Hi guys...It's okay to THINK about marriage, but I do think you are both too young to go that route just yet. Even thou you have been together since the 6th grade, ther is still so much time ahead of you and you both will be doing a lot of changing, growing and discovering life for a lot more years to come. I think you should stay together unmarried through the next stages of your life and see how strong the relationship is and if you grow together and not apart (which can happen at early ages). If by the time you are 20 or 21 and you are still together and stronger than ever, it would be about the time to get married. I just got married last month at 29 years old after being with my boyfriend (now husband) for over 7 years. We both went through a lot of changes and we grew together which told us we were truly meant for each other. I'm glad I waited and I'm glad I grew up some more before we took the plunge. Good luck to you both...trust me it's worth the wait.
