Is our relationship illegal , considering he is a minor and i am the adult ?

We live in Boston,Massachusetts. I am just curious because i have heard that other states have regulations or bans regarding relationships between minors and adults. I have been in America for only a few years. i need to know more about how things work here. Please educate me.

Informative answers will earn BEST ANSWER and 5 points.

I wanted to add that I deeply love and care for this guy. He is really mature , very passionate, intelligent, and he cares a lot about me. Even if our relationship was illegal i wouldn't leave him for anything.

If The AVARAGE IQ among the TG community is 130 [borderline genius]… yet A new survey shows that 75 percent of transgender people in the Bay Area don't have full-time employment. Equally shocking: 58 percent make less than $15,333 a year.

IF 8.3% of visible transwomen in the United States die by murder, versus 0.0055% in the general population… http://www.petitiononline.com/xgender/
Using a bit of basic math, that translates into…
You are OVER 1,500 times more likely to be murdered if you are a man in a dress.
Of the last 4 transgender homicides here in the greater Detroit/Ann Arbor MI Area:
ONE only ONE has been prosecuted... He turned himself in. The other three are not presently being actively investigated.

Then WHY do the courts believe the TG community does NOT deserve protection? http://www.365gay.com/Newscon07/09/092107bus.htm

If Hilary is elected, why would she have to raise taxes to pay for her health care system?

If she mandates that the universal healthcare system be more efficient, as she said she will do, and she withdrawals all of the troops from Iraq, as she said she would do, why then does she need to raise my taxes? She should have plenty of money in the Billions of dollars she says we are wasting in Iraq.

Further, we all know that when the federal government gets involved, the healthcare system will run flawlessly and efficiently. Right???

The democrats are trying to institute socialism in this country. They want to tax the people with higher incomes more, they want a universal health care, and they want everyone to be middle class. That is just appaling. Everyone has an equal chance to go to college and graduate schools to make something of themselves. Or just start their own business. The people that are on the bottom in our society are just plain lazy. It doesnt matter what your background is, you can become someone. The democrats believe in taxing the people who had to work hard to have an income of $250,000 or more a year, because some folks are lazy and rely on food stamps. I am now an independent and I hope you will become one too.

THE GENEVA CONVENTION STATES THAT: we can NOT fire an enemy's weapon upon the enemy...what kind of BS is that?

some governments go to war to prevent alleged threats on their countries.. this way they kill and destroy others who are innocent to save their people. then there's no evidence to prove the potential threat.
is this moral?? are voters who voted for these governments who to blame for the distruction of other nations caused by such governments??

I recently started attending school two hours away from home, and am using a friend's address to get all school-related mail, and recently, the carrier has been writing "put name on mailbox, or no more mail to this person will be delivered" and "No name on box, no mail, final notice!". My friends live in an apartment complex that has strict rules on number of occupants in an apartment, etc..., and cannot put my name on the mailbox, as it would get them into trouble. I am not living there, I just want to get all school-related mail there (My local post office has previously "lost" two letters from my school in as many weeks). And with student loan checks being sent out soon, I don’t want to risk it.

Is it legal for the carrier to REFUSE to deliver mail to this address, simply because my name isn’t on the mailbox? (USA, Ohio).

Thank you for your answer.

and anyone who opposes their views hates our country and that either you are with them or al quaeda? Who else in history of the world thought like that, and how did their actions juxtapose with GOP views?

If someone receives entry level discharge from the army, what does that mean? Is it a bad discharge? My cousin wont tell me why he was discharged, but all I know it was entry level. Will that affect his life?

I was in jail for the past two weeks. I get home to find out a week and a half ago the police came to my home with a search warrant and took my laptops, ipods and some cameras. I just bonded out of jail today. If I was getting charged with something wouldnt they have already charged me? and also, wouldn;t I have been restricted from being released from jail? Also am I allowed to go get a copy of the warrant from the police station, or will they try to arrest me?
