What thought that come to your mind by read my tittle for this post?
Actually, I don’t want to say that it’s directly to Indonesia, but the facts said so… Yeah… There’s so many things that can effect an education in Indonesia. It can be economy, politics, and early-age marriage. That’s the things that come into my mind when I heard ‘another side of education‘ and especially in Indonesia. I don’t know why. (Sorry, but this time, I wont talking about curriculum and the things, and also I wont talk about the politics, I don’t know much about it)
Personally, when I read or heard the word ‘Early-age marriage’, Indonesia came to my mind first. Not because I’m happy, proud or other happy feelings, NO. DEFINITELY NO!!
Did you think that early-age marriage is a good thing? I don’t think so, because I think that early-age marriage is the one that makes someone’s dream gone. Why? Because… Hmm, can you imagine yourself, you must be have so many dreams or life goals to achieve right? And to achieve that, you need to attend class or school to get an education based on your life goals. But, you don’t have an enough money, or let’s say you’re in middle economy class, you can only get the education until the high school for example. You want to go to college or university but there’s no money. Maybe some people will take their self to get a jobs and saving money to get college in other time. That’s the right choice. But some people, mostly the parents, suggested their girl (mostly girl in Indonesia that had early-age marriage) to get married. And then they need to find a job after marriage. Now, not only in Indonesia, I heard that there’s a trend of young girls married with old man.

Do you think so about that? Or do you think that after marriage and have babies you will happily ever after? NO. Marriage doesn’t guarantee you a happy life. You will get your life changed so much. It’s okay if you really have prepared for it, you will happy with your marriage. But, for them who really marriage in young age? Do you think they happy? I think no, they must be depressed because they have no prepared for marriage life. Personally I think like that because I live in a village that far from the city center. And this kind of perspective is mostly on village with minim economy. God, I’m really thankful to be born in such average economy family that already think modernity. Guys, be thankful if your parents want you to take education rather than marriage. Seriously be thankful of it.
Beside that, the other reason why early-age marriage exist is there’s errors in dating. Especially in this globalization era. That’s make early-age marriage is a common reason for girls that can’t continue their study. Why girls? Don’t you know? I know you do. Mostly, because they doing such a dirty thing in their young age, yet they haven’t marriage. Such a pity fact. My mom ever tell me this, ‘If you really want to get married, then just married. But, if you want to take education, please do without having boyfriend. Know what, girl that get pregnant before marriage is a sin, our religion ban it. If a girl get pregnant before marriage, not only her who sad, but the parents will be more depressed and disappointed because of it. Like a beautiful flower that instantly wilted. They want to see their daughter proudly but getting disappointed because pregnant, you feel how the parents heart hurt.’.
I’m not saying that you can’t have boyfriend or girlfriend. You can, I don’t mind about it either. But, you still need a guide on that relationship. Especially if you’re still in young age. I suggest you, better you not having a boyfriend or girlfriend, your life path is still long, and there’s so many great adventures waiting you out there. Your life will also beautiful eventhough you have no boyfriend in your young age. Do believe that God have prepared the best for you. It’s safe anyway. You free to do what you like to do. Make your 20’s be the most beautiful moment in life. Get lost, get dizzy of your dreams, travel anywhere you want. Explore your would when you still youth. Make your youth a BLOOMING YOUTH.
Well, I don’t know what to write again. I think the tittle with the article is not that relate. But, I’m happy to write this anyway. To be honest, this was a assignment from my professor in college to make an article about education. And this is only I can do. So, I would say sorry to my professor because I write this in such an informal way. I can’t write an article, especially in blog with formal language. And sorry again, I write this in English. I just want to share this with world, so please forgive me prof.!
