No its not to young and don't listen to people that say you change a lot so don't get married at 18! You DO Change but you that doesn't mean your heart does and you can't get married! I got Married at 18 and you grow together and learn together and Struggle together its marriage and the same things happen whether you are 18 or 90 or whatever age its going to be full of LOVE and TRIALS! Its not easy but worth every minute of it if you are truly in love and have the desire to work it out for better or for worse then you are ready! I have NO regrets!

i think it is and the reason for that is cuz i got married at 16 and let me tell u it did not end well. When you are 16 you want one thing and you think one way but when you get older your, perspectives and your views change on thing. You think u want one thing but when u get older you will want another. It is very hard work being married and you must truley love each other to make it last. You are single for only say 21-25 years of your life but will be married for 40-50 God willing so enjoy the young years please dont rush into it. I am 21 and got married 6 months ago for the second time and even now i think i should of waited. Wait never rush..
Good luck..

It's only an engagement depending on how serious it is to yourself and everybody around you. i mean that you could accept and be engaged but that in itself isnt too much committment because you can always change your mind. you should really consider getting married so young though. ive seen too many of my friends make the same mistake, afterall you only live once and marriage despite what everyone says is a ball and a chain, live for a while. Takecare :)

Dont do it you are too young to even know what real love is, I have a cousin that did the samething she got married at 18 engaged and 17 and at 20 she had 2 kids and ran off with another guys that she said she was in love with. Dont do it you are only sure of marriage when you atleast dated for couple of years and get to know someon.........this is puppy love and you will get over it. If it is real love you will find out when you are older and if it is meant to be then you will marry him when are both grown and know the meaning for true love.... Good luck and just dont do antyhing that you will regret.

I got married for the first time at age 16. I stayed married for 29 years and had 3 kids. I missed my whole teenage life and grew to resent not dating, not going to dances, not having pajama parties, and not going to the prom. I guess he resented it also, he started having affairs within a year and a half. I suggest waiting until you are atleast mid 20's . Good Luck!

What do you know about marriage? What do you know about life in general? Hon you will be changing and growing up and you might find out that he isn't the one for you. Think about graduating and going to college. Marriage is a big step and having children is even bigger. I know this is not what you want to hear but you need to let your self grow up first . We all thought that we were more mature than anyother 16 year old when we were that age too. Believe me it is not a bed of roses and you need to be all grown up so that you can handle certain situations. Life is too short. Spread your wings and find out who you are first!

Yes your too young. From now until your 18, and frankly the rest of your life is a lifetime ahead. I married my highschool sweetie...young....and ended up in a 20 year disaster from hell with two kids in the middle. Have FUN IN YOUR LIFE and stop trying to grow up so friggin fast man! LIVE YOUR LIFE! Have a bf but don't get engaged.....

16 might be to young..but, this is coming from somebody that is 39. At at 16..i would have said..no, its not to young.
its fine to be engaged..when 18 comes..just realize that you might not be ready for marriage--- so, at age 17, don't start 'planning the wedding' wait until you are 18, and see how you feel at that time.

Be engaged as long as you want but realize that you are going to change A LOT in the next few years. Marriage at 18 is not smart. Good luck.
