TEEN MARRiAGE.

Why are so many people against teen marriage? its simply because studies show that today, teenage marriages are two to three times more likely to end in divorce than are marriages between people 25 years of age and older. Thats about 66% and is a pretty high divorce rate. Even though way more than half of teen marriages doesnt last, some actually do. In the United States, half of teen marriages will dissolve within fifteen years of the marriage. To me, i think most teens will marry for all the wrong reasons. Of course the teens think that their reasons are all well validated. Pregnancy is a top contender when it comes to why a teen would get married. The teen pregnancy rate is very high in this country. It is estimated that in the United States of America there are 1.3 million babies born out-of-wedlock each year. Another reason i think a teen would consider marriage is to get out of their parents home. they may feel that their parents expect too much from them. Maybe they feel like they have too many responsibilities and they tire of having to answer for them. Maybe the teens hate their jobs and school. Well these just aren't good reasons to get married. Teen marriages take a lot of work to maintain. I suggest if you know someone who is trying to get married at a young age, you tell them to wait till there 20's. Maybe it'll last longer. .
