Hi there,
Getting the money will be a matter of personal risk for you no matter where it comes from. I am going to ask you to consider a few things before you risk your personal relationship with anyone you ask to help you.
Think about what he is in jail for. Must be something more than jay-walking tickets he didn't pay, since he is still in after a month.
If he is in there for drugs... Well, have you considered that this might be a good chance for him to try drying out and getting into AA/NA?
If it is drug related, the odds are you will have a future full of trying to bail him out. :-( I am sorry to say it, but the odds of him learning the first time are small where drugs are involved and someone rescues them. This teaches them they can get away with it and not be punished.
If it is something beside drug/alcohol related:
How much time does he face once he is sentenced? If it is as much time as he will have served by the time you are able to bail him out, then there is little point, because they will be putting him right back in.
I know you want to help him. Ask yourself, and more importantly ask his lawyer, if it is in HIS best interested to be bailed out. Sometimes the answer is no.
As for a credit card: Must usually be 18, and have some way to pay it back.
The loan idea: You wouldn't lend money to someone with no job and no way to pay you back, so is it reasonable to expect someone else to do so?
Now that I have asked you to think about what is actually best for him, and you, here are some thoughts:
Family is usually the best place to go when you are in trouble. You may have family beyond your parents that would be willing to help if they feel the boy was put in jail for an unjust reason. If not, they may be unwilling to help.
Have you talked to HIS family? To see if they are interested in bailing him out? If they don't want him bailed out, you should ask why, and pay very careful attention to their answer.
If they are willing, but unable, to bail him out, then perhaps you can work together, both of your families, to get him out.
If you aren't ashamed of the situation, and he is in for something non-drug related, you can gather his friends together and see what they can do to help.
Remember: $600 is only 30 twenty dollar bills. If you can get some from each of his friends and family, you would be surprised how soon you could raise the funds.
Heck, print "Free (his name!)" on a big sign and hold a car wash. This only works if his friends or family will help, and you aren't ashamed of what he is in for... because people will ask while you are washing their cars.
The job idea: You are 17, almost 18, and your parents are having a hard time with money... So it seems like even if your boyfriend wasn't in jail, it might be a good idea to get a job.
Depending on the starting pay where you are, you could have him bailed out in under a month.
If you need anything else, please ask.
DN.

Try getting a job and getting payday advances.

well, i would NOT open a credit card, because if you have a late payment, then that goes on your credit score forever and that make life jus miserable in the future, but if you HAVE to get your bf out of jail, why dont you try to get a job and ask if you can get paid in advance and not ask for payments for awhile and promise youll make it up double time
