No one, and I do mean no one, who is sixteen ever thinks that they aren't old enough. Only mature people would think something like that.
You may indeed be in love with this guy, but then again, the statistics show that engagements like yours and marriages in your situations, are almost entire and universally failures ... why? because they lack enough maturity to know when is 'old enough'.
The acid test for 'old enough'? When you can entire and completely take care of yourself. How's your job doing? You up into the $30,000 a year category yet? If not, then no, you're not ready.

Engaged at 16! What I think is that you're a little loopy. Apparently you're asking us what we think because you're NOT! You're young and think/feel that you know everything there is to know. Well, guess what...YOU DON'T AND NEVER WILL! Listen to your friends and family. If you're planning your life being attached to another person, you're so way off the mark. I promise you this guy will not be the same guy he is today in 3 or 4 years.

you shouldn't care about what other people, but it seems like it does bother you that everybody says you are too young which means that maybe you yourself think its too soon and want to wait but are afraid your boyfriend will think you dont love him anymore, which i am guessing isn't the case.
You should totally just do what you feel comfortable doing, 18 nowadays is young to get married. whats the rush now? maybe you guys should try moving in together after you graduate and extending your engagement!

Is that all you want in life is to be your boyfriend wife after graduation? Then more power to you. It's your life no one else. Really it's your decision but they do have those institutes called universities, colleges and technical schools out there to give you a better chance at life when all else failed. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Age doesn't define maturity.....when people are mature then they are ready for a relationship....
