to move in with him? I'm only a junior in high school and I'm thinking about homeschooling. Are there any free homeschooling programs?

The question isn't whether or not it is legal, but whether or not you should do this.
No, you should not do this.
I moved out at 17, ended up pregnant, dropped out of school, and my ex and I haven't spoken in years.
Wait until you're finished with school, THEN discuss marriage and THEN move in together. Simple as that.

Unless you are an emancipated minor you would be breaking the law. Unless you are married it's possible that your boyfriend could go to jail. What do your parents say about this. As to the schooling question you need to check with your school district. Yes there are free homeschooling programs. If you are 17 you could also get your GED.

Ok first of all once you reach the age of 16 you are aloud to get emancipated which means you are moving out of your parents house. here is the process:
Some states do have an emancipation process for minors who are at least sixteen years old. You can contact the clerk of the family or domestic issues court in the county in which you live to obtain information concerning the matter. Please be advised, states that allow the emancipation procedure have specific requirements that must me met by the minor before emancipation is granted. A few of which will be documented proof the person is able to support themselves, meaning EARN enough income for shelter, food, clothing, medical care and so forth. The court will not accept living with friends or being financially supported by relatives/family, as sufficient proof of the minor's ability to live independently.
for more information on it go here: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_does_a_16-year-old_become_emancipated
and for the free homeschooling programs thing there is this website called: http://www.homeschool.com/
that is the number one homeschooling sight. I hope this helps you!

Kanesha, you cannot homeschool yourself. I do not believ that is allowed. Perhaps you should stay in school since you only have one more year or so. Your question about homeschooling bothers me, because it is like you want to be there all the time for him, and your education will suffer if you do that. You need to think about this move and if you know, which it seems that you may, that you will not be disciplined enough to stay in school while living wih your boyfriend, then you need to stay at home. Blessings....

dpends on the state, you have to look at your state laws to see. In the state of south carolina it is allowed at the age of 17, if you have a job, and a place to stay your parents can not stop you. My friend did this when she was 17 as well bc of a stepfather who was sexual abusing her. And her mother wouldnt believe her, so she got tired of it and left at 17 and there was nothing that could be done. Because the parents tried and the state said shes got a job and a place to stay im sorry theres nothing we can do. But i would just stick with going to school, because homeschooling yourself cant be done.

First of all its not legal. You and your bf can get in big trouble. also were are your parents that are not stopping you from doing this. you can have a job so that does not make people more or less responsible. you are going to end up pregnant and why are u asking abut the homeschooling everyone knows that you are not going to continue with school. once you drop you never go back

I moved in with my boyfriend at 17. i continued to go to school though and worked hard to graduate. and on the homeschooling thing. it depends on where you live. i live in Las Vegas and here you can do independent study and actually get done with school a lot faster if you wanted to. i would suggest going to school if it is close though because if you dont have transportation it is hard to get to the places you need to for all the tests. good luck though. dont let people discourage you. my husband is the boyfriend i moved in with at 17.

You cannot homeschool yourself. There are laws that have to be followed, and tests that have to be taken through the school district. You need to check the state laws where you live as to whether it is legal for you to move in with him.

ARE YOU AN IDIOT!!! you're going to end up dropping out of school for a full time job to pay for rent because part time jobs wont cover rent food laundry and hydro!!!! stay with your parents until ur done college or university. then u'll be making real money and can pay for everything. you're not mature enough for this. you'll be so stressed. it might seem like the best life being on your own. ur gunna miss your parents cooking for you n doing everything.
