Too young to be married: good or bad?

Hello my friends,
I would like to speak about ‘too young to be married: good or bad?’
As you see, there has been a great deal of discussion on the problem of too young to be married in this country. The discussion includes: Is too young to be merried good or bad?
Whether too young to be married mentally ready or not? However, in this discussion I would like to talk from different side.
To begin with, let me say that on one hand married young is one way to cover up a bad problem, such as married by accident. Let’s look at the fact about too married to be young.
When a country faces the problem of married young, the government should find methods to solve it. For example: provide education about the result of a young marriage,
government added jobs for the unemployed, etc.
On the other hand, there was a young man who was married to their negative effect. As psychology is not ready to navigate the ship of life, both biologically not to reproduce.
The end they often fight and eventually they will get divorced, because they are emotionally unstable.They are also economic factors did not fulfill their lives, they ultimately rely on their parents.Other impacts after they divorced child conceived will be canceled or will remove their children after birth later.
Positive:
 Married young is one way to cover up a bad problem, such as married by accident.
 More could be responsible
Negative:
 The psychology is not ready to navigate the ship of life, both biologically not to reproduce.
 The end they often fight and eventually they will get divorced, because they are emotionally unstable.
 They are also economic factors did not fulfill their lives, they ultimately rely on their parents.
 Other impacts after they divorced child conceived will be canceled or will remove their children after birth later.

In conclusion, for all these reasons we say that the negative effects many rather than positive effects. So, we shouldn’t imitate actions because the actions is bad actions.

But just look at us holding on

The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night

Look at what we would be missin'

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
