Not sure if this subject have been brought up yet or not, but I'd like to discuss this issue with you guys.
Why is it that Hmong people are getting married at such a young age in America? I've seen girls that got married at age 12!!! That's just crazy don't you guys think? Many of my female cousins and some of the girls I know got married at around 16 and under. The guys on the other hand usually married at 20 and under. In my opinion, I think this is rediculous.
I mean, do you guys already have the thoughts of raising a family at 15, 16, 17, or even 12!? Many of the times, the married couples can't even support themselves yet. Both are still either in school or just working part time jobs and living off of their parents.
I've just turned 20 and I can't even imagine myself raising a family at this age. To be honest, I still feel like a kid at times. B) So I don't know how one is able to take on such a role at such young ages. My theory is that kids are watching too much dramas and turning it into a reality. Also, I feel like there's some sort of insecurity among kids these days. The thoughts of "If I lose him or her, I might not find another person" or feeling left out because all their friends have lovers. Many times, I even sense a sense desperation from some of these kids and it's just crazy. Therefore, I don't believe many of these marriages are that of anything serious but more of playing family.
I don't intend to offend anyone so please don't take this personal in any way. So what are some of your thoughts on this issue?
