I don't think 21 is too young to get married, i know ppl that have been married since 16 yrs of age and today at 63 are still married, these are my mom's friends. Anyway i think if there's true love there it can work. It's diff. for all people and couples. I also don't think 20 is too young to have kids, it just depends if you are mentally ready for them and financially able to raise them. If you are and want them then i think it's fine. Back in the days women would have kids early in their 20s, now the age is increasing to have kids and women are also waiting more to get married. If you don't want kids I think that is perfectly fine. You don't have to plan out your life now, enjoy it, start your career and enjoy your time together with your bf. Everyone has diff. views on marriage, when to have kids, etc. and everyone's diff. so it's all up to the person when they want to do that. I think that someone should only get married and have kids if they feel they are ready to. I personally want to have kids young. Seriously when i was younger i thought that 20 was old, this was of course when i was like 12
and i thought i would have kids by the age of 20, but now that i am 20 i can't yet see myself with a kid cause i am still in college and won't be able to support it. I also don't have a real career yet. I do want to have kids young though, i think that stems from the fact that my grandmother had my mom at 20 and my mom had my brother in her 20s so i think im just following in their footsteps. I want to be a young mom but i plan to wait to finish school and i am in my 3rd year right now. I do think that sometimes your chances do decrease as you get older to have kids though, so i personally wouldn't wait too long. My brother is 24, his gf is 23 and they are expecting their first child now but they are totally ready. I can't even believe it myself cause it's my only brother lol
