Too early. Will not be able to enjoy what is left of your childhood
-
erm...i guess..if u hvnt rushed into it then..its gr8..congratz..but if u rushed into it...re think it..what do ur parents think of it?
-
Good luck, you are young, and there is a lot of life ahead of you. Travel, learn, enjoy, suffer, create, destroy and wait.
-
Go ahead just use birth control protection
-
what's the rush?? you don't wanna experience the "teenage" life?? when you're married, you'll have responsibilities. tsk? but anyway! do what makes you happy! :))
-
You are both so young, oh, wish I could say yay, it'll be great. It'll be hard work. Harder because you are kids. Good luck, you will need it. Prove everybody wrong and someday celebrate your 50th anniversary:)
-
To young..and good luck
-
Too young but you have to make your own decisions and I wish you the best no matter what you choose.
-
They still have two years until they can marry, unless their parents don't care and sign the papers. So saying they have to wait two years it probably won't last till then.
-
are you serious?? you haven't even started college~ you haven't even started living LIFE~!
-
I don't know enough about the situation to form a proper conclusion.
-
good luck..it's your life..enjoy --get what you want from it.
-
WOW
-
Well, I do hope you are willing to stick with it. Marriage is forever.
-
I'd say that's ridiculous if you actually plan to marry soon. Wtf for? You have the rest of your life to get married. You haven't even graduated high school. What's the point in doing something so important on a rush?
-
Too young... Pure and simple.
-
Sounds like me a few years back with my ex. I thought he was the one I would marry...but things changed. I'm not saying it's impossible to stay with your high school sweetheart...but I guess it takes a very strong couple to do it and not just to show everyone off, but to have real love for each other, trust, and communication. I'm so happy with the man I'm with now...I'll be his wife soon and with a baby :) Just take it easy and remember to enjoy your teenage years. It's fine to be engaged and all (it can be a long engagement ya know?), but make sure to make the best out of life and don't stress yourself with anything other than your math exam (lol). Congrats! and I hope it's for the long run...if not then I still wish you the best.
-
Don't take this as an insult, but you're a baby! Don't commit yourself so early. Graduate high school at least!
-
Stupid. They've got their whole life ahead of them. Haven't even experienced 90+% of what they will experience, including people. Times change. People change. Likes and dislikes change. Goals change. Way too young to be making such a big commitment.
-
Too young
-
I personally disagree with most people here saying you're too young. I was engaged at 15 to a guy I had been with for 3 years. It didn't work out, but that's not to say it won't ever with someone else.
-
FLDS? The fundamentalists (mormon group that is) are the only ones i know that really marry that early. But i'm gonna go w/ the status quo here- enjoy your years, 16 is a biiit early.
-
When are you planning on getting married?
-
Picture your fiancee at ninety years old. Picture yourself being with them forever and taking care of them, when they are elderly. If you are grossed out by this thought, don't get married. If you are happy and content with this thought, then I wish you all the best and congratulations ♥
-
grow up first...learn to keep house, cook, do everything without the help of your parents and then tell me if you're ready....
-
Since you haven't dated (much?) why make this commitment at such a young age? May you be exhibiting classic "anything to get away from the parents" behavior? Why not get out of high school, go to college/vocational school, get a job and meet some people before becomming a wife and mother at 19? Good luck.
-
Well it matters on a lot of things... Its all up to you. I mean it sounds like you guys are going to wait till your 18 anyways...but how long have you guys been together?? Sorry don't mean to be nosy...
-
DIS-engage ASAP
-
I thought I would marry the BF I had at age 16, until he cheated on me and then left me. No judgement from me, just sharing my experience. Take it slow, noone wants to get hurt.
-
I'm about to turn 16 and my boy is 16 (he's a couple months older). Each of us has dated plenty of people, and we've had our up's and down's since we met at basically the beginning of the school year. We've had huge fights and I learned to heal and strengthen from them, and he's learned that he's gonna end up saying sorry and re-earning my trust. We've put up with each other dating others, learning how to make each other happy (w and w/o sexual acts [though we both still own our Vcards]). There are still some minor trust issue's that I'm getting through well, and he recently gave me a lovely little ring to say I'm his girl and that we'll be together forever. We're going to wait until we've gotten at least into college, and then from there we'll see.
-
that you'll be divorced at 18 -Brad
-
That sucks, sorry for your loss.
-
Too fucking young. Marriage is okay and all, but when you get divorced, it'll be acrimonious. Wait until you're 45 to get married!
-
Since you mentioned your age in conjunction with the fact that you're engaged, I presume that you yourself aren't comfortable with your choice. Otherwise, you wouldn't have felt compelled to ask for help. I hope it's a long engagement so you have time to think it over.
-
firstly i think too young making big mistake!!!!! next will say they wanna move out at this age !!! put your foot down too young
-
Immature and short-sighted, being charitable.
-
Fool....live life a bit.
-
Theres another bunch of ill-gotten offspring my tax dollars will be supporting.
-
Any thoughts I might have are much more numerous that any thougts these kids might be having. Are you crazy?
-
I wouldn't do it that's all I can say.
-
Its not new, may be she is already adult, adult does not mean you should be 18, if the parents allow she can get engaged.
-
you're WAAAAAAAYY too young
-
Man the world gets dumber
-
Unless your the wisest person who ever lived, id say that's not a good idea.
-
to soon, they haven't even really lived yet. they my think they are in LOVE, may think it's TIME to take the next step or just getting married for sex but what ever the reasons, the odds are if they get married this young they will be divorced in a year or less. people need to experience life first and live together engaged for a while first before they take the plunge, otherwise you are marrying someone you really don't fully know, only their PUBLIC persona.
-
im 16 and i say fool around a bit till you get married, there's probably muchh better out there
-
Teens nowadays are growing up too fast these days! Enjoy life and don't waste your time worrying about the problems of marriage. You have your whole life ahead of you...
-
Hold off. If you love each other that much you'l continue to date until a more mature age to make such a decision. You have your whole life ahead of you. By getting engaged now would be like eating a cake half-baked. It would still "taste good" but it's just not done yet.
