17M,(going to turn 18 in summer) my parents started pressuring me to get married before I turn 19.

Last months Im trying to fix my sleep schedule, trying to lose weight, dealing with my multiple health issues (both phisically and mentally) and parents told me you gonna get married in 2027....

Dad said that would be better for me to find a girl who prefers to stay at home rather than studying/working. Maybe my dad does not know but I know girls around my age are so passionate and studying in uni is not even 1% of their "Dream" lives. Honestly I don't want my future wife to be avarage "Uzbek kelinchak" (staying at home 24/7, doing home chores, having 2-3 children in 2 years and boom...... caring about yourself is not even a thing anymore)

I understand this can be great life for some people, but my plans are a bit different. Like travelling some countries(instead of spending your life savings for one wedding day), not having child until we feel it is time, building studying/working carrer together

Cherry on top I never been into relationship, don't even know how that works/how to approach girls lol.

I am graduating school and going to apply for uni(hoping I can pass) and not any income yet, all work I do is helping on my parents' business right now

Obiviously im not ready for marriage, probably need 3-4 more years.

Why am I posting this on reddit?

All relatives happy to see my wedding day(means they on my parents' side)

Friends called me st#pid for refusing to marry early, I asked the reason and this: "making love"

Around me no people understand me now, they make fun of or call st#pid when I say these things, maybe I am.....

I would love to hear your opinion about it.

If you read this far, thank you so much and I hope you have a great day💫
