My parent are not so happy with my decision but I have been with him for 6 months and realised he's a wonderful person and has changed me a lot(positively). I love him to bits and he love me too but he's worried about my parents and think it's not right legally to move in together simply because I'm not 18 yet. Is it legal and ok to move in with him? pls help. Reply to this Question

and do whatever you want with you life.
This way you are not messing up your future

Wow, 6 months is Not a long time to know someone before moving in.
And I have no idea how I would have got through my a-levels if I had to work / pay rent / bills / do washing / cooking.
Don't risk your future just because you want the romance of waking up together. You'll also have to let him hear you poo.
Stay at home with your parents, study hard, and stay over at his at the weekends.
Good Luck!! xx

However before you pack your bags and burn all your bridges have you considered the consequences of it all going pear shaped. so i would advise that you try at least to get your parents on side if only for your piece of mind rather than theirs, because take it from me the strain on your relationship will come when you start living together.
It is an entirely different kettle of fish to going out with them, there is cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping and all the other divisions of labour as well as payment of bills down to sharing the television internet all those other things you currently take for granted...just a thought

 In the Uk you can move out of home legally at 16. I did. Many moons ago!
