#73 your a shitty asshole. Don't say stupid shit like that.

looks like you got trolled hard, bud.

#76 - You did pick up on the "get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich" joke that's been making the rounds forever, right? Especially since the tone of my post was blindingly obvious? ...guess not.

It *is* young. I'm 21 and I still get treated like a child at times. Trust me, it's young. Especially if you're afraid of the dark.

Alright, but that doesn't go to say that he can't get married. Maybe you get treated like a kid sometimes, but that doesn't mean that he does.

Damnit, are you calling me old? 21 is VERY young. All of you teenagers out there wondering what's wrong with being married at 21...here's your answer: 1. You're not done with college. 2. Not being done with college, you have no earthly clue where you will be or what you will be doing in the next couple years. 3. If you don't know those things, how can you guarantee that your marriage will work out? If you're that in love, get engaged and wait it out. There's no reason not to wait. That way, if it doesn't work out, you don't have to spend money on a divorce that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't gotten married while you were still too young to drink. So yeah, 21 is too young. End of story.

Right, because college is for everyone.

Well, even if you're not in college, chances are, you're not making enough money to support a family. So again...wait to get married.

and you speak from years and years of experience....yeah, didn't think so.

I have more experience than all the kids who decided to get married at 21 and younger. Your brain isn't even fully developed until you're 25. When you're 20, you're barely done with puberty. Like I said, get engaged if you want, but wait to get married until you're in a position to sustain a comfortable, stable lifestyle. Also, everyone who's saying that in the days of yore people got married at 16 should keep in mind that in the days of yore, people didn't live much past 45. Also, in the days of yore, you needed to start having babies right away because most of them were going to die in infancy. Moreover, it was mostly girls in their teens getting married to older men, because women often died in childbirth. None of this is the case anymore.

I hate to break it to you, but if you don't have a plan when you're in college, then you're too young to be there. There are also a multitude of legal benefits that can arise from being married. Also, not everyone goes through puberty the same. 21 years is a measure of age, not maturity. And finally, having someone who is more significant than a friend to get drunk with and puke all over is a sign of maturity, in my book. Also, being afraid of the dark isn't that big of a deal. Just be glad you haven't been arrested because your wife got a black eye.

"if you don't have a plan when you're in college, then you're too young to be there." One of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Who the hell has their life plan laid out at 18? You go to college to figure out what you want to do, not because you know what you want to do. In my experience, most freshmen who start out as gung-ho premeds or whatever eventually change their minds. I know a few people who did that, and they ended up majoring in things like history or psychology. My roommate my junior year switched her major from physics to film. Also, I know plenty of people who didn't go to grad school or get jobs in what they majored in--for example, a lot of English and comp lit majors go to law school. Then you have people who do things like TFA or the Peace Corps because they haven't yet decided what they want to do. Lots of schools have post-bac programs in all kinds of fields, for people who changed their minds about their career. College is a time to explore and enjoy your youth. Those who have everything all figured out when they're 18 are lucky, but the vast majority don't, nor should they. Also, by the time you're a senior and you do know what you want to do, you still have to apply for a job or grad school. So you literally don't know what you will be doing or even where in the country (or world) you will be the year after that. Even if you did know exactly what you wanted to do when you were 18, this uncertainty still applies to you. It's not really the optimal time to be married.

Today, I was at fmylife.com and I got hit in the face with a large, useless wall of text. FML.

21 is young - I'm 21 myself. letitbe56: I agree with you here. I read an article that said people aren't emotionally developed until about 26. You're still attached to your parents around that age. Also, from personal experience, I'm going to grad school in 2 years. I don't know which school I'm going too. My boyfriend is also about to graduate, so he'll get a job somewhere. If we got married, it would put a lot of strain on our careers, etc. We both "have plans" but we don't know exactly how things are going to hash out in the next few years. I'd rather be settled when I get married.

Oh well, Shit! If letitbe says "end of story" then I guess that's it. We should all just shit up and defer to her oh-so-wise opinion. (Obvious sarcasm)

To #129: I got married before my senior year of HIGH SCHOOL. I graduated shortly after my 1 year anniversary. I'm now in NURSING SCHOOL. I've been planning to either go to school to be a doctor or nurse since I was 2 years old. My husband was in law school but decided he didn't like it and is now LOVING the EMT training. I happened to have a child at 15. In between my freshman and sophomore year. I still went on and graduated 2nd in my class yet I was married AND a mother. No, my husband and I didn't get married because of my daughter, she isn't his. [say what you want about me. I don't give a damn] Yeah, I got married a little young, but who cares. It was one of the best things to ever happen to me in my life. Knowing I have someone who is standing next to me through all the hardships of raising children and going to school. So what if we don't know where we will be in 10 years. Hell even AFTER college you don't always know where you'll be in 10 years. You never know what will happen. Look at the economy right now. Because of that people I know are out of jobs because the place they worked at closed down. It isn't wrong or bad to get married at ANY age. It IS however bad and wrong to get married for the wrong reasons. I got married because I love my husband, not because I was pregnant, not because I felt like I needed to hurry up and get married. But because I love him and want to spend my life with him. I dated him off and on since 11 years old. We got engaged at 16, married at 17. Nobody should pass judgments because of someone's age. You don't know what they are capable of. You don't know their maturity level, you don't know what their every day life is like. You're basing this off a FML post that gives VERY little about the persons life.

I say it was bad you got pregnant so young but I applaud you for not being a stupid teenager who gets married for stupid reasons!! glad people still have some sense!! :D

#188 You had a child when you were 15 and got married at 17? First of all, that's pretty illegal in most developed countries. And don't you see you're making an ass out of yourself for defending this so much? Do you really think that anyone will ever take you serious in life with such a background? Think back of the attitude you have now by the time you're 40, you'll know what I mean. Ofcourse you're gonna preach at me now for being judgemental, well I got news for you, everyone is judgemental, also the people who yell how wrong it is. Good luck with your life, you'll need it.

#194, it's actually possible to get married younger than 18, but you have to have parental consent or consent from a judge in the US. :) "In most states you must be 18 to marry without parental consent. With such consent, many states allow marriage at a younger age, typically 16. In some states, due to special circumstances such as pregnancy or the birth of a child, the courts may allow marriage at a much younger age. " - Taken from http://usmarriagelaws.com

Marriage, yes. Being knocked up at age 15 is a different story, though.

Wow, you're probably the dumbest person I've ever heard of. You were planning for Nursing school, and did not have the sense to use any form of protection, or even if you did use protection use the Moring After Pill when the rubber broke? Hopefully you're kid didn't inherit your brains . . .

Its none of your damn business. You all are trashing me FOR BEING A GOOD PARENT. We've been having kids at 12/13/14 and up for CENTURIES. You have NO right to trash talk me the way you all are without knowing ALL the facts. Who cares how old I am now or how old I was when I had my child. I'm an EXCELLENT mother and take care of my child. I can be planning nursing school and have something happen in the process and still follow through with my plans. I never planned on getting pregnant. And you had NO right to bash me on my plans and getting pregnant. You all just want to judge without getting your facts in fact without even getting your facts straight. It says I'm now IN medical school, and my husband is working towards being an EMT. Bash me all you want on having a 6 year old daughter at 21 and raising her. But you have no right to bash me on being an excellent mother and still following through with my plans. Who cares what happened IN THE PAST. The point is I TAKE CARE OF MY DAUGHTER and I took care of her EVEN WHILE FINISHING MY HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. How many 15 year olds do you know who do that? Very VERY few. So who cares how old I was when I got pregnant. And by the way. Yes. We did use protection. It just didn't work. And yes, that DOES happen. My daughter is PROOF of that. In fact, so is my friends baby brother. So keep burying my comments because I'm in the right here. Keep burying my comments because I have a strong opinion and am living proof about how you can be married at a young age and still go to college, get a job, and raise a family all at the same time. Keep burying my comments because you think I'm a ***** for getting pregnant, go ahead. At least I took responsibility for my actions and raised my daughter, and at least I don't go around judging people for having an opinion and bury their comments because their opinion is right and they're giving PROOF that it works. Shows how immature all of you bashing me are. And the "I hope your kid didn't inherit your brains" comment: I graduated second in my class. I've been at the top of my class ever since I started school. I'm at the top 5% of my class now in college as well. So, yeah, keep saying you hope she doesn't inherit my brains, shows how you LIKE this world being full of idiots. I'm not stupid for getting pregnant and RAISING her. I'd be stupid for getting pregnant and ignoring her.

no one is going to read that.

I read it.

OMG Stop talking

i don't think you used enough ALL CAPS for anyone to really UNDERSTAND that you feel very STRONGLY about this...TRY HARDER
