Why are my 16 year old feelings not valid yet my 19, 24 and 26 year old ones are?

I didn't say your feelings weren't "valid" at 16, but are more likely to change and more quickly.
But look at the stats of those that marry young and those that wait:
"Figures released last year from the National Center for Health Statistics
found nearly half of marriages in which the bride is 18 or younger end in
separation or divorce within 10 years. For brides 25 and older, half as many
marriages break up."
(from the Associated Press)
This means that there is twice as much chance you will divorce if you marry at 18 than if you do at 25. That's why your feelings are more "valid" the older you get.
