not sure if starting a family is the best way to live with your boyfriend - what if you realised you hated each other in six months, you'd be stuck with a kid. My mother got married a seemingly nice man to escape home (you could be doing that) and ended up in a very abusive relationship that took her years to get away from. Just a thought.

xTaraMareex agony auntIgnore these idiots!

My sister is 16 and decided to have a baby with her boyfriend who is 19. She moved out and was able to live with him and cared and provided for the baby. Shes 18 now and has a steady well paying job and a fund for her daughter in the bank. I live in Queensland tho.. and since i dont no where abouts you live id probably have to say that its not allowed. I think your a very strong person for trying this, and also only you know when your ready for a child. No one else. :)

good luck x

What is wrong with young people today? Depending on the state you live on, just having sex with a minor could cause your boyfriend to have a life long label as a sex offender.

Do you know what sex offenders have to endure? They are put on local, state and national registers, all the local authorities know where they live. They are on house arrest during holidays that involve children for the rest of their lives, they cannot be employed in jobs where they have contact with children.

That is just talking about your boyfriend.

What fantasy ga ga land do you live in that you think that your 18 year old boyfriend can support himself let alone take care of you and a baby?

Go to planned Parenthood and get on birth control and speak to a counselor there about the costs in dollars of raising a baby.

If you are looking to have something of your own that loves you unconditionally, adopt a dog from the shelter and save a life, not destroy one.

allow me to be blunt because this post is really quite bad, no you cannot move out regardles without concent from both your parents, you wont physically afford to live and your boyfriend can go to jail for sleeping with a minor. So not the best idea.

Auntie E agony auntOh Honey! You are so misguided! You might think that you'll be emancipated but your real problems will just be beginning if you have a baby at 16! Please private post me to my mailbox on this site. I have some very important questions for you and the reasons for your motivation in this situation that you might not want to answer for all to see. I want to help you to avoid some problems later on. Ok?
