I would never want to marry at a teenager. One of my high school friends, Mai, once told me that she wanted to get marry when she finished high school. I was shock! She blamed that her parents didn't let her stay out late and sometime even forbid her from hanging out with her friends. From there, she created conflict with her mom and dad. For these reasons, she planned to marry and move out with her boyfriend just to fulfill her need and to revenge her parents. I thought she was joking. From what I unexpected, she married at an age of 18 and the following year, she gave birth to her daughter. When I look at her now, I feel sorry. Mai no longer looks athletic and out going like she used to be, instead, she looks depress and mystery. The expression on her face tells me that she feels ashamed to see me. She has made the biggest mistake in her life, and now, I know, she regrets. I would never want to be like her. Her story teaches me the biggest lesson. For whatever reasons, I would never want to marry at an early age. I am not ready to have my own family, and it's a distraction to my life and education.
I am not ready to marry at an early age. As a young age, I am not mature enough to start my own family. I am not ready to take responsibility as a wife or as a mom. I can't be committed to anyone yet, not even to the one I really love. As a young age, I don't have ability to judge whom would be a good husband or a good father. I don't want to make the decision too early and regretted later. I don't want to go thru the divorce. I don't have enough money to marry and to move out. I can't imagine myself working all day long and going home worry about weather I and my husband have enough money to pay for the rents and bills. As a teenager, I don't want to stay home every night to cook dinner and watch out my children, while my friends are having fun at parties. I don't want to take these responsibilities while I am still too young.
