marrage at the age of 16

I don't think it's a very good idea :/

You can't be ready for marriage at an age so young.

Best of luck to you though, truly.

Is it okay that i am worried of what people (like my friends) will say about me and my boyfriend getting married and moving in together????

congratulations. but 16. thats crazy. WAY TOO EARLY imo for marriage

well, 16 is a very young age for anything. I think that if your belief system prevents an abortion than it's good you are taking responsibility. I don't think you should get married just because; however. Five months is not a long enough time to truly know anyone. Besides you should focus first on your pregnancy and if marriage comes later then good. I know you don't want to consider adoption, but you have to consider if you will be able to provide for the baby...seeing as you are a child yourself. anyhow.....make sure you have some adult figure to give some guidance.

until then:
1. prenatal vitamins
2. Maybe a parenting book.....amazon?
3. Start putting money in a savings account
4. Get a good Dr. .... this site helps you search for ones in your area urhealthstyle.com has some.
5. Map out a plan, so you can have things in order before the baby

My mates 16 and shes getting married. Personally i think she is stupid. They havent been together long and he is going to Iraq to fight in the war. So she wont see him much. But its your choice if you think your mature enough then do it.

That's the most stupid idea I've ever heard

I wouldn't if I were you. o_O

Finish school.
Go to college.

Give relationships longer than 5 months before talking about marriage.

don't worry about what ur friends will think. if there really ur friends they'll want what is best for u? one of my friends are 16 and only two days older than me. her and her b/f are not married b/c they don't want to get married. i think they should get married but if that's what she wants than i'm happy for her. u friend should respect ur wants.

Finish school and university. Education comes before friends.

Actually both, friends are as important, just education needs to be done.
you dont love education over friends at all, education is just important for getting you your career, that doesnt mean frinds arent important.
