I would try to explain to them your point of view as far as being vegetarian for health benefits, etc. and ask them to not make fun of your lifestyle when you don't make fun of theirs. Just because you eat differently than they do doesn't make you weird or unhealthy. It's just a choice. If that doesn't work, you could try telling them you just don't like the taste of meat.
I'm sorry to hear that you're going against the social norms, but I can relate. My family is very unsupportive, but i'm lucky enough to have a fiance who is.

I'm glad to hear that you do have the support of your parents.
If you keep up the lifestyle long enough, your friends will realize that you're not just doing it because it's a fad.

I don't think I'd consider them friends if they don't support anything you do... true friends, even if they disagree with your choice, should support you every step of the way. Maybe you should reconsider your group of friends; to make fun of you for being more healthy sounds like they're just doing it to get a rise out of you. If you show them you're serious, they might change, or even ignoring them might do the trick. Any form of ridicule is only done so that the victim will get upset... otherwise, why would they make fun of you? Don't let it get to you, you have friends here, and I'm sure you can find some more supportive, awesome friends on the real life side. wink
