I don't care about people getting married too early, because the only thing they're messing with is themselves. Whereas teenage pregnancy is bringing another life into the mess.

That being said, I think very few ARE ready for marriage at a young age (as in, 18... not 16) - but too many people see marriage as a way to save a flagging relationship.

I'm quite traditional with marriage, I think the vows SHOULD mean something, and it should be for life (though this is quite simplistic).

True but marrige and teenage pregnancy seem to go hand in hand these days.

I totally agree with you. Marriege means alot to me, I wouldn't have gotten married unless I was 100% sure about it.
