  • Im 20 years old, with a daughter who is soon to be 5, and a 9 month old son. I am also happily married. Everyone from high school obviously knew that we had a daughter when I was 15 and he was 18..But nowadays they are kinda shocked when I tell them we got married straight out of high school and had another baby. lol. Im a stay at home mom. My friends are in college, partying, working part time jobs, while Im at home with 2 children, married, and buying our first home.
  • Wow its nice to find a group a people like me. My name is Candie, I'm 22 and have been married for almost 2 years, we were high school sweethearts and he's the only guy I've ever been with. He joined the army when we were 19 and got married right after basic training. Now we live in Germany. It's an amazing expience and we get to do a lot of traveling. I love the married life, and couldn't imagine still living with my parents, even though I miss them terribly. No kids, just our 4 year old weiner dog that we bought together after we graduated High School. We want to wait to have kids when we are back in the States and closer to family, which won't be for another 2 years. I work full time at a Credit Union on base, I would die of boredom if I didn't have a job.

    When my friends found out that I was getting married at age 20, they were all really supportive. Some were even a little jelous, mostly because they have had so many failed relationships and they see how happy I am to be in a healthy one.

    We do go out every now and then and hit up clubs and bars, but we have really settled down and are focusing more on saving our money for traveling.

    Would love to make some friends on here, so feel free to add me =)

    Hey I just joined and I loved reading all these stories ^_^ I am 23 (24 in a few days) and will be celebrating my one year anniversary in a week and a half. I met my husband in my second semester at uni and got engaged a mere 8ish months later. I think we were already married in our hearts way before that because the only reason engagement and marriage took so long was money and school. I think that being young and settled means that I get longer to really enjoy my life, rather than longer to figure out how to enjoy my life ^_^

    I was 19 when I got pregnant (planned). I had my son two months after turning 20 and got married 6 months later. Most of the people I knew (friends and coworkers) gave me a really hard time for settling down so young, but I had been living with my boyfriend (now husband) since I turned 18 and we'd been dating since I was 16.

    I am now 24, have a wonderful 4yr old little boy, couldn't love my husband more, I graduated with a Bachelors in June 2012, we own our own home (which we purchased 2yrs ago), and my parents and siblings live in MY home to help them save since renting is so expensive.

    Most of my friends are still out partying and just now settling down into COMMITTED relationships (not even married just not cheating or sleeping around). It's hard because I have no one my own age to relate to. They don't understand why I don't want to go to the bar/club or get drunk. All of the people I can talk to about things are in their late 30s or older. I don't mind too much since I've spent my whole life hanging out with the "grown ups" but it would be nice to have people my age to be friends with.
  • I am 20 now but when it all started I was 15 I met my current husband and we were best friends. We started dating when I was 17 and got married when I was 18. We have been happily married. No kids yet still trying to prepare a little(i know everyone says there is no way to really prepare), but I want to have some money saved up to be able to take care of a child. :)
