If your parents don't know and don't give their concent then it is not legal. If they call the police, your 20 year old firend would get in big trouble for harbering a runaway.

but....

my parents will know and are ok with it. but it wont matter if its a guy that im living with that my parents know and all??

I'm just a little concerned though, your english isn't too good, so I'm guessing you recently moved here to the states.
How long have you known this guy?
Can he be trusted?
What is your relationship with him?
Why are your parents okay with it?
How long before your 17?

I just want to be making sure that this guy wont be talking advantage of you. I'm just afraid that once he done with you, that he may throw you on the street.

First of all, you can't just move to the US whenever you feel like it. You need a visa for that, which will take months and months. And to get that visa you will need to be interviewed and your fiance has to show proof that he earns above a certain level of income to support you. There might also be age limits to get a visa, ie you might need to be 18 to even be eligible to apply. You have a lot of researching to do before even considering packing your bags.

i already have a visa, this is not my first or my tenth time in U.S, i have been there alot, and i will just be "living" there for some months. he is not my fiancee he is just my boyfriend. all i want to know is if it is legal to have a boyfriend that is over 18 and me being under 18 because i heard that is was not and that you could get arrested.

Exactly what visa DO you have? A multiple entry tourist visa will not allow you to move to the US, have work authorisation, get SSN, drivers license etc etc etc.
