Im 22, got married at 21, have baby on the way, still goin to university full time. i dont think im young at all. lol sometimes things happen in life that you cant control, im sure if you fell in love with someone at 19 or 20 u would be married with couple kids by now. I thought u would be talking about the really young girls like 14-17, but i feel once youre an adult (18) you should be able to do what u please.

The funny thing is, we’re all thinking “What’s taking you so long?”
I was married at 21 (I’m 24 now), and I have no children. what’s wrong with that? I was done with college and ready to start my life. Also, if you ask any of my friends, I’ve been an 80 year old woman since I was about 12. It’s all about maturity level.
I have been with my husband since i was 15 years old but we have only been married for the last two years.
We have been together for 12 years. We are both 27 years old with a 6 year old son. He works at a great job, we own our own place and we do good so why should it matter if i had my son at age 21?
I am grown and i knew then and i know now what i want and i got what i wanted and want.
a woman reached her peak fertility at 22, many women dont realise the high proportin of infertile women at 30.
women are designed to have babies in thei teens. You cant fight mother nature
I am 22 and I feel that I am an adult. I am out on my own and I take care of me. There is no point being grown yet a child at mind. We have to grow up. maybe being single at 27 is okay with you but personally I do not want to be 30 and alone. I am still a full time student, with a baby on the way, and I work. I’ve been done with the party life and that is not pleasing to me anymore. It’s time for me to be an adult!
Im totally with you 100% except the age.. Im 22, been with my husband for 3 years and iam expecting! Ive graduated college and both have great jobs, a house, etc…. Were ready… yet I agree that 15, 16 even 18 year old marriage pregnancy thing is silly
I have a serious boyfriend, I’m 15 & weve been together for a year and a half. We still give each other all the freedom in the world. Even if we do stay together we won’t get married untill I’m well out of college. I don’t really see a problem with that, we both still live our lives. I just don’t see why it bothers you.. its not your life your interupting.
i agree im 15 and i get annoyed when people want to get married so early. basically i think getting married that early is the worst thing ever because you have to stay with that one person the rest of your life and you didnt even get to go out with that many girls cuz ur so young. its so dumb when people want to get married early.
I am thinking the same thing too. Why can’t young people wait for things in life? Well, as for me, I’m 25 and I got married last June this year. And I believe I am in the right age to be married.
I got married young and I’m 20 now. I’m very happy with my husband and my family. I already have my degree in early childhood education and I’m working on another degree right now.
There is actually a book out there called “Unprotected” about this subject. It’s quite interesting and you should read it! It’s about how Americans don’t put emphasis on marriage and parenthood–especially for females.
Did you know that over 75% of college freshman do want a family? Well, sadly they are never counseled on the subject. They never ‘plan’ that family into their lives. The focus too much on their career.
It follows many stories of women who did at one point want a child but end up infertile or going through extremely extensive fertility treatments in order to get pregnant. Most women don’t even realize when their fertility begins to decrease due to the fabulous media focusing on sixty five year old women who get lucky and end up pregnant. We are very misinformed as a whole.
The prime time to have a child in your twenties. So, what difference does it make if a woman is 20 or 25? In order to have children [it is preferred] to have a husband first. So, of course they will end up getting married in their early twenties in order to start the marriage part of their family.
The point is many woman [myself included] rank starting a family very high on their priority list. It is very much a part of who they are and who they want to become. I don’t see a problem as long as these young women are taking care of their families, not living off the government, or their parents. If the family life is not for you that is fine but don’t doubt others who want that or call their desires unwarranted.
