Yes, and a good majority of the time people regret their decisions. Not all of the time, but a lot wished they waited a bit before getting hitched and pregnant. What the person decides may not necessarily be the "right thing" (I use "right thing" loosely, I can't put into words how I mean it) to do for their age and maturity level.

my younger sister is 16 and has a one year old little girl.
she is also engaged to her boyfriend, who is her daughter's father.
there are some teengers who can seem to pull having a child and being engaged off without a hitch.
and i praise them for that, especially my little sister. she used to be irresponsible and a partier.
but ever since Aubreigh was born, she has changed and turned her life around.
she's getting straight As, she has a nice paying job and she's happy.
i don't know of a lot of teenagers who can say the same thing.

i, for one, wouldn't have been able to handle it. if i honestly can barely take care of myself right now financially, how would i be able to take care of a child?

Compare that to how many 16 year old girls there are out there who aren't as lucky to have what your sister has.

Lack of life experience make most early marriages fail, however some couples fit better together than others and some "grow up" faster than others. Those couples may last forever. It is nice to know that not all of the early marriages fail.

Well personally I know that if this or that speciall guy would propose to me right now, I'd accept.. Razz Idk it dpends on the maturity .. the capability of the two to make a decision and stick to it..
I like(d) my friend (whse a girl).. like I was seriously obsessed with herr.. like in that silly lovey dovey way.. I never told her and now I've moved away really far.. so the next time we meet we might be 20 or something.. when I asked her about what she thoght of lesbians etc. she said she thinks its weird and would never be gay. Yeah well. But she was the only girl that I ever thought of in that way, like I even considered marrying her and adopting some kids like when we were both playing with my little sisters I seriously loved how shed be. Idk. I'm going through a hetero curious/ hetero thing now. and I'm waiting to find some guy to date and maybe fall in love and stuff.. But like seriously I know what marriage means and I think if I made the decision now to get engaged etc. I'd know what I was doing

Engagements? sure. Marriage I think, should wait untill both people are older.

I sort of agree with this. What I agree with is the idea of saying, "Yes I'd like to be with this person - but I'll wait longer to ensure this isn't a phase."

I don't think there is anything wrong with teenage engagement/marriage however more often than not I do think the people who choose to embark upon such an adventure - that I know personally of - are not right for such a step. So more or less I suppose what I'm saying is it depends on the people, for me I have no issue with the actual activity.

(I'll also point out one of the most important people to me is young and engaged and I couldn't think of anything more perfect for her and her partner at this moment in time in their lives. Just want to add that wee bit of information out there in case it seems like I only blame the people who make the choice rather than the choice itself for any bad situation arising. I fully believe it is the people that make or break it.)

I Think That its not a Good idea to get marry That young ,Because teenagers emotions are changeable ... so maybe he'd think that he love her til death in a second but a minute later he would hate her or love another one ...Marriage should be done in adulthood so he can take the responsability seriously
That what i think you might find it strange
and i think that this thing is a reason for lots of divorces cases these days
