I live in canada
And want to move out.
But I keep hearing you have to be 18.
I am under 18.
And really wish to live with my boyfriend.
So does ANYONE know how old you have to be to move out of your parents house
With out their permmision??

First, you are waaayyy to young to be having sex with a boy friend. Second if you are having sex without marriage you are simply asking for trouble. What will happen if you become pregnant? Will he dump you for some other girl who will put out for him? Think this through Please! Stay home, work out the issues you have with your parents before your life is ruined for ever.

Age of majority is indeed 18.

In another thread on 10/22/07 you posted:

im 18

So did you lie there? How old are you really and how old is your boyfriend?

[Pink594]

Yeah I could have lied on thing only because I don't want people to know who I am
But I don't recall saying that I'm 18
I am 16 and he is 19
We have been together for almost 2 years
And no he wouldn't leave me if I got pregnant together
And the day I find someone is still waiting for marriage and is in a long term relationship
Is like very low

If he is 19 he could be in trouble if you try to move in with him. He could be in trouble if you have had sexual relations.

Well, it's hard for me to give you advice when I don't know the whole truth. I would guess that more than one 16 year old is dating a 19 year old in Canada so that probably wouldn't have led me to your door.

On the other hand, if you are too young to spell pregnant you are probably too young to be pregnant; have you read some of what other people have posted about boyfriends who walk out - ? Hopefully yours will not but is that the life you would want for your child? Heck, husbands walk out! And so do wives!

I don't know you; I don't know your boyfriend; I don' t know your situation - but getting pregnant is not the worse thing that can happen when sex is casual and unprotected. People are dying out there.

If you were 14 when the sexual relationship began I would wonder if your boyfriend could be charged with statutory rape. (I just tried to look at the chart but it wouldn't load for me.)

No one is saying wait for marriage - I agree with you; it's unfortunate and almost sad but that is not the way most of the World works today. However, bringing a child into this world at your age is just not fair to that child.

Will you listen to a stranger - probably not. Quite frankly, I wouldn't have either. But hopefully you will now have something to think about.

I hope it works out for you but keep in mind that people sometimes don't stay and you end up having to take care of yourself. I trust you are making some plans for your future beyond moving in with your boyfriend.

Well at 16 your history of questions here paints a scary picture: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/search...archid=2058951

Do you not have any parents around?

I take back my earlier advice. I should have read the past postings. This is entirely out of MY league!

Don't worry Judy. Experience has taught me to sniff certain "suspect" posts on discussion boards. :)
