Is Fifteen Too Young?

yes in my opinion,

marraige is a big step and the person who you choose to spend the rest of your life with is very important and should be thought over rationally.

i dont feel that 15 year old's have fully grasped the concept of marraige and engagment , i think those kind of decision should be made when your and adult. Thats only my opinion though.

I think your parents will want to have a say in who it is you are engaged with, so i wonder do you r parents know ? as most parents would probably think its too young.

i agree with Britt, ''promise ring''sounds ok to me.

it really depends on the person.....but for the most part, yes i think its too young....

15 year old still have hormones majorly....and alot of times they think its "love" when its not...and what not....

but idk.....

These days it is considered too young in western socities. However in other cultures young, and arranged marriages are still part of the norm. Going back in history 15 is reasonable, each to their own and the situation at hand I guess...

I think 15 is too young. However, if you TRULY love your partner, and you can seriously tell yourself that you will be with him forever.
But it is totally your decision. I mean... your the only person who can live your life right?! No one can make that decision for you.

not if your ready to comment yourself to that person for the rest of your life.That, and if your are in love with the person.I'm 15, and i'm enaged so I don't see anything wrong with it, if your willing to comment, and if you love him.

yes definitely. you think that you're in love with that person during this stage of your life but there are still so many people and experiences to immerse yourself in before even thinking about getting marriage. plus, at 15 you have no way of being financially stable. my advice is go to college or get a job at least before thinking of settling down. andyou never know, you might see that person again in the future.

I'm soon to be engaged, so...i'll be a hypocrit when i say this (given my age is also 15)

You may think, or may actually love this person - but so much will happen in your life between now and the time you are 18, can you really tell yourself it's all going to work out ok?

You have to be careful, the more you build the relationship - the harder it will be to break, even when you think it should.

The next few years you have ahead of yourself are, without doubt, the most important in your life.

The last thing any kid should be thinking about is marriage.

The problem i have Britt, is that as much as i try (and i promise you, i have) to deny that i love her.

The more i realise, this is actually love....and it's mutual and it's bizzare.

I will marry this girl, i'm in no doubt of that now.

The question is how long the marriage will last though. I really hope that you guys are part of the extremely small percentage of couples to marry young and stay married, but there's a larger chance that you'll find someone else later in life.

15 is WAAAAAAAAAAY too young. You do't know what you're getting yourself into...

engadged no married yes....my mom and dad got engaged when my mom was 16 and they are still married but i wouldnt recomend getting married till after high school

lol opps i men engadged yes married no...sorry

ok everyone!! you cant judge a person by thier age!!! the answer can go either way because its not how old you are, its realy about how mature you are!! i know alot of 15 year olds who are more mature than thier parents!!! my 15 yr old fiancee is at tha maturity level of a 30 somthin year old!! it realy has to do with if you can realy see yourself being with only this person for the rest of your life!! and no one elce!! if you can truely say that, then i think, maybe ur all set!! dont ever let people tell u ur too young for this and that!! its all about how mature you are, now i dont know you personaly so i cant realy say if your too young for that kind of commitment or not, but i wish you the best of luck! :)

*~peace and love~*

The fact is you can judge a person by the age, people do everyday and everyone who has responded to this thred has judged bleeding by her age. That is largely due to the fact that if you actually read the inital topic, she is requesting peoples opinions and thoughts on getting engaged at her age - being 15. She to me therefore put herself and her age in the firing line for all sorts of discrimination. Okay I'm a very much "each to your own" person, open minded, but have learnt a great deal from my own experiences and those of others.

Fact is - your parents may have done it when they were young, but times have changed, people and society have grown and developed even more rapidly. Living today is a lot more difficult, not to mention expensive than when our parents grew up. Peoples wants and needs have changed, along with society's perception of what is right and what is wrong.
I grew up and learnt so much about myself in the years of 15 - 18, who i was what I wanted and how I planned to get there. I was with someone I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, I thought I loved with all my heart...not that my feelings were wrong, they just weren't accurate either. I'm still close friends with him and his family, we grew up together and shared alot of great times...but its nothing compared to love I found later in life with my partner and thw two beautiful kids we have now.
You can be 110% committed to someone with out promising the rest of your life to them too. Out of curiosity - how old is your fiancee?
Either way the decision is entirely yours - I hope you think about it seriously and take my words into consideration - I wish you every happiness whatever path you choose to walk :o)

if you feel you're ready then you're ready honestly i do think its a little young but hey its your life just if i were you i wouldn't rush into the marriage just make sure before you get married that you are fully ready before you go ahead with the marriage but hey good luck to you both.

LoveMyLove... im sorry but i think your too young.. because its COMMIT not COMMENT!!!

Thats your opinon but you aint going to change my mind. I'm in love with him.

To be engaged?...I think it depends on you and him yourselves. In my culture long ago they were married at 15...I dont know, maybe it sounds a little farfetched, but I think if you are serious about it and mature...you can handle it.

On my honeymoon, back in 2001, when asked why I was here and then how old I was the lady gasped and said:

You're so young to be married.

I was 24.

Perspective is a funny creature.

Its Kind Of Early To Be Engaged, Back Then It Was Normal xoxo-Nikki-xoxo

i think...........................

whatever you wanna do. all i gotta say ^____^ i have no problem with it.........and i wish you lotsa loads of luck and happiness.

Peace Hun....

i think if its what you feel than go for it.

Well I have a soulmate ring.
Marriage is a big step, and if he
really loves you, he'll wait `til you
guys get a little bit older. =)

BUTTT! if your heart is in it ..
GO FOR iT!
