please re think what your doing. so you love him and want to move in, moving in will hurt and upset your mom and damage the relationship you have with her. so when you brake up with this presumably older guy and have to move out with no money, where do you go?.. your mom has your best interests at heart, she wants to kno ur safe and make sure you go to school. two years isnt a long time to wait to move out, focus on school, love your mom and stop trying to grow up faster than you should

Unfortunately yes. You can only live alone before 18 with your parent's permission. I know it probably doesn't seem like it but I bet your mum is only doing this because she cares about you so try and cut her some slack and compromise. Tell her she's right (she'll like this) but maybe you could sleep there a couple of nights a week. It's not long til you're 18 so hang in there.
