why do you want to get married? You're not even an adult yet!
Why do you want to try to live off of what two uneducated, untrained people can earn? Why do you want to have to pay bills, manage a budget, manage a household, survive in an adult world LONG before you should have to?
Do you think that the magic that you feel is real? Reality will come calling so soon after you get married, you will wonder what truck ran over you and why it just sits there spinning it's wheels on your back--and, that's only if you have a good marriage!
There is a good reason for requiring people to be grown when they get married--you can't ever back up and be a sweet, innocent, kid again--once grown, always grown; once married, always once-married.
You have no idea of what you are wanting to do. None. It's not possible at your age.

They have been listening to the CW songs. Especially the one about "she's 15, he's barely driving a car" .All that lovely lust engendered by hormones soon degenerates into too many kids, a shabby house, minimum wage jobs, hand to mouth existence, dependance on sullen relatives. Then, eventually, too many overdrawn credit cards and dependance on sullen tax-payers-like me.Welfare!!Then he takes off and there you are-single,desperate mother of 8 looking to Salvation Army for hand-out.
Stay home, go to school, stay out of trouble, do not get pregnant or get married or catch a disease. Grow up!
I'll bet you didn't hear a word I said.

My response:

You forgot "slack-jawed" relatives.

I can just see this kid, 3 years from now - - a slip over dress that's frayed, barefoot, a kid in each arm, and pregnant - - AGAIN !

You ever met him?

You may legally be able to get married, but without your parents support, you have no chance of bringing him to the US.
