18 and moving out with my boyfriend
ok so i will be turning 18 in a month and my boyfriend will to. and we would really like to move out with each other to get out of the house. but the only thing is we are both in high school. and do schools still accept you if you live on your own? and does anyone know what the deal is with colleges and what there policy is for a non-married couple living together?

i would say dont do it. they will accept you and stuff but the divorce rate is over 75% higher if couples move in together before they are married and even higher if you having sex. wait.. its for your future. i know that you dont think it will happen to you because it very well can and its better to be safe than sorry. wait till after college till you are ready for marriage and families you too young you have all of your life

i dont care if you rate me low. you are making a mistake because:
-by moving in with your boyfriend, you will have SO many responsibilities: bills, insurance, transportation, school..
-your moving in with your boyfriend. HELLO! how naive can you get?? so what if you "love this guy with all your heart", get married first for goodness sake. and explore! how do you know if hes perfect when you havent met enough good guys out there?? besides, marriage and moving in can always wait, since your "passionate love" is so pure..yeah right
-your parents probably wont be there to lend you a hand. YOU are choosing to leave them because you feel you are mature enough. part of being mature is living with your mistakes and not leaning on mom and dad. are you really ready for something that will COMPLETELY CHANGE YOUR LIFE all because the hottest football player at your school asked you out?? please..
well yeah. i think you know what i mean now hehe. -.-

Schools will accept you.some colleges will allow you to live to gether some will not. You'll have to some research on it. Think long and hard about moving in with someone. If it doesn't work out will you be able to go back home or will you get a job and stay where you are. Hope I helped.

Yes, public high schools will accept you as long as you're a resident of the area. Some will also require that you be a US citizen.
As for colleges, it depends on the college. Most will probably allow you to live together. Some won't - Bob Jones University leaps to mind.
Good luck!

Just curious...how are you going to make enough money to pay rent and bills and continue with school?
I suppose high schools differ in their policies. There is no rules against it here. They just make you the one responsible for expenses instead of your parents.
As for college, I don't think they really care. You probably couldn't live in a dorm room or anything, but living off campus isn't a problem. :)
