A reader, anonymous, writes (16 July 2009):

I don't think you are too young-as long as your not planning to get pregnant anytime soon cos personally 17 seems a bit young for that-mabey 27ish is a good age to start-anyway I know I won't be ready for a few years and I'm 21-but as far as getting legally married is concerned I'd go for it if you really love the guy and it feels right-you'll know what I'm talking about if it does,if however you are having doubts from your heart and not just from what other people are saying about your age I would wait awhile-but if it is purely the age thing your worried about do it-just say hypothetically you were wrong and it didn't work out you could always get divorced-but remember that you can't divorce a child.Plus being married dosen't have to make you old and boring-you would be just like you are now except you would see more of each other,everyone would know you were in love,you wouldn't be living in sin,and you can still go to school or work-if you are worried about this sit down and ask him what his expectations are when you get married,if he loves you I'm sure he would encourage you to carry on your education if thats what you want,some couples each have a part time job instead of one working and the other staying home,mabey that would appeal to you two-it sounds like you are a very lucky girl to have found love with a wonderful person at such a young age-good luck,whatever you do

SirenaBlusera agony auntDaniel is right... at 17, you don't even know who you are! No one does. I think you should wait until you have stability in your life.

PsychoVenom777 agony auntI personally think you are a bit too young cause you need to grow up and experience different loves. I know that when you are in love, it's different and you feel you will NEVER love anyone else except this one man, but things change. I mean, I might be wrong cause I don't know the situation. But think it over more. You are a special girl and deserve to experience different things before you go right to it. :)

Danielepew agony auntYes, you are too young to marry. It might not seem that way to you, but you haven't finished growing emotionally. This is not the moment to marry.

Also, I suppose you want to study and find a way to do for a stable living before you take this step.

Jason32477 agony auntIf you don`t know what to do then the answer is not to get married.Explain your feelings to your boy friend and if he loves you he will understand.
