Quote From: juliebggI wasn't even going to bother to respond to you because from reading your answer to me and to other posters, you tend to twist things and misinterpret things. But I decided to give it a try anyway....
First of all no one said that "partying" is a way of life. But I do think that if you miss out on important occasions and activities as an older teen or young adult that someday you may resent it. Secondly, who said that they wanted this young couple to fail? Stating what should be obvious; that raising a child (which is not easy even under optimal circumstances) is going to be difficult under their circumstances does not equal wanting them to fail. They are going to have a very rough road ahead of them. That is a fact!!! They are marrying very young and have not completed their educations which would enable them to provide well for themselves and their child. And they are arguing alot. This makes the case for waiting until you are mature enough emotionally as well as financially before having children. Since it is already after the fact for them, they are going to have to work very very hard if this is to work out.
What you said in your post is exactly what I've been saying, too....only I seem to get blasted on this message board whenever I stress how important education is, and how it's a bad idea to marry and have babies too young. People act like I'm the only one who says these things!
I hear, "Oh, I'm different. I have a successful marriage...and I was only..whatever age." and to those I say, "Wonderful. Then I'm not talking to you, so chill!"
People say, "That's just your opinion".....no. It's a fact, like it or not. Some things are true whether people want to believe it...or agree with it...or not. The statistics are clear. I may not sugarcoat things, because I hate ignorance, but at least I tell the truth!
