  1. like, OMG! I think that is like, way too young. youre practically a baby..slow down and go to college!


  2. too young hon..why the rush, enjoy the dating, the fun... you have time...

  3. you are much too young.

  4. It depends on the persons involved.

    I'd say you are WAY too young.  You have heartache ahead if you go ahead with this.

  5. Im your age. My boyfriend and I are to be engaged at the end of this school year when we graduate. However, we are being careful not to marry for at least a few years after that. We're not getting engaged to just be married, we are getting engaged to make a promise to each other that we will spend the rest of our lives together.

    So to answer your question, no, seventeen is not too young to be engaged if it is for the right reasons. However, it is too young to actually be considering marriage.

    Congrats and good luck:)

  6. In general yes.


  7. Why the rush? If you two love each other, you'll be together for a long time, married or not.

    Wait a few years.

  8. I know a few people who married when one was 16.   They are both good healthy relationships now many years later.   I knew who i wanted to marry at age 17, though... we didnt actually marry for a few more years.  I'm nearing 30 now and couldnt be happier.  So I have to put out as an aswer  

    absolutely not.    

  9. The honest answer is that it is hard to say.  A friend of mine got married at the age of 16 and has been married for over 12 years and is very happy.  It can be done that is for sure.  Marriage takes a lot of work and there is no way I could have understood that concept at 17.  I know it would have been a mistake for me.  Maybe it isn't for you.  I will suggest that you stay single and live life.  You need to find out who you are and that usually happens after college and/or when you've entered the career world.  My advice is to give yourself some time to grow.  

  10. YES, TOO YOUNG!

  11. congratulations its ok to be engaged but wait till ur at least 20 to marry think it over well


  12. No way, gurl!! I think its really sweet. And you're only engaged, not married yet. I would wait til i turned 18 to actually marry, but 17 is a great age to be engaged at in my opinion!! You go gurl!!! Congrats and best of luck to you and your "hubby-to-be!!"  lol    ;-)

  13. For most people, it's too young.  Especially since the two of you have been together since you were 15.  Neither of you has really tasted life.  

  14. Yes.  Too young.

  15. yeah im 16 and i would say thats too young - do you really want to get married so early? i'd want a few more years of being freee first!  

  16. too young! you can be engaged and get married when you are like 20 ish.
