It's illegal because he is a legal adult while you're still a minor.
Even if you have sex with your consent, your parents would still be able to press charges with the chance of him being arrested.
He probably doesn't want to go through any trouble related to that.
Sorry, but unless you convince him and hide it you guys will have to wait until you're 18.

Yes there are many laws agianst sexual activity for those who are below the Age of Consent. That is the age at which the goverment says you are old enough to willing choose to have sex.

The law varies from state to state, so without knowing percisely where you live I can't give you excact details about how the Age of Consent will effect you and your boyfriend. However, in many states, he might get in some trouble for having sex with you before you turn 16.

Waiting until you have turned sixteen would probably make anything you two choose to do legal, but you really need to know your state laws to be sure.

Well it depends on the sate you live in sweetie.
And its a 4 yr. diffrence. Some states its 16 in which thats the legal age you can have consented sex and the guy has to be 4 yrs. prior to your age. Look over these sites, for which state you fit in.

The laws vary some from state to state.

The law is that an adult can not have sex with a minor. But the difference lies in what age they consider someone to be an adult, and what they consider to be a minor. Some states consider 17 to be an adult but 18 is the LEGAL age of an adult. So you are DEFINITELY an adult by then.

So yes, there could be a problem. Now, as to figuring out what the law is about adults having sex with a minor in your state, and what age they consider to be a minor- you will have to check that out. I can't do it for you, especially since I don't even know what state you live in. =)

Some states have recently changed some of the laws because a 17 yr old was sentenced to jail for having sex with a minor. It was consentual and people did not agree with him having to go to jail for this, so it was changed.

But I don't think that applies in your case.

So your only 2 choices would be to wait until you are the legal adult age in your state, or to go ahead and do it- but you'd have to be very careful because if something happened- like your parents found out and were p'd off- they could report it and he'd be indicted for statutory rape. (That's what they call an adult having sex with a minor). So you need to consider this seriously, because I know you love your boyfriend and wouldn't want to run the risk of him having 'rape' on his record.

This probably isn't the answer that you wanted to hear, but better to know all the facts beforehand right?

Now that you know the above, you can check out the law for your state regarding the age of a minor. (When a minor becomes an adult with regards to this, is it 16? 17? 18?)

One more thing- you sound like a very bright young woman, so I'm sure I don't have to tell you this- but please, if you do decide to go ahead, make sure that a condom is used every, single time. Sometimes people get caught up in the moment. I would hate, though, for you to have much bigger problems to worry about.

Hope this helps =)
