Hey guys... opinion here.

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

I have a 16 year sister who's married. Yeah, married... She got married back in September to an 18 year old who just graduated 3 months before. They had only been going out for 5 months, and then I come home one day in August, and my sis is showing off an engagement ring, and I'm just sitting there thinking "Ok, that was a good joke." Then I hear them talking about when they want to plan the wedding. They were fucking serious? She's 16 fucking years old! She can't do this! Well... my parents allowed it. I have no fucking clue why. They never told me why, but I've got a feeling my sis was willing to run away if they didn't allow it. She's thought about it before. So, with my parents' reluctant blessing, they got married in another county (it was illegal for minors to marry in the county I live in). She now lives with him in a trailer home. She goes to a new school and her hubby makes a living on a loading dock. I still think she was too young for that. My parents do too... but they are like "oh well".

 

Ok TSM... let's say your my parents in 2004 when my sister told ya she wants to get married. What do you say? How do you react? What do ya do about the aftermath?

I would say that that is pretty messed up. I think 16 is way too young to even contemplate marriage. I doubt that they'll last long as they are both *probably* immature and unable to support themselves properly.

"See you on Springer in a few years."

 

Really, there is nothing they could have done as far as I know. If she threatened to run away, best to just shrug the shoulders and let her screw up her life.

 

Least they have a home and they aren't living with the rents.

This is another problem with white culture (OMG RAYCIST~!)

 

I kind of am surprised when I hear of all my white friends who talk about how their parents automatically let them leave or do what they want after they turn eighteen, or if they make a mistake the automatic response is to let them leave and screw up their life. THEY ARE YOUR KIDS! Keep on taking care of them, whether that means tough love or not. Unconditional love puts the foot down when the girl makes a stupid decision like that.

 

*RAYCIST~! mode off*

 

Your parents made the wrong decision, so did your sister. You'll all regret it in a few years time.

One opinion I offer, is to beat the hell out of her husband for being a total idiot and asshole for bringing her down with him. Sure, she'll be pissed at you for a while, and you may get charges pressed against you, but the benefits far exceed the repercussions.

For this reason, it makes sense for your parents to take an apathetic view, considering that she'll learn her lesson from fucking up with her life. Reality is the harshest teacher of them all, with my English professor ranking a close second.

I guess so. I just am not a firm supporter of the "School of Hard Knocks" as I've been through a lot in my life and don't like having to see other suffer similar situations.

I'd say okay, then I would cut off all ties to her and if she ever thought to ask me for a damn thing, I'd beat the shit out of her for even thinking it was okay.

 

 

Before she left though, I might wanna fill her up with cement to prevent any gene pool malfunctions.

Same here, but there are some situations where people just dive so far into a pile of shit that they wouldn't know how to get out if they had a shovel. I wouldn't wish what I went through the past couple years on a lot of people, but it was the best way to get my life on track and get myself together, though at 16 it's kind of a tossup on whether they should be responsible enough to learn that on their own or if their parents should have taken a bit more responsibility.

 

For example, I know this girl, and we have strikingly similar personalities. She fucked up early in life and got pregnant at 14, but couldn't go through with the abortion, so she gave it up for adoption, and then decided that the time she'd taken off from school was enough to justify her doing homeschooling. Her parents reluctantly agreed, but then she decided to stop doing her homework as well. She didn't get a job, or do anything, but now she's 19 turning 20 this year, and has yet to do anything of value with her life, and I blame it solely on her parents letting her run wild and do whatever the fuck she wants. In that case it's different however, because her parents sheltered her and kept her comfy and living while she hasn't bothered to get a job or finish up high school. I know my mom would have gotten on my case if I acted the same way, but I was smart enough to fuck with the system and get things to go in my favor, that's a whole other story, though.

 

This girl will learn on her own what it is to prematurely start a family and fuck up.
