Personally I think it is after getting to know a woman more who married when she was 16 and gave birth when she was 18.
Divorced at 20 and only enrolled in Uni / got employed part time at the age of 24.
She realies heavily on support from her family and told me personally her life's been a struggle, fair enough but I hate how she doesn't think it's partly her fault
(or maybe she knows it but she's too proud to admit it)

Things are expensive. Housing. School. Food. Young people these days need to do more with their dollar, and it's worth less than our parents' dollars were. Getting married young is whatever, it doesn't necessarily cost a lot, but having a kid does. The average cost of having a child is a quarter-million dollars over 18 years. I don't know about you, but I can't afford that kind of investment, and I'd assume someone who is under 20 probably can't, either. So having kids young is stupid, yes.
