^^ don't worry, I gotta couple good laughs outta ur comments...It's funny u talk like u've never heard of anyone marrying a 17yr old before...and u talk about how I knocked her up, like that's the reason I'm marrying her, which isn't...we had planned on getting married before she became pregnant...u can call me dumbass, but you don't know me, If you did u would know I'm not dumb at all...I don't worry about what other ppl(especially E-personalities) say or think, because it isn't up to them whether things are right or wrong, smart or dumb, or will or will not workout(oh yeah, I'll run my paragraphs 2gether again JUST for the person who commented on that...lol...funny $hit)...all in all, it's just more motivation for me to work really hard at the things ppl say will NOT work out...you CANNOT plan out everything which goes on in your life...and a guy at work said some ---- I today which made me feel better, he said that you here ppl say that they are waiting till when they can afford to have kids, but that time will never come, and I already know myself that you are NEVER totally prepared to have kids, no matter what age you are....lol, oh yeah, I'm 27 years old, and although I wish I could, I can no longer consider myself a kid. I wake up at 5am to be at work at 6am, MONDAY THRU SATURDAY...kids(including ALOT of the ones here) are NOWHERE near responsible(or grown) enough to say the same for themselves...

Most of the people who married at 17 ages ago were much more mature than the 17 year olds of today. Heck, 100 years ago people were getting married at 13 and having full time jobs, 60+ hours a week.... even he 18 year olds of today probably can't pull that off.

Okay, so it still seems like you are choosing to marry this chick, but for reasons other than things like "you can't live without her". If your goal is to have kids while you are young, you don't need a chick to do that. I am a Tom Lykis fan, and on his show the other day, he suggested that you don't need to be married to have kids. As soon as you have a kid with a chick, you are giving her control of your life. You will be tied to her until that kid turns 18. Don't give up control of your life! There are many ways to have kids without getting married, or without knocking them up, etc.

Hire a surrogate to have the kid for you.

-or-

Adopt

That way you have a kid, and it's on your terms.

I hope you do think its funny. If your gonna post ---- about your life on the internet, HMT of all places, and you think people arent gonna talk ---- your ------ retarded in the first place. I for one am being 100% honest with what I have said. Stat's and reasoning's are usually pretty dam accurate. I had a friend who married a 17yo and he was 24. Pretty much between the same rocks you are...he pretty much regrets life. Deep down, he knew he had fucked himself but tried to continue to tell himself life was great, his wife was the best thing in the world, young and mature...and he was still getting laid nightly by a fresh -----. That was until his wife... that was 17yo, decided that that baby that she wanted so bad become her life, she didn't have people spoon feeding her anymore and the baby suddenly consumed 24hrs of her life everyday. The baby ended up having a bald spot on her head because the mother neglected the kid while the father (who was 24yo) was at work for 12hrs a day. Sadly enough I dont think they are together anymore and the 17yo mom and wife who was so great is back to being a kid and doesn't know her child. She also was mature, loved life, graduated high school...
