She had to grow up fast because *gasp* she was from a broken home! :: cue desperate wailing::
But then again, her entire GOAL is to be married. So if you have that little ambition for your entire life, you might as well just get that pathetic little "accomplishment" out of the way early. Maybe she can get a number of them under her belt before 30. If being married is her life's goal... have 5 of those would mean she won at life!

WINNING!
Ugh, I remember being 18 and thinking I should totally get married to prove that I wouldn't make the same mistakes my divorced parents made. It was so ridiculous, and it certainly would have ended in divorce. Getting married to prove someone wrong is probably one of the worst reasons.
Of course, I'd also add "because my life's ambition is to be a wife" to the list of terrible reasons. I find it incredibly depressing that she apparently has no ambitions outside of her marital status.
I got married at 23, and I still feel like that was too young and I got super lucky that my H isn't a creepaholic.
And omg at marrying any of the dudes I dated in high school. Barf. ONE OF THEM LARPS.
Right?! I got married at 25, we're disgustingly happy... but I still feel I could've waited. I thought I was totally grown up at 25... and now I look back at that time and just lmfao.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. My parents got married at 18 & 20 I thnk, and although it lasted a long time and they had 4 wonderful children, they got divorced 20 years later. I would assume they were happy for 15 of them, before the unhappy issues started playing a role. So I wonder if a 15 year happy marriage is considered a success or not?
On the other hand, my grandparents got married young too... around 18 or 20 as well. He was military and they got married in Germany where he was based. They've been happily married for over 65 years with six children!

Reading the post, I saw her (understandable) immaturity to be as much a problem as her actual age. Yeah, a teen marriage can work, but one that begins with paternity tests generally doesn't.
Her posts reads like my middle school diary. Well, except the baby-daddying.
Yes. I agree. And I agree with everyone on here about her situation too. I was just pointing out that sometimes it works (however rarely) but it's probably very situation-dependent.
