My boyfriend will be 18 while I'm still 15?

Question

So, I'm 15 right now and my boyfriend is 17. He will be turning 18 a few months before I am 16, which makes our relationship illegal, right? I really need some clarification and/or advice on this.

Answer 1

It doesn't make your relationship illegal, but if you two have sex it will be (statutory rape in some states). Just be careful, and don't have sex, and if you do, use a glove. If he goes off to college before you keep in mind that he may meet a girl and dump you to avoid high school drama. Most college advice books tell college students to break up with guys or girls who are still in high school. Talk to your parents about this.

Answer 2

Yes my dear.....it is very illegal!!!! It's mainly if ur having sex because of the law. I doesnt make ur feelings for each other illegal. I have been through this with my boy cuz and a girl cuz. He was dating a chic that was 15 and he turned 18...couple months later her got locked up and now he is in prison. Has been for 3 years. The girls parents knew and was ok about it....but when this happened it went to court because someone called the cops about it. The girls parents got in trouble for allowing it and he got placed in prison for it. They got into trouble cause it is a major offence. The parents didnt do anything about it and didnt stop it so the state took it over. My girl cuz was 14 dating a 19 year old and we found out that he was very bad to her.....thank god he is in prison too!!!!! Think long and hard about your decision honey......think about ur parents!

Answer 3

Your relationship will not be illegal, the only way it will be illegal is if you have sex with him when he turns 18, and he could go to prison and become a sex offender for life. so don't let anyone catch you guys having sex. But no, it is not illegal for you guys to have a relationship. If youre parents find out about you guys having sex and they dont like it, they could press charges for stagetory rape, even if you are willing.

Answer 4

Talk to your parents. Your relationship isn't illegal, just weird. He will probably find another girl in college. In the book The Naked Roommate and other College Situations it recommends that college freshmen break up with their bfs or gfs that are still in high school or that are going to other colleges. My boyfriend waited for me, but not every guy is like that. I'm glad you guys aren't having sex. Fifteen is too young for that kind of nonsense.

Answer 5

If you don't live in Indiana, then, yes, it is illegal for an 18 yr old to date a 15 yr old. In some states, girls reach the age of consent for sex at 16, so it would then be OK if you're in one of those states to date an 18 yr old. check your local laws.

Answer 6

You're perfectly fine as long as you all don't engage in sexual activity of any kind. Sex at your age, while he's 18 is illegal. That will be statutory rape. Even if you consent to it...your parents can still get him for it and he can be put in jail. So, play it safe with your relationship. Holding hands and kissing...that's it.

Answer 7

Well not really when I was 15 my bf was 17 as well as long as its a casual relationship nothing forceful you guys should be OK. Just make sure if you're sexually active that you protect yourself that way you wouldn't get yourself into any trouble.

Answer 8

I know a lot of couples like you and there is no problem. That's normal. I think it's not illegal. It would be illegal if you have sex. That's all I know.

Answer 9

technically not illegal. there needs to be a 4 year difference for it to be illegal if one of you is under 18.

still kinda weird though.

Answer 10

It makes it illegal to have sex
