Is it too soon to become engaged when you're still in highschool, even though you and your significant other have gone out for a year? And how long is long enough to wait to get married after becoming engaged?

[LeonS]

It all depends on you as a person, as we don't actually know how your feelings work.

Trust yourself, and i'am sure you'll make the right choices.

[LordGrace]

For you, yes. Way too soon.
Come on, you've already cheate don her just to practise kissing her, you still have a crush on your best friend I think, she doesn't trust you with her at least, you're in some messed up scanrio with the girl on the internet, you're considering a sex change...

I think you need to stop rushing into everything and think about what it is you really want. If you want to marry her, fine, buit wait a few years and sort your head out first. There's a lot of stuff in there. Marriage is a huge deal and you shouldn't even think about it untill you're certain she's all you're going to want for the rest of your life. The be honest, I don't think anybody knows that at your age after such a short time. I think after 2 years of being together you've had a fair idea of how you get on.

[Denz]

It would be to soon if
1.) You cant even take a pee without asking someone if its ok
2.) You dont even really know if you like this person
3.) You have cheated on them
4.) You fancy someone else
5.) You have a tendency to think things through poorly

I'm not to sure on all the info on getting egaged and stuff,as it's different in different countries.But all the same,in the sceme of things,a year isn't a very long time in releationship terms.^ and from what people have listed above,maybe you should think more about what your thinking of doing.As Grace says,Marrige is a huge commitment,and you are still young.And however much you love your girlfriend now,there are still many other people out there you havn't met yet.I think you should wait a fair while longer before considering marrige.

i am engaged and i am in high school. i think that it is up to the both of you to decide when you are ready to get married

[tehfincheh]

I'd have severe problems getting engaged while i was still in education, as a matter of principle.

[Cilla*]

.....

Yes.

[Sammeh]

i went out with my girlfriend for years before we decided to get engaged, and that didnt work out..so based on my personal experience, yes but it doesnt necessarily have to do with high school.

[idiotmonkey12]

I was talking to a girl in my class about this. She's 25, been in a relationship for 3 years and oddly enough so have I. The difference is that she has already graduated hs and college, while I am here at massage school, didn't even go to college yet. She said that she got engaged in hs and it didn't work out because the guy she was with at the time was immature blah blah blah, but also because she didn't know enough about herself. She said she changed since she graduated and went onto college. She told me to take it as a blessing that my bf hasn't proposed because I don't know myself very well and I should know completely who I am before I make a lifelong commitment. Hope that helps ya!

DUDE!! Of course you are too young to get married! You're still in high school! At least get established in a career first! DO you plan on going to college? You should also date several girls/guys before you even THINK about getting married. This is why the divorce rate in the United States is so High!!! (50%+ divorce rates btw). Believe me, if you just jump into marriage, it will be full of problems.

If you don't listen and do g e t married though, DO NOT HAVE KIDS until you have a good income. In my opinion, No Marriage until Financially Stable. $$$$

[ed]

I'd say so

[Lufthansa]

in this situation inparticular, it is too soon.

but, then again, i can't really talk, because my situation is nordinary, and im a hs senior, and me and my gf have already talked about commitment for the long-term, and we've only been goingoutfor...4months (well, it'll be 4 months on the 30th)

[Sarah!]

My parents got engaged after 8 months of seeing each other but they were also like 34 when it happened.

[lala_lovinit]

Im 19 and engaged. We are getting married in 5 monthes. But we've been dating 3 years and both knew we were "the one" by the 2nd month, we just didnt want to rush into anything. Sometimes when you know you just know. But from what ive read aboiut youre situation, youre not ready, you should know for sure thats its who you want to spend the rest of your life with. I see more and more people using an engagement as leverage to try and pull a failing relationship back. But it usually makes things worse.
