It depends on the state you live in

You can't even sign a rental contract at 17. Wait until you have graduated high school and have turned 18 and have s steady job.
Keep this in mind, though: your brain will keep developing until you are about 25. That means that the way you view everything, what you want out of life and your general sensibility is going to be rather different from where it is now. That will impact your relationships bigtime. Your boyfriend and you will be completely different people by 25.
Furthermore, everyone needs to have that exploratory part of their life. When they haven't had it they always regret and sometimes mightily. You are definitely too young to be tied down. Go to college, date different kinds of men (or women if that is your thing), live overseas for a while and then when you get into your late 20's/early 30's then you can think about settling down.

wait until you're 18. Then you can do whatever you want and your parents wont have a say in it, because technically you'll be an adult then.

Short answer, no, medium answer, not really, long answer, unless you want you and your boyfriend to end up in a lot of trouble, I would suggest not doing this. All it would take is one call from your parents and the legal problems would build up.

I'll tell you in advance your not going to like my answer.
Until your 18 you are still considered a minor. If you move out of your parents house without their permission you can be considered a runaway.
If your boyfriend is more than 3 or 4 years older than you, depending on the laws in your state he can be charged with several crimes.
The first one's that come to mind would be statutory rape, kidnapping and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The statutory rape charge would depend on the age of consent in your state which could differ from the age of when you are considered an adult which is generally 18.
Those are the facts as I know them to be and are in effect in the state I live in. I'm fairly certain they would be the same for most every state in the U. S. or very similar.
