Price Tag
It seems to be a common social problem. At least in this area, it is. When those girls reach a certain age, their parents, especially their mum will be anxious if their children are still single. Being an old maid is kinda like a disgrace. Honestly speaking, I don’t think so. Whether they date with others or not, it’s those girls’ own life. Why their parents go to interfere in that matter? Just because they experienced more than us? Sometimes some people choose to get married just because their parents harass them or it’s the right age to do so. They don’t mind whether they love their spouse or not. How long can those marriage last? I doubt that. Isn’t that kind of life so meaningless?
Just as a lyric said it seems like everybody got a price tag. Even in the process of finding a bf or gf, you need to choose one that you can afford to buy. I hate that! :/ I’m not interested in or good at dating. I’m an idiot when dealing with that kind of stuff. Why I have to grow up and face those problems? Gosh! Why can’t I just enjoy myself in my little word?

Sometimes some people choose to get married just because their parents harass them or it’s the right age to do so. They don’t mind care whether they love their spouse or not. How long can those marriages last? I doubt that. Not very long, I think. Isn’t that kind of life so meaningless?

[Very good English. There are some phrases which would be expressed differently, but as a whole, well done.]

Nice entry Haru. Maybe younger generations find it difficult to understand elder's way of thinking. They lived different times than those of now. Whilst it should be a "normal" life to get married, have kids, get old and die, being out of the "common" pattern should not be considered wrong, only different. Where do we find in the dictionary that different is synonym of wrong. Besides, getting married is no kid's play, it doesn't solve anything, it rather brings a whole bunch of problems when it's not done out of full conviction and own will.

@Ocean: What you said is so true, Ocean. That's kinda like a social bias. There's nothing wrong with single ladies. Just follow your heart. That's enough. :)

Is it wrong to be single? why do many people think that single women are loser???maybe some girls are not interested in marrying. marriage is just a part of life, not the whole life itself. single girls and women are satisfied with their own life because they have chosen to be alone. but it doesn't mean that they don't want to be happy, take part in many activities, enjoy their life, etc.is marriage an essential criterion to determine women' value? women have equal rights as men. if a man were single everyone would say,'OK that's fine he is man." but if a girl were single then another story would begin.many families push their daughters to marry. and what's the reason for that? they want to get rid of their daughters because they don't want to have any constant pressure about their them or support them anymore! but if such families were really worried about their daughters they would never make them marry someone they don't love.marry should be based on love and understanding, not based on people's gossip.most people want their daughters marry to shut people's mouth! I have encountered many examples from my friends or those who I know. I really get disappointed when I see it is a world wide problem.
