First things first - you do not become a nun because you are 15 and you fight about your current boyfriend. If that was the case, then ALL women would be nuns! Honey, you are never going to meet a man you don't argue with or about, and this is not your last boyfriend. Who in the world has you believing that he is all that?
Secondly, you can't just become a nun because you want to, even if you were serious about it, which you are not. You have to be "sponsored" by a member of the clergy and/or community, and your reasoning for becoming one had better be to better serve humanity and the Catholic Church by being a bride of Christ. Otherwise, you will never get a sponsor, because taking Holy Orders isn't a joke.
Did you know that your life expectancy is 80 years old? You have 65 more years on this earth, and you are so worried about this person who is in your life for such a short time you are willing to make him the last man you "know?" Where is your mother, or even aunts, friends, or counselors? Why do you feel you have to ask questions like this on Yahoo? If I was still with any of the idiots I dated when I was 15, I'd be in jail or in the grave by now. Thank goodness time marches on and you meet new people. Get a grip, dear, there are millions and millions of men out there and many, many of them are going to be attracted to you and vice-versa. And one of them will truly be "the one," but you need to be an adult before you meet him. And sweetie, you are NOT an adult.
How about asking a "real" women's studies question and not some cry for help?

you are too young to become a nun. These days they want high school graduates and even some college. Just because you and your friend fight doesn't mean you want to be a nun. Being a nun means you never date, have boyfriends, do what you want and never get married or have children among other things. Becoming a nun requires maturity, and committment, When you are finished high school, consult with your parish priest and he will help you meet the requirements necessary.

Is that the only reason you want to be a nun? If you won't regret it, then go to a catholic church and make inquiries. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be a nun but do so for the right reasons.
Cheers

Well, first of all, make sure that's what you really want to do!
I suggest finishing school and college, then you can either go on line or consult someone at your local church and they can give you the right information.
If I had to do it all over again, i would have been a nun too!
But God chose another path for me and I'm grate-full!
Good luck!!

Contact your local archdiocese. They will explain the process.
I also found something on the Net. I'm surprised to find that many orders require a Bachelors degree before taking the vows.

ask ur local catholic church, but if i were u i'd wait a couple more years until u decide to be a nun, you might change ur mind.
