I know this is not the question you asked but this is the information you need in order to stay together. This comes under the part of your question, "is it still right.."
For right now while you two are both 15 & 17 you do not have any problems being together. A problem does come up, depending on the age of consent in your state, when you turn 18. If your boyfriend is still 15 when you turn 18 and the age of consent is 16, as it is in most states, you run the risk of dating a minor.
Some states have a escape clause of sorts in the law allowing for a 2, 3 or 4 year age gap between a minor and a young adult such as yourself. Not all states have this law. You need to find out what the age of consent is in your state, also if they have a clause to cover an age gap and what it may be.
When you turn 18 you are legally an adult. If he is still considered a minor it makes no difference that you are in a platonic relationship. Under the law you can be charged with statutory rape and other offences against a minor. I'm not saying it will happen. What I am saying is all it takes is one person, someone who has a grudge against you maybe, reporting this to the police. Once they investigate it is then their option to charge, not to charge or to turn it over to the prosecutors office for a decision.
You and your boyfriend are not a case for which this law was written. The law is on the books and as I said all it takes is one person making a police report to bring a whole lot of unwanted trouble for both of you. So investigate and then decide how best to proceed. If your love for each other is true you can be apart and reconnect when it safe for both of you to do so.

if you love each other then things will stay the same, even when you're out of high school. but sex isn't a bad thing, its been seven months and you're both in high school, why not? haha
