The year is..............1992
What were you doing??
Trying to figure out why at 17(1991) I got married and got seperated 5 months later. And Working and so proud of getting my GED ( i got it the same month I was to graduate The GED teachers tried to get the school to let me walk with my class and they said NO). I am remarried now and got my beautiful girls :)
Quoting Threescoops:
I was 17 and stupidly engaged to my first husband and missing my opportunity to experience my senior year with friends and having fun. My only real regret in life.
So, you didn't go back to your high school your senior year or you just didn't go back to school?
Your parents were okay with you getting married at 17?
I was ten, so in the fifth grade and absolutely miserable. I hid in my room most of the time and only came out for meals and school.

My parents tried to steer me away from getting serious so young with him. I didn't want to listen. We met when I was 15 and he was 16. He asked me to marry him a year later. I said yes. I only had eyes for him. I was a very shy kid in school too, so it was easy for me to loose myself in just him. I had extra credits, so I actually graduated mid year, and turned 18 in December and we got married in February. The day of my wedding, my dad said, you know you don't have to do this? I felt like I did, even though I had reservations about it. We seperated after a year and divorced just shy of 2 years of marriage.
My regret is that I was so into him I pushed all my friends away and didn't want to hang out with them. Didn't go to prom, didn't have girl hangout time etc. Atleast not until I was 20 and divorced and asked all my friends to forgive me and then I had that.
