We're 16, and well.. in "puppy love" as my parents would call it. I want him to stay with us and finish school here. His parents are totally splitting to different sides of the country.. i'm just to confused to think.

I think it's going to be too hard of an age for you to try and convince your parents to get him to live with you. Plus, what if something happens with him... then you're in the same house. Teen parents have a hard enough time trying to keep their kids away from boys... they're not gonna let him live right in the house.

I'm sorry, but I think you're the last person he should live with. If you didn't like each other it would work out better.
He needs the space to deal with the grief that his family is broken up. If he's around you he won't be able to think as well, and will be pushed into a romantic relationship. He also may feel that he can't break up with you, because he'll lose his place to live. That's sound good, in some ways, but if he Can't break up, he will be more liable to want to.,
A girl wants to feel protected, but a guy wants to be the protector--being in this spot will make him feel unmanly and unromantic.
It's a very bad spot to be in. My daughter's boyfriend was 16 when his mom died, and his dad basically abandoned them. We didn't have him live with us, although he wanted to. First he lived with an aunt, then a friend, then another friend. They weren't the best situations, but he made it through and grew as a person. When they were 18 they got married, and have been together for 2 years now. I think if he'd lived with us they'd have broken up.

I doubt you'll be able to convince your parents (speaking as a parent, there's no way I'd agree to it), but even if you do convince them, you'll have to convince HIS parents too. And then there will be the issue of child support (why should your parents pay for his food, clothing, medial expenses, school supplies, etc--that's the responsiblity of HIS parents), guardianship (because without it your parents can't do things like consent to his medical care), etc. So, it's a complicated issue. It involves much more than just him moving in.

if your in a relationship, then that is not good
i doubt you'll be able to convince ur parents,
you shouldn't bring him in; but help him out if you want...a friend of his or something...but living w/ you is no good, lots of problems can occur
