I know quite a few people who are my age and are engaged. I, personally, think it's kind of stupid. My mother got engaged to dad when she was a junior, and had been out of school for only a few months when they got married. My dad was 5 years older, and they almost got divorced because of money problems from marrying so young. Luckily they made it, and are still happily together nearly 25 years later. I could never ever do that... I don't think many other people will be as lucky.

QUOTE b' date='Jan 21 2007, 1:26 PM' post='2426144'] If it's real, that's all that matters. If it's real, they're lucky to have found eachother so early. Otherwise, not a good idea. I agree. People can change a lot after high school, during college, and after college. Since a lot of kids in high school and even during college are dependent on their parents, they don't know yet what it's like to not have them to fall back on - emotionally, financially, whatever. That time period in life forces someone to get his/her priorities straight, and then it might turn out that the relationship isn't of the highest priority. |

 I reject this reality and substitute it with my own! Group: Member Posts: 276 Joined: Dec 2006 Member No: 486,863 |
In my opinion it's BAD.
Means lots of idiots going around getting married and having kids and way too much responcibilities and work to handle. I don't think it's such a wonderful idea! Although whoever's handling the devorce (sp?) cases are getting a lot of business. Think about it. If there was a couple mature enough to manage their relationship well + get married in high school + have it work out. If they're THAT mature then they can obviously wait a couple of years before letting something like marriage happen. High School Marriage = SO un-necessary! |

It must take a lot of maturity to get married at that young of an age. And besides, what's the hurry? |

This is pretty common in the military with young Marines that are 17, just about to turn 18 and who have sweeties back in their hometown. Oddly enough, I've seen it work. If they're both mature enough to handle all the hardships of marriage then by all means.

 That's very interesting to me. I've never, in my life, heard of anyone that young getting married. Well, heard, yes, but haven't seen one of those couples yet. XD I think it's good as long as their relationship goes well. If not, a total waste of time, especially when you're still in school.

QUOTE(devaani(: @ Jan 21 2007, 10:54 AM) You can't get married in high school. Can you ?  It depends because If you like had a baby while fooling around and decided to keep it and start a family.. Then that's when It would be okay. A person should wait and make sure your partner is really "the one". acutally you can. i have a friend who just got married over christmas break. though she's 18 & he's 19 or 20 i'm not quite sure. but she's still a high school student. i also know of other girls in my school that are under the age of 18 and married or are soon to be married...pretty krazy. |

I had a friend who was engaged to a guy who was 3years older. That was since she was like 5 years old. Then last year[she was 14] he was going out with this one chick and he got her pregnant. So my friend got the engagement canceled and is now engaged to a better guy. :]
It's uhhh whatcha ma call it. The arranged marriage. But my friend seems happy. Hopefully it goes well. But things like that still exsist. If someone has a kid with someone in high school, they better stick with them. But marriage in high school seems so very unsure. especially with your whole lives ahead of you. :P But love is what matters. It should. :] |
