03/10 Underage Marriage
Quote From: mssylady1With today's premiscious behavior and unlearned lessons about "LIFE", I would tell every underage person to wait until at least graduation from high school or/and a trade school or/and college. The hormornes are raging when you are teens, but the intellectual knowledge is below level. Man seem to be going backwards in parental teachings and guardianship. Actually young people don't even know how to have responsible or good sex. They are like rabbits going at it for the mere pleasure of having enjoyment.
It sounds as if there has been a lot of unhealthy family dynamics going on and the kids are looking for love in the wrong place. If only a little less anger in the family could be shown and more mature listening to each other might go a long way.
I pray the relationships build and understanding and reason rule. Since the brain, according to research, continues developing at least until age 25, I think 16 is too young for anyone to get married. Sure, some marriages begun at 16 have lasted 50 years or longer. But, in 1958, 16-year-olds were more mature, and responsible, than most are these days. And, back when it was much more common for girls to marry that in there teens, everyone graduated from HS at 15 or 16. My grandmother graduated at 15, in 1911. Went to Normal School, where she got her teacher's training. Taught school for about two years before she got married. And, was already 20 when my uncle was born.
