Thanks for advice
Thanks for your advice - it really makes sense. I have, in fact, already asked my sister how she plans to pay for a house and pay the bills if she marries this guy - she says she will get a job. So i told her she would have to quit school to support herself - she says wont have to because HE will support her. He got fired again yesterday. I tried a different approach: she wants to be a singer (like ALL 16 year old girls) so i told her she could kiss that dream goodbye if she is going to drop everything to marry this guy - she says she will still be able to do it. The girl is in fairy-land and she really feels she has reached the peak of maturity. Does it honestly sound like this is the case?! Any idea how to get someone to snap out of denial!?

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
It sounds like she still has a lot of growing up to do, which I am sure you already know. what she needs is a good hard slap of reality. How to do that I am not quite sure because of her age, she is too young to be on her own.
My sister moved out of the house the day she turned 18 and moved in with her girlfriends mothers trailer. She hated it there so they moved across the trailer park to live with her girlfriends father. (I know it sounds like something you would see on Jerry Springer LOL) Well needless to say she ended up breaking up with this girl because she was so misarable and moved back home. She didn't realize how much work it took to live on her own, and she had a free place to stay! I think she is a little more mature because of her mistake.
I think you sister needs something to go wrong for her before things can be put right. Even if she ends up with this guy, I don't think it will ever last because it will never live up to her dreams. For now just keep reminding her of the realities of life. Best of Luck!
