Revised Annotation 1

In the clip, we can see the 15-year-old Kaitlin and 18-year-old Ryan want to get married spontaneously. They don’t have a baby or be forced to do that, they just think they meet their Mr. and Mrs. Right and are mature enough to make the decision. However, I doubt if they are really mature. We can see their innocence or maybe to say childishness while talking to the anchorwoman. Many words sound ridiculous. It seems that they don’t know the seriousness of taking fertility drugs, and have no any opinion of money. All they know is: Oh, I love you so much that how can I live without you.
However, life is not as easy as we see. When one is young, he/she always takes things too simple and perfect, not even mention when it comes to love. Teenagers who tend to be impulsive and arrogant are often overwhelmed by love. They are reluctant to hear others’ advice and make many decisions without thinking twice. As they age and their strong love fade, reality’s true colors take place. Every single trivia that never is a thing when they were deep in love may be a trouble to them now. They may suffer a lot from problems in all directions like financial affairs, deterioration of feelings to their companions, and if they have babies, education would be a big deal, too.
If teen couples decide to complete a home with total consideration and they are sure they have the ability to face all consequences after marriage by themselves, of course it is okay to marry at such young age. Because girls always have a fantasy of falling in love with her prince charming and live happily ever after. However, I still think the majority of young husbands and wives are not qualified enough.

  1. You do put on the reference of the youtube website. But it seems that there is less paraphrasing and summarizing in your article. Maybe it is because your subject isn’t related to professional knowledge such as law. So there might be less chances for you to quote or do something like this. But I think you can make a brief and more concreted summarization of the reference you found. Or you can quote some of the dialogues in the video that will make your article more convincing to readers.

  2. Teenagers are usually thought to be impulsive and lack of consideration. In this case, the girl wholeheartedly wants to get married with the boy she believes that is her true love. And when we see the facial expression of the anchorwoman and the audience do not really agree with this girl's thought. I think you can talk more deeply about the teenage marriage and provide some cases of successful teenage marriage and unsuccessful teenage marriage. And also, the public's perspective of teenage marriage in your own society.
