I have been dating this guy for 4 years now, and we really are commited to one another. We have dated other people before so it's not like we haven't seen others, and don't want to wait till were older. But everyone else says we're too young and can't possibly know anything about love at this age.

You may be THE ONES for each other, but wait awhile any way. Your personalities are not done maturing, and you could very well grow apart yet. I've seen it happen before.
My personal opinion is that a person shouldn't get married until:
- they've finished college if they are going to go;
- they have a job
- they have lived at least a year on their own, paying for all their needs themselves. That includes rent, car payment, car insurance, medical insurance, utilities, clothes, food, taxes, repair bills, and everything else. If you're getting money from your parents or some outside source, you should save that and not use that for your living expenses.
The idea of this is to make sure the person has at least some experience of what living away from home is like before they try to do it with another person. This will cause you to mature faster than almost anything short of joining the military service. And you'll be better equipped to make a life with another person.

I won't say your to young,but I will say neither of you have the education, I'm not saying don't get engaged I saying it is so hard to get a good job w/o an education. As soon as both of you say I do the bills will start coming in and never stop. In my opinion one of the main reasons for divorce is over money. So if you two truly want to prove everyone wrong get your educations, college,trade school, anything that's going to give you both a steady and good income.
But what do I know, just an old man with out an education, but have advised all 4 of my adult kids, the same way.
Hope this helps

It's not that you dont know about love necessarily, just that you dont know about yourselves. You change a lot in ten years and maybe you'll grow together, but maybe you wont and that's grounds for a devorce. My bro and his girlfriend have been together since the grade 9 grad and now he's 24. There still not engaged but there still together. Just be commited and when you have an education and a job then get engaged. If your right for each other you still will be in a bunch more years ( and the ring will be way bigger!!lol)

yes, it's too young.......listen to your parents and his parents, trust that they know what they are talking about; finish high school, go to college.....then if you are still together, get married and have a wonderful life together
How are you going to pay the bills? Where are you going to live? How many kids does he want, how many do you want? Will they be raised Catholic or Jewish or Christian or are one of you an atheist; who will clean? who will cook? who will take the trash out? How will you discipline your children? Will you work or stay home if you have children? Will you have joint accounts or separate accounts? Will you go to your family's home for Christmas/Thanksgiving or his? What happens if he / you have to transfer to another state (although with only a high school education you won't have to worry about that one); do you both want to buy a house one day? Does he save money or spend money? Does he like dogs or cats or no pets?
Just a small list of things to discuss BEFORE you get married, and it is just the tip of the iceberg.

My parents were engaged when my mom was 17 and my dad was 19. They got married as soon as my mom turned 18. They have been together now for 31 years quite a record now days. If you are really sure you are in love go for it. However marriage takes allot of work so make sure you're ready for it.

Not necessarily.....my aunt and uncle met and began dating when he was 17 and she was 14. They married as soon as they graduated from High School....and are still married today ( that was over 20 years ago ) Not all " young love " turns out well though.....it depends on the couple.

Yes, why do you want to ruin your life so early. Go out and experience a whole lot of strange action until your numbers reach 100 and you are far beyond broken in. I'm talking about those lips will be flapping in the breeze.
Then you can go ahead and get married.

Too young for an engagement, if you want to get each other promise or friendship rings to be committed to each other that's okay.
Not to say that it won't blossom into an engagement later.
