ate age 17 all you know is your home life, high school, and small version of the world in whatever town you live in.

I am sorry but no one should be making any major decisions at that age

Good thing I wasn't getting advice from you 15 years ago.

I still don't get the point of marriage without Kids.

When you have kids, you make a promise to stay as a family.

But when its just a couple, what the point in making a promise to potentially stay unhappy?

If you want to spend more than half of your life committed to one person than no.

Definitelty too early. She'll find out by herself though. She should put her mind to other things than a serious relationship.

Hells yes it's too young. What's the rush, i ask? It's not like you have to get married or break up, why not just stay together for a few years and make sure you're definitely happy with each other for the long term rather than sentencing your life away needlessly?

/my two cents on young marriage.

No one should get married before they are 25 or 30. At least. Not only should one have a stable career, but have lived adult life a bit to know what they really want for the rest of it.

No....personally I find one of the major components of divorce is that people don;t grow with each other....they wait until they are "ready" or completely established..by then you aren't as flexible any longer....you're stubborn and not willing to work with others........do I think everyone should get hitched at 17 or 18?...no...but it's no worse then what people are doing now...Omni-Slash
Those are good points. The more I think of it, it really depends on the couple.

Nope. Yeah, people can say that some folks are not mature enough or live your life first. Isn't that what we are all doing now? Living our life? I have met tons of people way older than me who are very immature. I say, everyone is mature in my eyes until proven otherwise. No judging books by its covers here. People know the consequences of being married, doesn't mean I am going to stop them. Not all marriages crash and burn when folks marry young. People love to make that damn excuse saying that they were young.

Yes it's too damn early. Date throughout high school, then cut off ties. That was some of the best advice I have ever heard. Whether you think so or not, you are not mature enough to commit your life to a chick, as cool as she is. She needs to ditch the old guy (old for him) and have fun. Marriage is played down these days, and it shouldn't be. You need to have your ducks in a row if you want to have a good marriage, and at seventeen, no one does.

Yes, 17 is too young. 20-22ish is the earliest I'd say.

I'd say yes it is a bit too young. Me and my fiancee were going out since we were 15 but we didn't get engaged till last year when we were both 21

I don't think it's too young to say you love someone, but it's definitely too early to get married. At that point your mind is still developing, and you haven't experienced the golden years of post higschool..

She hasn't even gotten into college, why did her parents even allow her to date a 21 year old at her age, I wouldn't.

I definitely think so, but if she wants to throw away her life, it's her choice.

Anything under 30 is too young to be getting married. Thinking you're ready to be married at 17 is just laughable.

Wayyyy to early, I mean i can't really affect what other people do in their lives, but how would they support themselves? I'm assuming this boyfriend of hers can't really afford to support 2 people on what ever salary he's making at that young. They really oughta wait and make sure they aren't jumping into this

I'm 28 and I wouldn't even halfway consider getting engaged in my current situation if that's any indication.

The whole situation the TC explained is just one giant red flag. Every relationship I have ever seen in my life that involved a high schooler dating someone in college all ended the same way. As soon as the high schooler graduates, they break up before the summer is over. The cool status of "dating a college student" amounts of all of nothing after they graduate, and often realize they were only dating because of that very reason.
