she is too young to handle that decision.

I disagree because I've been in that girl's position before.  My first love I dated from the time I was 15 until I was 18.  He was three years older than me and he was the best thing that ever happened to me.  I'm 19 now and I still love him and he'll always hold a special place in my heart.  We got engaged before my 16th birthday, after almost being together a year.  We were soulmates and we got along great.  I know what it feels like to be so much in love that age doesn't matter.  I would have married my first love if it hadn't been for the stupid mistakes I made while I was with him.  He broke up with me and I'll always regret how I hurt him.  I ruined the best thing I'll ever have in life.  I would be married to him right now if I hadn't screwed up.  So, I know how this young girl feels.  Telling her that she's too young to be engaged isn't right.  Sure she is young, but she's in love and nothing anyone tells her is going to change how she feels.  She has to fol! low her heart and do what she feels is best for herself.  And if her and her boyfriend are not meant to be, they will find that out and learn from it.  But she does need to have him and her parents meet each other!  She needs to do what makes her happy and not what other people think she should do just because she's young.
