- I know what you mean. Why is it that people this young feel it necessary to get
- married so quickly. They both have so much growing up to do, in 2 or 3 years
- they are going to be almost totally different people. Believe me I know. I just
- recently broke up with the girl of my dreams(supposedly). I had gone out with
- her since I was 17 years old(I am now 21) and it was mainly because we had both
- grown apart from each other.

- Basically, if you are between the ages of 17 and 22 and you are thinking about
- getting married. Think a little about what you are doing. There are so many
- more factors involved than just being in love with someone. Unless, of course,
- you won the lottery and will be getting $300,000 a year from the goverment.
