She knows of other boys I've talked to and usually is a cool mom BUT now that me and this boy are getting serious, he wants to meet her to make our relationship official.. mom doesn't want to. She says she's heard too many bad rumours about him. I'll admit he has a past but I see good intentions in him. My mom said she's not going to accept him until I'm 17! I'm thinking my age is an excuse for her.. but she says if I choose to be with him now I can pack my things and leave with him.. He doesn't mind but I'm not sure what to do.. help please.

 you need to sit her down and talk to her. Its ridiculous how immature she's being if she's trying to throw your entire relationship away based on bad rumors she's heard. Especially if she's not even willing to meet this guy.
Tell her that he wants to meet her, and she's being a bad parent if she won't at least give in to a meeting. She can bring her opinions to the table once she has something to have an opinion about.
These aren't good ideas, but they might work
1. Literally pack your bags and see how she reacts. You should be worth more than her opinion, and I'm sure she's just trying to test you.
2. Wait it out, don't talk about him, or (I don't approve of this) Lie and say you stopped dating him.
