I’ve been vegan for a few months but I am expecting things to go south any second now. I am living in a third world country so the pay for any part time job will be peanuts. Besides my parents would probably kick me out of the house if I did something like that because it would ruin their “social status”. I’ve also heard a lot of those arguments which vegans often hear; not being realistic, vegan deficiencies, etc.
But this is nothing. The fam is discussing a potential visit to a psychiatrist, a visit to a pastor (where I’ll firstly get ridiculed in front of the whole ‘pastor council’ for not being a man) who will accuse me of giving up my religion (which is true) and throw verses at me telling me that animals are a creation of God and they are here so we can eat them. And I can’t just say that I am no longer religious, I’ll prefer to have my limbs attached to my torso. Family gatherings are another thing where I’d be forced to go to find no vegan food so what do i do there?
I have been thinking about suicide as a way to prevent further harm of animals. The only thing stopping me is the idea that I could soak it all up (even if that means forcibly eating non vegan food) and maybe potentially make life better for the animals. I have planned majoring in STEM so i doubt how it’ll positively affect the lives of animals.
[Question] Is suicide a rational decision if it improves animals’ well being.

Hi, I am 16.
