Is it just me or our people getting married and pregnant younger these days? ?

Question

Give me your opinon about it

Answer 1

No, its not more people. People are just noticing it more now.  

Answer 2

No I think its the opposite because I notice more people waiting longer to get married and pregnant (in their 30's is becoming more common) but birth control hasn't been around forever so it was common to get married and pregnant young

Answer 3

well i can agree with you...hahahahaha I am actually 19 years old and have been married for over a year already...and I also agree with you about the prego part...that actually pisses me off sometimes...lol I have friends as young as 15 having babies and now that I am married and want a family its so difficult for me...

Answer 4

i think ur just over exajerating

Answer 5

Yeah...it's just you.  It's statistically much later due to people pursuing college and careers into their 20s.  People used to get married right after high school!  Teenage pregnancy has increased slightly though..

Answer 6

married varies:

most still are getting married in mid-twenties to mid-thirties

however there is a growing large segment of people getting married just before they graduate or finish college.

Answer 7

No, this is not recent but I do think people are having children older and putting their education and careers first, or it may just be my circle of people because of age.  But there have been young mothers for years I think it's less now.

Answer 8

Just you. It used to be very common for girls to get married at 16 in the 1800s. Though there will always be teens getting pregnant, the average marriage age and first pregnancy age has been going up lately, people are generally older.

Answer 9

I think as long as you are mature and financially able to provide for a baby it is fine.  I'm 23 and I am happily married and I have a 17month old son.  I see OTHER people my age who are seriously like 17 year olds.

Answer 10

i def think people arent getting married younger.. because in the olden days all my great grandparents even my own grandparents got married very young. my mother who is only 46 now got married at 17... so no i do not think so... i am 21 and i am engaged... i am also pregnant... and i love it...  i think younger people these days are becoming more mature ....   majority f the people my age had to grow up quick..  so i guess its better for them to get married young then to end up with another god knows how many men or women and end up with hiv or something.

Answer 11

Not really...people have been getting pregnant and marrying young since the beginning of time.

Answer 12

Actually I'm pretty sure the trend now is that people are getting married later and having children at an older age.  With all the medical advances it is much more possible for older women to safely have babies.  Stats say many more women are having kids, especially their first baby, at 40 or beyond than before.  

Answer 13

no its true it not just you

Answer 14

well, i dont see what the problem is getting married younger because i got married at 17 just two months ago and im fine and so is my husband. but as far as the pregnancy thing goes, people have been getting pregnant young ever since the world began. they always hid it from the public, so to your question its always been young for everything.
