A boy soon to be an 18yr old man will want sex and find it somewhere. I don't think you are ready for that yet and you should not be put in a position where you will be pressured. It is more likely that you will have sex with him earlier than you would have normally with a guy your age.
Any caring parent would know this and be concerned. They may take legal action if you go against their wishes, in an effort to protect you if they feel it necessary. If you do start having sex or are thinking about it, please seek protection. Condoms used properly everytime will help protect you from pregnancy and stds. It is illegal for a minor to have sex with a legal adult, even if both parents were fine with the two of you having a relationship. Lots of risks and trouble can come from being with an older guy right now. Is it worth it? [ BitsandPieces's advice column | Ask BitsandPieces A Question ]

So as long as you two aren't, and your parents are fine with it, everything should be good. If you're worried about others getting out a restraining order, just maybe introduce him to them and let them know he's a good guy and everything.

then you are good to go. Dating isn't the problem
having sex with a minor is. I don't think I would worry to much about it. You will be fine. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
