The information is correct. However there is nothing you can do until she is 16 then her parents can let you guys get married. If her parents really are comfortable then you dont have too much to worry about. Just leave the more intimate stuff, like kissing, for more private place like the car or her door step or a theater. If an adult sees you, someone like a teacher or neighbor, then charges can be pressed and being registered as a sex offender ruins a life. My suggestions in no PDA and make sure that her parents really are comfortable. Also no sex unless you are both 18 or you get her parents to let her get married.

No and I believe only sex is illegal, though I could be wrong. And no. No matter what the parents do it's illegal. There are no forms. And yes, you would be a registered sex offender if you got caught, which is an enormous deal. It could ruin your entire life. You just have to wait, sorry. Shouldn't you find someone closer to your own age?
