    How about the option of just waiting another couple of years?

    My goodness, you have plenty of time to get married. If you love each other, then it doesn't matter what a piece of paper says about it!

    If your love is true it can wait for the right time. Pregnancy is a bad option and should not be considered. Signing papers is not an option either. You both must wait until you can support yourselves and each other. Use this time to prepare yourself with the skills it will take to be self sufficient, and independent, the keys to a good marriage. Marriage is a big step that you really must be ready for, as its more than playing house and being in love, and until you get all the facts and skills to go with it, wait till you do. If its forever, whats the hurry???

    Do NOT use a baby in order to sign a piece of paper.

    Why the rush? Are you trying to find a way to live with him and get out of your own house?

    The only way for her to know what she's getting herself into is to wait ten years, get an education, find a job, and live on her own before starting a family.

    Exactly! There are reasons those laws are in place. What is going to change between you two in the next few years if you aren't married? I mean, if you are serious enough to want to get married, then nothing should change. Marriage is just a paper, it doesn't change your relationship any. Also you can not legally rent or even own a home at this point. Where will the two of you live? You aren't finished with school and can't drive, if you drop out of school, you won't be able to get a license, how will you transport a baby to/from appointments and what not. Please don't say you will burden your parents, they are already raising a child. Having a baby to get married is wrong, esp. at your age. What's another few years. Finish school and go to college before starting a family. College is hard as it is, and it will take longer and be more difiicult if a child is involved.

    Do you have financial foundation on getting married?
    Not mention mentally, emotionally, the simple financial foundation is not met, why would you decide to get married?

    Plain and simple just don't do it. Relationships get very complicted especially when you get older. You really need to finish growing into yourself and figuring out what your goals ion life are

    Getting pregnant only gets you a baby, not married, your mother would still have to sign for you to be married even if you have a baby.

    So if mom will not sign, you just can't get married period...

    Yes yes. I actually lived on my own for a while first and then with my now husband before we tied the knot. I am young myself (22) but I have a job, I'm getting my BA next year, and my husband has a career. You are not even out of high school yet. As what kattalover said, you gota make sure you have your own situation set first before you go onto marriage, because marriage is a LOT of work.

    PLEASE don't use a baby as an excuse to get married... and please wait a while before you get married anyways. You're 15... you have your life ahead of you, you have time.

    I'm 17 and I'm getting married next year. You can wait. My boyfriend and I were together when we were 14 and 15 until now... so I know how you feel, because I felt that I was rady for marriage at that age also... but you guys can wait a couple years, and just look forward to growing together as a couple.
