Would you get married at 15?

[babypinko8]

No. There are lots of things we can do at the age of 15 when not married. Ill be missing a lot if i get married at a young age. =)

[Power_of_Angel]

15?  grabe ha! that was time na natataranta pa ako sa pag-aaral.
As long na mayaman naman mapapangasawa ko na kaya niya akong buhayin all the time as in sure lifetime na ang finances bakit hindi? 

pero seriously kung babalik ako sa age na yan. kahit siya na ang AT ALL, of course hindi dahil mas maganda pa rin kung makakatapos ako ng high school at college. Gusto ko naman mabuhay na may naachieve ako noh! saka iba pa rin kung career woman ka.

No, because I won't be able to become a superstar when I have a married life to attend to and prioritize. I can't become a pilot or lawyer too because I won't pass the exams if I have to attend to my "must-be-perfect-husband"'s demands. The thing is, I'm fifteen and I have the rest of my life to discover what else I can become before being called a Mrs.

[Toy_addict]

Of course not. I can't even imagine myself getting married period. I want to accomplish so many things in life, that I cannot do once married. Marriage is something that ties people down, you are not only responsible for yourself anymore, but someone else and aside from another person, you need to care and nurture the relationship you are in, and if you have kids, that's even more of a responsibility. I don't think anyone should rush into marriage, one should only marry, if the individual is satisfied with his/her life already, and has achieved most if not all the things you've always wanted to do. One must know herself or himself and feel complete as yourself before you even decide to get into a relationship, You cannot rely on someone else to complete you, you must be complete to begin with, because that's the only sign that one is prepared to be in a relationship, because you have already found yourself, and do not need someone else to fill in your gaps.

15? well, since 19 na ako pwede na ako magsalita nang tapos. hindi! haha pero honestly, nung 15 pa lang ako, marriage is a big no no. grabe,. haha nde ko tlga ma-imagine. pero alam ko nowadays meron nang ganyan. oh well  

[Mommys_Girl]

Of course not, I'm 15 and I can't imagine getting married now in such a young age. There are still many things in store for me and I don't think I have enough experience to handle that much responsibility. Besides, I'm still enjoying my carefree teenage years.

[^eLcEe^]

No I wouldn't be able to adhere to my duties as a student and as a good daughter if ever that happened. Besides, the world would still need me.

[sAssY_LaUrEn10]

WOOH? No. I AM TOO YOUNG. Considering that I think of a 26 year old woman is too young to marry, what more if you're 15? At 15, your personality hasn't been fully developed, so is your body, and so is your mind. Getting into a marriage would mean a lot of responsibilities a 15 year old could not face. Let's admit. At 15, I would still be dependent on my parents (I haven't turned 15 yet. Next month) and I am not mature yet. Marriage isn't something I could deal with. It's not like any other Teen Issues I experience everyday. Marriage would mean a lifetime bond. A lifetime, for me, is a tough word to hold on to at this age. College issues make me nervous. What more kung marriage na ang pinaguusapan?

[aznbelle89]

No.
I'm 16 years old now and I still can't imagine getting married at this age!
I want to accomplish a lot before I get married. When I was 13, I thought I knew everything. But when I turned 15, I reread my diaries from when I was 13 and realized how naive I still was. From then on, I understood that I still have so much growing up to do.
I don't want to get married until I feel like I've been through a great deal of growing up as an individual. I know that in the course of a marriage, both of you will have some more maturing to go through -- but I think that those should more be like maturing as a couple.
Also, I want to have a job and be capable of moving out from my parents' house when I get married. At age 15, that's just impossible. Its hard to make a marriage survive when you're that young... And considering that I only want to get married once, I don't want to risk it.

[im_reAL]

No! I'm 15 and for crying out loud, "bata pa po ako!" hehe.. i'm not ready for the responsibility marriage brings! tsaka hindi naman ako masyadong excited nun?? 15? waaaaaaaahh.. madami pa kong gustong gawin sa buhay ko before marrying.. gusto ko may maipagmamalaki naman ako sa anak ko, like i graduated in college at this school blah blah.. ganun

[sHiEyAnN_2109]

NO! I have a lot of things to do in my life, goals to achieve and duties to my family.!
I'm not yet ready for the responsibilities, obligations and complexity of marriage.
I want to be satisfied before I settle down. Coz like what Ate Alex said, there are a lot things you won't be able to do once you get married.

[LaDy`wiZaRd]

NO!! im 15 now and that didn't get into my mind yet. .

it's crazy. i want to finish my studies first and enjoy being a teenager!!!

[cUteygaL]

Absolutely not! There are lots of things in store for me, and singlehood is not a bad thing.. being single expresses freedom and its better to be free than to hold tons of responsibilities.
