Under aged and Engaged !?!


Kids these days! Always trying to grow up to fast. On Mtv there was a TV show called under aged and engaged. It was about teenage couple who were just turning 18 or who haven't even turned 18. The show would follow them through the telling the parents and planning the wedding and all the little fights and then the big day. What I liked about this show is that it also shows afterwards. After the honeymoon. When they start living on their own and all of a sudden they don't seem so happy. Of course I don't mean all of them. There were a few that everything worked out. Their families were behind them and they were really in Love and it worked. But there were the ones that were definitely not in Love and it did not work out in the end. It also said what happen to them in the end. If they stated together or if they split up or anything else. High school teens often see marriage as in just a status. Just like being boyfriend and girlfriend or being hubby and wifey. They don't see that marriage is a big deal no a HUGE deal. Its a promise to stay with that person forever. It also means that you wont be treated like a kid anymore. Your married. Now you have bills and you need to get a job and still finish school. To me its way to much work! If you really Love the person your with that's great! but why move so fast? Relax. You have all your life ahead of you to get married. If you two are really in Love waiting a couple of years until you finish school is not going to change anything. And if things do change and you end up leaving each other then it happens. you move on. But its harder if your married. You cant just leave. You made a promise. I wont lie, I have thought about getting married. I am a girl duh =P. But even though it sounds great in my head I know it wont always be great. And I hate to say this but what if we do end up braking up. I wouldn't want to worry about getting divorced and waisting all that money just because I was a stupid teenager. To us girls marriage is like a bigger prom. See guys, now you know why we freak over prom so much. We cant wait to wear that amazing white dress and walk down the isle and look into the eyes of that cutie. and then the honeymoon. It sounds amazing, but that what a month top? what happens after that? Not only teens need to think about that question. Adults make the same mistakes. I think that the world should just stop. think. and then act. But then again we don't live in make believe land. We are human. We do make mistakes. But why make them when we can prevent them?? We don't need to get married. Isn't it enough to be with the person you Love?? I think for the time being, it is. For the future, who knows! Anything can happen...

Always live in Love...

Ive seen that show and its another stupid reality show thats on MTV i mean kids these day dont think before they act, they just end up doing something wrongg!! yes they could fall in love but they dont have to take it to the next level immediately you just just live your life to its full extent and then when your ready start arranging ideas on whether you want to get married or not.

  2. Those kinds of shows always make me laugh. They are so young, I don't think they realize what love is yet. Like the show Secret Life, I cannot stop cracking up because they are FIFTEEN and they are in love and getting married and don't want to be with anyone else. Chill out dude, you have your whole life! I think everyone should wait until they are more mature and don't have their teenage hormones saying "oh hey, sex all the time, lets get marrieddd!"

  3. This is kinda funny to me because I actually know a girl at Pines Charter who was engaged for a while, broke off of the engagement, and is no re-engaged to this same kid. What people really need to realize is that it is always better to have more experience under your belt than to make these decisions like oh say getting married to someone as a teenager. It is also true that I know older couples who were high school sweethearts also and are celebrating decades of marriage, but they married for the right reasons also.
