Yes, I can honestly say that there are teens out there who have stayed together and are happy because me and my husband are proof. I am 19 and my husband is 21. We've been married since July 2003 and have been together since December 2000. We are expecting our baby girl on January 8th. We have a better relationship now then when we first started dating. I wouldn't trade him for the world. I believe any relationship can last no matter what the age as long is there is love, honesty, and compromise. Hope this helps you.
AnswerYes, there are some success stories, but the percentages are low. Both of you can make up your mind to make your relationship stick (other people do it.) Marriage takes work, and the sooner couples realize marriage isn't always a bed of roses the better off they are. Problems come up in marriages, but it's how you deal with them that counts. My husband and I have been married for 33 years. When he gets home we sit down over tea and ask each other about our day. If there is a problem then we put our heads together and come up with a solution. We have had some huge fights in our marriage, but cooled off (we get out of each other's faces) and made-up. No marriage is perfect and if anyone tells you that they aren't telling you the truth. Marriage is a gamble when you choose a mate, but if you both have good qualities then there is no reason it can't work out.
Congratulations on your little one.
AnswerI only know one. This is very romantic, yes, but don't let it fool you. These rarely last. When my grandmother was 14, she was swimming in a lake that was rather crowded and popular. Her soon-to-be-husband, whom she hadn't met yet, was hanging out on the shore. Someone was swimming in front of her and kicked her in the face on accident, and she began to drown. The future husband, who was 16, jumped into the lake and saved her. She called him her "Knight in Shining Armor" after that, and they married very poor, and she had kids when she was VERY young. They are now over 60 and are still very much in love. But be careful, because these don't always last. You need to be sure you can make it on your own with a child.
AnswerI'm 17 and my boyfriends 18 we planning on having a baby soon and getting married because my parents dont let us be together just because they don't like him for me but they don't understand that i love him we bout to have 2 years of being together well yeah we are crazy in love we meet wen i was 14 he was 16 it was on Christmas day n it was the best day of my life and since then we have been battling with my parents...but i assure you that no matter what they have done we still together and i know this baby I'm going to have will make them understand how much we love each other and once we get married I'm leaving my house and we gonna go leave together and i know that we are gonna be happy together with our baby and we gonna die old together and deeply in love.. i hope all of you have a beautiful love story like i do. Wish me luck on my baby..
AnswerYes, there is but in those stories will be things about how hard they had to work and about the responsible sacrifices they made to stay happy and raise a happy, healthy child or family. Let me point out that 21 is not a teen and 18 is the start of maturity. Congratulations on your baby boy and good luck with the relationship. I just would like to say that a committed relationship to one another and to that of family is something that needs a lot a the right attention. The 3 c's have helped guide a lot of people to successful relationships. Consideration, for all they you do and your feelings, Caring about every part of your lives at all times and Compassion, for the ups and downs that WILL happen. You don't have to stress out about anything it always works out, but there is no book on how to be a good partner or a great parent that comes with time and from the heart. So hold your little boy with love everyday, show him the right way to be and give each other the love and respect that two people who truly love one another should do. Good luck........
AnswerNo. Nobody is an adult until age 30 because human brain doesn't grow up until age 25 and body stops growth at age of 30. Remember and remind what I write here everybody and specially young kids under age 25 or 30.
AnswerAnd also if kids under age 25 is pregnant, they are kids through their lives.
AnswerSorry, I disagree with whether a person is labeled mature only at the age of 30. I have known children with more insight than many adults I have met. There is something wise about them and they often act different than other younger children their age and I describe them as "old souls" for the sake of a better term. I saw on the news a few weeks past where a house fire devoured 4 children ranging from 8 to teens and the oldest boy was supporting his siblings and doing a great job of it! He worked, fed them, did housework and the siblings helped too. So, I feel it's unfair to state when a person is mature because it solely depends on what life has put upon them to make them grow up fast or not. Not everyone is as privileged at just being a kid without too many problems. Some people never mature and it's quite evident by what we can read on this board about people's problems. From where I'm sitting in many cases our pets are wiser than most humans!
ANSWER
Oh sure, there are instances where people in your situation have married and stayed together to the end. But with the divorce rate at about 50% and the rate even higher for those with kids, I would have to say it's not bloody likely. A kid like the teenager mentioned above can be mature enough to work and take care of his siblings but I would find it interesting to see where he would have gone in the future. I kind of doubt he would run out and have babies with some young girl because he is mature enough to think about the child. That is the difference. A person is mature enough to have kids if they want what is best for a kid, putting the child's needs before their own. A child needs two loving, thoroughly committed parents who are able to support the child.

Can axolotol fish live in the same tank as other fish?
Oh, dude, it's "axolotl," not "axolotol fish." And no, they shouldn't live with other fish because they might mistake them for a snack. Axolotls are like that one friend who always eats your leftovers without asking - not great tank mates. So, keep them solo or with their own kind for a drama-free aquatic life.
How many times a day do you feed a betta fish betta food?
once every day or 2, and just a small pinch
Siamese fighting fish? The pet store where you bought your betta will have food as well, probably freeze-dried blood worms. Feed your Siamese fighting fish two or three times a day, only what he will eat in a few minutes. Overfeeding will make the water cloud faster, and your betta will be more likely to get ill.
Oh btw, you should keep them in separate fish bowls. They're called "fighting fish" for a reason. They are highly territorial animals and will react violently if two are placed in the same container. You can see the preliminary phase of their fighting, the threat display, if you put a mirror up against the bowl. Notice the raised gill covers, which makes the betta look bigger. IF THEY FIGHT THEY FIGHT TO THE DEATH SO BE VERY CAREFUL U CAN LET THEM FIGHT IF U STAND THERE WITH A NET AND BREAK T UP AFTER A LITTLE WHILSE AND PUT EM IN THERE OWN SEPERATE BOWLS OR GET A DOUBLE TANK
Is it posable for a betta to swim to the bottom of a tank and stay there?
Oh, dude, anything is possible in the fish world. Like, bettas are known to be pretty chill fish, so if one decides it wants to hang out at the bottom of the tank for a bit, who are we to stop it? As long as it's not doing the fish equivalent of binge-watching Netflix down there, I'd say let it do its thing.

Neon Tetras come from the Tropical Amazon River and evolved in some of the freshest, cleanest, purest water in the world.

Do Betta fish eat feeder fish?
Betta's can be a very aggresive fish, especially the males. They may go after smaller slower moving fish that stray into their territory of the tank. If they stress out the fish enough that they kill it they will nibble on it, however Bettas are not a large carnivores and shouldn't be fed feeder fish. In fact, scince most feeders are goldfish (of a sort) the feeder may stress out the betta to the point that it will kill the betta. It is best just to feed a betta high protein flakes. Most pet stores that sell bettas also have food formulated for bettas scince it is such a popular species.
Can you use real seashells in a betta bowl?
Yes. First boil the shells in a pot on the stove. The heat gets rid of any bacteria or germs. You can aso put them in the rinse cycle in a dish washer, without any other dishes.

After washing them in the pot or dishwasher, allow them to dry over night. Then place them in your fish bowl.

Dangers in entering a chemical tank for maintenance operation?
The biggest hazard is inadequate oxygen to support life in a confined space. Suffocation due to insufficient oxygen is a frequent cause of industrial fatalities. A secondary hazard is the danger from the chemical which was stored in the tank which can be ingested or absorbed into the body and cause harm.
