I wan to run away and get married and my age is 17 and the boy is 21 what can happen?

Don't do it I've done it and its so not worth it. He can go to jail ans you can end up in trouble also.. Getting married at your age honey isn't the wisest thing I hate to say it may the biggest regret in your life. Think things out don't be pressured in to anything. I don't want to criticize you but don't do, plan your future with other things you want to do and accomplish don't start with marriage. I married at 18 with 3 children and divorced by 25 left with the kids and no help... So please make no rash dicesions..


Take care

What are you running from??

You can't do that. You have to be 18 to get marry and if you get marry before the age of 18 your going need a parent consent.

Don't do it... You are very young at least in age; mabe not maturity but I can't tell that yet from this post. I see he's older so he shouldn't be telling you to run off if he is. Maintain the respect you've got from your parents by not doing that and if you don't have that respect I am sorry but still don't run off. Get yourself to planned parenthood in your area too for birth control if you haven't already. They can also lead you in the direction for counseling on this issue but we're always here too!

If you have financial means to support yourself, permission from your parents or live somewhere it's legal for you to marry at 17 without, then what can happen is you might live happily ever after.

Are BOTH of those things already 100% true? If not, you're already toast. What can happen is you can destroy your life and his by trying this. And that is SO unnecessary.

If you love each other, seek sanity. That's hard when you're "madly in love", but it's necessary. You CAN just be in love and not act like your every day is the end of the world if you don't get married.

In simpler words, you don't have to act crazy and call it romance. Seek sanity.

What can I do to get motivated for college and o begin a new life

Get good grades in high school and since your 17 start looking into different colleges. Do you do what you want to do? For example be a techer, nurse,etc.

Why marry? Why not be together get good grades, get a nice job

Then think about it

Go to your nearest college and talk to some one about classes you would like to take and they will help you with financing to if yiu need it only takes one call to get started. I would even talk to your high school counsler and see what they say...


Good luck to you
