Am I Too Young?
Me and my boyfriend have been together since the sixth grade , and I was wondering if it was too early to even think about getting married ,( I'm 15 and my boyfriend is 14). It's not like were gonna get married anytime soon, but is it ok to think about it?

Heck no girl! You're going to be off him as soon as high school comes around!!! You have your whole life ahead of you, and I don't think now would be the time to be planning your life's commitments. The best part of your life is when you're in your twenties anyways!!! You will meet tons of other guys, and I know that having him is great now, because you are still livin' the small town life.

Oh, my goodness-YESSSSS! You are way too young! I think you should just enjoy your teen & high school years! You are very young & immature. That is not meant as an insult. All 14 & 15 year olds are immature!
I was!
Believe me, you will be 'over' this guy some day. Maybe not, but, I can almost guarantee you will break-up & move on. You need to date other guys before making your final decision on who you want to spend the rest of your life with.
I didn't even start really dating a lot till I graduated from high school! I finally found the man of my dreams when I was almost 20! I will be 23 when we get married next July. I have matured so much in the past couple of years!
You may think this boy-he is just that, a boy-is the guy of your dreams! Maybe he is. But, to think about marriage NOW? Big mistake!
I know you really don't want to hear this. You want everyone to tell you to go for it. But, I cannot.
Believe me, marriage won't be this perfect fairytale romance you dream of! I live with my fiancee & the fairytale part dies REAL fast! You get comfortable with each other & find out their faults & there are arguments
& things are not always rosey. But, you make it thru & love each other in spite of it! My fiancee drives me up the wall most of the time, but, I can't imagine my life without him! BUT-I am an adult. I am mature enough to
Make a grown-up decision. You are not. You are just a
Child. Yes, 15 is still a child.
Why even think about marriage! You should be thinking
About dances, the latest music, homework, tests & where you want to go to college! Guys will always be around-your youth won't!
I graduated with a girl who dated a guy since she was in the 7th grade. He was 2 years older. WHY on earth her mother even let her daughter date at that age still baffles me! Anyway, they got married the September after she graduated. It lasted about 6 months. She never dated anyone else! You have to date other guys.
It just is better that way!
Please, get marriage off of your mind & think about being a teenager & have fun!
Good Luck!
Princess!

Hey, my names spencer A.K.A. Mickey. Im in 7th grade. I hang with this girl called laura, and i called her today and talked. At the end, i gave her my #, but she couldn`t accept it, because her parents say she can`t call boys, but boys can call her. I really like her, and i can see the point of her parents being optomistic about dating, but not being able to talk on the phone? that seems fairly harsh, i must say. Any advice? thanks!
