Marriage
George Bernard Shaw once wrote “You might have married him not because you loved him, but because you didn’t love anybody else. When one is young, one marries out of mere curiosity, just to see what its like’. I feel this quote very strong because I agree. Teens now and days are getting pregnant and getting married as if it is the new trend. These girls and guys don’t know what they are getting themselves into. I feel like they are just doing it to see how it really is to get married or have a “family”. At this age guys don’t want to have a family already they want to have fun with friends and go out and just enjoy their youth or college life for instant. Most guys now in days and I’m not saying all of them but majority they leave their girlfriends. It is like a new trend going around town. It is not a good thing but it is the truth and it is very sad because it takes two to get pregnant or get married. Most girls and guys get married because they have to or because their parents are making them. So by Mr. Shaw saying that one marries out of curiosity it is true! They want to see how “real life is”.
The way I see things is that it is not right. I plan to have a family one day but that is not until the future and when I am ready. Not because I want to see how it feels. My sister for instant got married and pregnant at a young age and she tells me that her life isn’t what I want. She tells me she is happy about everything but if she could go back in time she would and would’ve waited a little longer to start a family. Seeing her makes me not want to do something dumb like that. I want to live my life to the fullest. Make mistakes and travel, see different parts of the world, and learn new things. When I see a really young girl with a ring on her finger it gets me sad because she hasn’t really lived her life. She basically planned the rest of her life and it is sad. I hope that this doesn’t happen to my little cousin because I want her to learn new things and just live her life to the fullest.
That is really true that if your not in love it isn't love.Just because your married doesn't mean that you are going to love hi for the rest of the lives.most the people who don't love each other at marriage there marrige get divorce in a month or two
ReplyDeleteCeci! I absolutely love how you integrated the current events about teen pregnancy into this post.especially because the quote is true with what is occuring with these teenagers nowadays because we are all curious about how life really is.Then you take it to the next level to put in the actual life experience with your sister and that makes the post even more interesting.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. I agree with you one hundred percent. It is sad seeing someone young, fresh, new to the world and already have everything set out for them in life. I think that it’s the parent’s responsibilities to keep a better eye out on their children and informing them the consequences of getting pregnant or having sex in general. But in my opinion, I think the girl has more of a blame, because she should be the one watching out for herself making sure that her partner is well protected and has balloon at all times. Not only that, guys tend to get immature and make sex into a fun activity to pass the time and feel accomplished when in reality they should see this and take this very seriously, because this can one day affect someone’s life and not only theirs, but also their family’s.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your interpretations and thoughts about this quote. I believe that many teens are getting pregnant without truly looking at the long term effect. A baby isn't something you can just forget about the next day its a huge responsibility for a young teen! Many of the teens in this day and age have sadly become very nieve about this subject in life.
