'This is slightly embarrassing'

As soon as the news broke netizens started sharing their views. A user wrote, "Millie Bobby Brown got engaged, and everyone's saying she's 19, but I thought she was Eleven." Another user expressed their shock at the news and wrote, "She's 19 and engaged, and I'm 18 and doing 'what celebrity am i?' quizzes when i'm supposed to be doing my assignment."

A third user wrote, "She's 19. You do you sis but I was a mess at 19. Getting married would have been at the bottom of my list at that point." Another user penned, "People and the age insecurity. They're complaining that Millie is engaged and she's 19 like she's not an adult my mum gave birth to my older sister when she was 20. She is mature, well educated, strong woman and she was working and took care of us all."

Another wrote, "She's 19 not even up to adulthood." Another netizen chimed in, "Y'all worried about the fact that she's 19 and just got engaged, and then these same people are shocked about the drinking age in the UK... Some of the comments on Instagram were saying that she can't even drink yet y'all please. This is slightly embarrassing."
