    Thank you to everyone who commented :) Okay, time for my responses. *ahem*

    To LittleMissEclectic, hi.my.name.is.steph, Airi-chan: If people were not idiots, the ones who use their brains wouldn't have half as much fun trying to understand and get their point across. Moving in seems like a good idea, but then why get married in the first place if you're roomies and you see the stuff they wish to hide from you? Having secrets is a rather tasty part of life.

    To The Lante Express: If you please glance at the title, I believe the first word was "Youth". Most adults learn from their past and put more effort into thought before action, but some still stubbornly cling to their rose-misted view and therefore overlook the possibility of betrayal, rejection and distaste.

    To asteroid, Lu Lu Loves You: Firstly: congratz, Lu Lu, hope it lasts a lifetime. Just because I feel that fickle people such as young ones should not undergo a long-term commitment doesn't mean I don't hope it works out against all odds. Not that I'm optimistic, but sometimes a pair does tend to stay together for a long time.

    To Rhys Webb: That's great that it worked out for them, it's a testament to the strength of human emotions and/or will to stick to a commitment. It affects me because everyone around me from high school is getting married and they can't stop giving me all this "love is great, therefore marriage is awesome" garbage. If you had those people constantly yak at you about it, wouldn't you be annoyed?

    Blonde.: Thank you. You tickle me.

    Remember, take none of this personally, it's all in good fun!

    Uhm... Not always. My aunt and uncle were married at 17 and 19, are approaching their sixties and they're still together.

    I don't personally believe in marriage and would prefer to be wheelin' my whole life, but don't be so judgmental about other people's choices. I really don't see how those decisions would affect you.

    I agree on some parts but not all of it. If the two have been together for a few weeks to month and are already throwing marriage into the mix then I agree it's going to fast. I also slightly disagree because my high school crush is the one I'm marrying in a little over two weeks. I've known him since I was little because his mother use to babysit me so I had no problem with him proposing a month after we started dating. We've been engaged for a little over three years now. :)

    I think at any age people need to put more thought into who they're marrying. It's not just young people, a lot of older people rush into marriage as well. A lot of people don't think about what may or may not change and they just rush into getting married.

    That's generally true, but not always. One of my teachers had some friends get married in high school, and they're still happily together to this day. High school for them was over thirty years ago, too.

    I was actually thinking about this today. Lately people have been throwing around words and commitment like it's nothing but they don't understand what it means because the world is full of IDIOTS!

    Agreed. I also strongly encourage cohabitation before you take the "plunge," people tend to change after you move in with them. Well it's not really a change you just see the "real" them since you're with them 24/7.
