    way too early! that is like a newly born or something. and why get married so soon? what about school and other things before marriage??
    guess it works for some but definitly not me. XD

    most of the time i would say its really early, and according to research, people who married before 25 have a higher chance of divorce, because they have not experience their own independence, and all. But then there are cases that livied togehter for many many years, so its really up to that couple themselves, and as their firends i would only congratulate them and just be there for them.

    its their own decision, a divorce is just 2 signatures anyways.

    Absolutely a NO NO. They dont even know what they wanted yet. I've seen many young couples ( below age of 21) who got married , have babies and divorce within a few years. making the kids unable to have a proper family. Its really sad .

    In this time and age , i think one should explore more before commit into marriage , as it is something for life

    lol u never know... they might have a happy ending cause there are ppl that got married after HS and live happy ever after.... but it's risky... there still young... do they work yet? they know how hard it is to make money? they still live under there parents hood... they haven't had enough experience with reality... basically wut i'm sayin is... there still hella young... it's all puppy love... they still haven't went through the real deal yet...

    getting married young isn't a problem if they are truly in love with each other and are able to sustain a living together/support each other in every way possible, that IS what marriage is after all

    ive thought about getting married before...and if someone asks me to marry them at 18....even if i really wanted to get married, i wouldnt. Its too early. who knows what will go down later in life?

    i think she is a bit to young for marriage, but as long as they know what they are doing its fine, i have a friend who got married at the age of 18 and they are still happy together...
     
  13. It's def a bit early, they havent even really hit 20's yet and don't know what that kind of life is like.

    All i can say is, i see a lot of single mother these days. and yes they are asian. some may have married at a young age and others sex before marriage without protection. It's a trend i guess.

    Get married at 18 is to early,and now the you should take a time for your self,because you never know about your upcoming responsibility,that's why and at this age you are too young you are not ready for your married life,I think after 21 you understand people and take responsibility very nice,enjoy life nicely,I think you get married after 21 age,you proper understand it.

    My friend is Asian and her bf is white. they've been calm about 2 years. I don't wish to alpha an altercation about how stupid this seems but I also wish hr to be sure. I am hoping the engagement falls through.

    18 is fine imo providing the people involved know the difference between love and lust, if they were raised by the television then there is a good chance they wont know the difference, all they will think about is sex and makeup.

    People used to marry earlier in the past. but in our MTV fed, dumbed down backwards society... 18 is considered to be young.

    seems a bit way too young for me. but then if your friend wants it then just congrat them and dont say more. cant really advise in this kind of matters.
