (will?) lose it every month when you menstruate. If you don’t take an iron supplement, make sure you eat iron-rich foods such as spinach and whole grains, and that you get enough vitamin C to help you absorb all that iron.

it makes you healthier, it makes you become a better person because of all the animals you save, eat a variety of different vegetables and fruit to get the most out of a vegetarian.
