no your not legally an adult until your 18 and not only could your parents put him in jail but so can the state because he is messing with a minor.

at 17 your legally able to move out if you think you can handle it. even though police or "legal authorities" dont recommend it and like to get ignorant. You cant be sent back home. You can be tried as an adult at 17 so you can move out at 17. I moved out at 17 and the police said there is nothing that can be done. Goodluck and take care

Actually yes, once you turn 18 he is a minor and you could be charged with statutory rape, in any state.\nReverse the sexes, it applies both ways.

Stay home for two more years, get a job after school and start saving your money. When your 18 then move in with your boyfriend and have money as a plus. Remember at the age of 16 living with your boyfriend all it takes is one call to the Police and he can get in trouble for sagitory rape of a minor. So think about would you want to put your boyfriend in that situation? Good answer...Good Luck!!!!

No, it's not okay. You guys are way way way too young. I cant imagine what I would have done if I would of been pregnant at that age. I am now 21 and pregnant. Its hard enough now, but think of your financial assets. Can you afford a baby? Are you emotionally stable for a baby? Are you gonna be there to support the girl while she's pregnant? (b/c we need A LOT of support during pregnancy). Think this over, you have a lot going for you evidently, and if I were you, I wouldnt want to mess it up at 18. You got your whole life ahead of you, go have FUN and enjoy being a NON PARENT for a while at least, and enjoy your youth. It dont last too long. Good luck. And stay pregnant free!!

It depends...some states consider 16yrs of age legally an adult.\n\nyou will have to check with your states law regarding that.

No i don't think you can. Legally your parents still have control of you until you are 18. But, then again some states may allow you to move out at 16. Check out your state's government website.

Yes you can you can also get emancipated I did at age 15.  You have to show the judge you can support yourself.  Its like divorcing them.  You should go to you local court house to get the ppwk

Well, what are u doing out of state...that is the question. If u are running away so that you can "further" your relationship; it depends on what state you live in and what the legal age of consent (which varies from state to state). Here in my state, 16 is the legal age. I would think you're fine at 17. However, if you ran away from home and your parents are not aware of this...yes there could be a bit of a problem...

Age shouldn't matter between consenting adults.  My hubby and I have 18 years difference in age but we've been married 8 years.  Maturity matters, but in the eyes of the law, under 18 is a child and he can get into BIG trouble if ya'll are doing things you shouldn't be doing until after you turn 18.  After you're 18, you're able to do as you wish...

Friend - That depends on your age and state laws, but yes, its not unlikely they can legally enforce it if you are under 18.  And just a suggestion...I would go along with it no matter what the situation was cause they are the ones in control at the time and place.  GBU

Yes, at 18 you're considered to be an adult.

She can apply for emancipation. which will make her a legal adult.  But she does seem too young for you.  She probably thinks you are the way out of the hell she is in.  It sounds like the baby would be better off elsewhere, and not with you.  You like the young ones right?

I believe that in most states you can.  If there is an official child support order in place and he has not paid it, then after you turn 18 and you are a legal adult, you should be able to.  I like other people's answer about checking with your local officials.

18, you must be a legal adult. OR have forms stating you are emancipated. All underage people must go diretly to passport control.  \nNo mail in's.

I think you need to be legally "emancipated" because otherwise, your parents would still be responsible for you (and liable for any thing you do) until you're 18.  You can check with the local social services department on the process of becoming an emancipated minor.
