Question: im 17 years old and i'm dating a 20 year old , my parents and I do not get along they want me out of the house, would I be able to live with him , legaly if they kick me out? Or are we even Legaly able to date at our ages?
Answer: You are legally allowed to date, you are just not allowed to have sex. You could live with him if they kick you out, but technically they have control over you until you turn 18, so I would try to wait it out until then. If you are really concerned you may want to talk to a counselor at school. Most kids your age don't get along with their parents, you are not in a rare situation, but you should at least try to get along until you are able to legally make your own decisions.

Im about to be 17 in November, and my fiance is 22. I have been through a lot of things and he has always been there for me, it doesn't matter how much of an age difference there is as long as you love each other. When I turn 18 we are getting married, and it doesn't matter what my parents think. You should do what your heart tells you to do, and if you love each other it will work out fine.

Honestly my opinion is if you want to date someone that is older so be it. Its your choice who you want to be with not your parents. my mom tells me all the time if your happy with the guy you love then im happy that your happy. so yea me and my mom get along about that whole situation.

It's your decision for love. However, I would advise finishing school, going to college, etc. Love is one of those things that make life enjoyable.
