Romany is right... a child completely changes your life. There's so much responsibility and you just aren't old enough. All in good time, though, you will be ready when the time comes.

Legal implications only come into play here if there is any sexual shenanigans going on.

Now, I live in a much more laid back and liberal society, where we are free to fuck our hearts out from the second we turn 16. However, its still not something you should be taking lightly.

However, it all depends on the age of consent laws in your state and what lawfully it considers to be sex.

Either way, you are still far, far too young. I'm fine with 16 and above as that is how my society goes, but below that is just nasty. Even if he is still essentially just a teenager himself.

Gabrielle Stoker agony auntYou're only young once.

You can have kids later.

Yes, your boyfriend will almost certainly be charged with statutory.

romany agony auntHiya Natalie, I dont know about the laws of your state,but I know about feeling the way you do, all i wanted when I was your age was to be a mummy, and fortunately for me, it didn't happen for me till i got to 17, and my daughter was born when I was 18, followed by my son at 19.

I got to say, I understand, and I dont regret a minute, however.....I wish I'd waited, its tough, because no matter how grown up I thought I was, I wish I had more time to enjoy being young.

Please, think about having some more time for you and your boyfriend, because when kiddies come along, theres no Natalie time, and especcially not Natalie and boyfriend time, Altho you'll feel fabulous being a mum, as its amazing, but you really will miss being you, not regret it, but miss it, so please thing about it a bit more, have a holiday with your fella, go out and have fun, and just be you for a year or more.

Good luck whatever you decide, but think about you, you have all the time in the world. x

Look at the statutory rape laws in your state! It does NOT matter if you or your parents approve because you are 15 (under age) and he is 18 (an adult). Even though you will have the child at 16, you CONCEIVED (had sex) with an adult at 15 years old.

Be careful! You don't want your baby daddy in jail... In addition, why would you want to have a child this young???

WhateverMovesThee agony auntYou guys having a kid is a pretty crazy...why would you want that right now? Neither of you have firm careers and you haven't even graduated high school yet. It's ok to desire it but, please don't go for it. My friend is 17 and in a hell hole right now because she has a son with her boyfriend they can't really support, and he was so stressed by the relationship and their son, he broke up with her. I'm not saying that will happen to you, but i am saying that things get bad fast when people hurry into having kids. On the other matter, if your parents approve, your boyfriend won't be prosecuted at all. There's also something called the two-year rule where if your bf is eighteen and you are sixteen, because you're at the age of consent, charges cannot be pressed on your bf.
