I don't personally.
I've been there and done that. Some people make different decisions.

The site you linked supported our argument.Stats have also shown that the younger you are when you marry, the more likely it is that it will end in divorce.
Through projection? That doesn't support an argument, that's an estimate, the chart it shows displays fact from censuses.
And no, none of my friends have divorced parents that I can think of.

I'm very happy for her because she's obviously very happy.
And I don't disagree, it's their business.I'd be like 10 times as excited if it worked for them instead of saying "I told you so."
well if it worked out, it'd be harder then hell. They are still going through school. They aren't even seniors yet! With marriage, you have to be commited, how are they gonna be able to make things work out when both of them have homework, stopping them from seeing each other?

well, then you don't know the pain divorce brings. Nearly all of my friends parents have had divorces, and my parents have filed for divorce too. It doesn't feel good. Marriage needs COMMITMENT. Now, you're parents didn't get married at age 14 and 15 did they?

Just because they can't see eachother does not mean they won't be committed. It's the same as an online relationship. You can be committed to someone without them being in your presence daily.

Mom 18
Dad 20
Then my mum had my brother when she was 22, still in university.

I don't know if an online relationship would work for me personally but, I'm not against it.

And the chart shows that about .4% of the population gets a divorce every year. Do you know how many people that is? That's a little over a million in the US alone. That is a LOT.
And I would say that you are damn lucky there as that is incredibly rare. Nearly everyone I know - myself included - has divorced parents.

😂 online relationships. Please tell me you mean, you've already met that someone for real, and had to be sepparated. If you're saying you met on the internet and give out little I Love You messages, thats ridiculous.

Wtf are you on about, I'm not in one so I wouldn't know, doesn't mean I don't think they could work.

Personally, I would say that trying to be truly committed to someone that you cannot be with is a good way to destroy any relationship you have.

See, it's rare for people to get married that young and stay married. My mom barely 19 when she got married and it didn't last. And she definitely regrets getting married that young, and I am not going to let the same thing happen to me.

I live in picket fence suburbia, the divorce rates are beyond low.

Ladies lets calm down and keep our composure.
