Is age really just a number?
As the late R&B singer, Aaliyah, once said, "age ain't nothing but a number." Do you agree or disagree with this quote in relation to Patria marrying Pedrito at the young age of seventeen in IBF? Patria is the same age of a junior in high school (YOU). If you found true love, would you marry someone at the age of seventeen? Why or why not? What are 3-4 important factors that you would heavily consider before making this choice? If you even talked about getting married now,what would be the reaction of your family, friends, etc and why?

i disagree with this because its not right for someone so young to go out with some body a few years older then them .i wouldnt marry anyone at the age of seventeen because i still have a life a head of me and alot of dreams and adventures that i still want to take.if i was to marry i would make sure im with that person for them and they're with me for me.i would also make sure i really am in love with them and not in love with what they do i would think twice because i dont want to be with someone that i cant deal with on a daily bases.If i wus to talk about getting married at a young age my family and friends wouldnt apporve they would ask me questions like what about college and if a baby appears how will we take care of it how will wwe provide for ourselves and the baby am i sure i want to go threw with this

I disagree because while that older person lives on he/she already went though what ever your going though now. There's a thing called change and change is something everyone goes through. As we as young adults go through our changes' now; that adult that's got a thing for you has already been through that. I could understand per-presser or you family getting involved but take a good look at the person in the mirror because that's the person you should listen too the most.
ReplyDeleteI agree age is nothing but a number. Love comes in many forms. Love has a different meaning for everyone. Personally, if I found love at seventeen I would not get married. I can be with that person but I don’t want to get married so soon. Marriage is a momentous step in life and at the age of seventeen I think a lifetime commitment is nearly impossible. Also the temptation to cheat is higher than that of an older person. Most importantly at that age you can like someone today and forget them tomorrow. However that doesn’t mean that love at seventeen be genuine. If I was to consider getting married my family would probably be shocked. My mother would without a doubt say it’s not happening, especially while you’re still in school because school is a major priority. My male friends would probably say why stop the fun now because being with one girl at seventeen is almost taboo. My female friends would ask what is so special about this girl that you want to marry her now because it’s such a bold choice

ReplyDeleteI feel that if you have found true love at 17 or any other age you should get married. True love is true love no matter what if the person really loves you than age should not matter, but even still people sometimes feel so embarrassed or they feel if they reveal there ages that they will be rejected. In other words most people can relate to the topic because if you fall in love at what ever age it should just be like that . Think about what would your family and friends approve of this relationship or not. It matters if the person is underagebut if not then leave them alone and let them live there lives. What if theres a point where the person is 15 years old and the other person is 25 years old if thats the case then the authority's will like to get involved the parties were to be caught i feel that the couple were to remain together true love is BEAUTIFUL and RARE.
i believe you can love some one at the age of sventeen but the thing about marriage i dont know about it .but i do agree with the quote becuase love come in differnet shapes and sizes one thing i would think about before marrage is she the one i would want to be with for the rest of my life.two will i be happy with her .three do she really love me for what i am or the money ?????
ReplyDeletei think if i talk about marrage to my family i think they would take me serious but somethink they would say is do you really love her and why now why not after college first they going to want to move in with you eat your food so i think you dont do it unse you are rally
i disagree with the quote stated by aliah because age does matter no matters if your in love or not you still have to be careful what you do and who and how you talk to them.first off pedrio is wrong i believe in liking someone but falling in love and marrying them at a teen age is impossible even though people believe it or going through it right now i dont believe it.pedrio is making a big mistake that she will regret. i would consider her to make the wrong choice and feel for the mistakes later. my family,friends,etc would consider me to make the right decision about getting married because they already know how i am if thingsndont go my way i regret it and feel for it later.
