    I'm guessing you already know the sort of reaction you're going to get from telling them?

    How is the rest of your life together going? At such a young age how are your finances, do you live with your boyfriend and child?

    How did your parents react to your boyfriend getting pregnant and having a child?

    Why do you want to get married?

    I know this is more questions to add to your questions, but the info will really help!

    Well start to think about why you're wanting to get married. Are you two stable? Are you really ready? I might understand that you two would want to be an "official" family seeing as you and your boyfriend have a son together. I mean, write out your reasons for wanting to get married, list the pros and cons of this union, list all barriors and if the pros outweigh the cons then I suggest you show your chart to your family, show them you're responsible enough to think of EVERYTHING and then let them know of the decision you two have made. I'm 22 and got married two years ago and I think I got married way too young but that's just my opinion about my personal situation.

    If you were big enough to have a baby why your parents
    Should have a problem of you getting married to this guy.
    I believe you must finish what you stated girl.
    I hope your parents will grand you their blessings
    You won't be the first person to get married at this age.
    But remember that marriage is not always about honey moons
    You must be able to deal with the ups and downs because
    Challenges help us to grow and be better people,
    And it will also depend how do you respond to the
    Problems of marriage to make it a success.

    Good luck in getting engaged I wish you all the best.
