What is the name of your state? Colorado
I noticed that all these parents are on here are talking from only anger and disgust, when no one really looks at the other side of the story.
Doesn’t anyone on here have any sympathy for being young and in love? And just wanting someone to listen and understand instead of running their loud nagging mouths before anyone gets to finish. That’s the problem with over 75% of the homes in America.... PARENTS DO NOT LISTEN. You rather get your point across and have the conversation over than to listen to your daughters feelings. Women are emotional. They have more feelings inside, along with thoughts that race a mile a minute. And every time you put your foot down and say that’s the end of it, it’s like a jack knife right through our hearts. If anyone is still reading this, let me speak from experience. I am a mature 15 year old that comes from a good home, and defiantly knows what she wants in life. I am a 4.0 honor student. I am so responsible I balance my mother and fathers check book and help them pay their bills on time. So why is it, someone like me, someone that is still legally a minor, but who acts like an adult, and is treated like one, there feelings and respect is just taken away within a snap of a finger. It’s like your controlling side comes out and you feel like you must do something about nothing, or you are not a good person. When all it takes is to listen to the situation and really honestly think about the situation and maybe even give it a good try before saying the crude hurtful thoughtless word… no.
Like I said, I am 15, but my boyfriend is 19. I won’t be 16 until April. And he is turning 20 on Christmas. He looks like he is 16, and sometimes he even acts like it. I have herd so much regarding my situation I don’t know what is true or not. The only person that knows my situation is my sister, who I live with 5 out of 7 days a week. And she says that he is perfect for me and she is scared he is going to become my best friend instead of her. She completely approves of this, but the parents do not know. One thing I have herd is, four years. From 13-15 it can be a four year difference. Then once the age of 16 comes, it can be a ten year difference. Is this true? I want things to be completely legal and I want to come clean with my self to my boyfriend about my age. 15 not 18.
If I have gained any respect from anyone, please help me with your advice. I am so scared I am going to loose the first person I have ever cared about and whom I am my self around. If anyone could send me a link regarding the law that pertains to me for verbatim, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Sincerely Jenny1518

In all honesty? You sounded completely mature and with it. Until it became clear that your relationship with this guy is based on a lie. That's neither mature nor responsible.

In Colorado:

Age of Sexual Consent: 15
Statutory Rape Law: Cannot have sex with anyone under 15 years old and four years younger or anyone 15-17 years old if you are 10 years older. (ex: A 26 year old can be arrested for having sex with a 16 year old)

Thank you for your input. I completely agree with you. It is not only immature but it is also disrespectful. I am completely in the wrong, and I know I am. I have dropped hints, and made jokes about it, and I truly feel like he knows deep down. My sister says that the stars in his eyes aren’t just going to disappear, and that he truly is into me. I never thought things would get so serious. I never thought I would meet someone like him, and have such strong feelings. So since there is about a three and half year difference between us, is it legal? I guess I just want someone to say yea or nay, because I have the type of parents I described in my previous letter.

I reserved comment until now Jenny but when you lie to yourself AND this forum, then you're helping noone, even yourself. And if you're not lying, you're pretty poor at simple math.

If you are presently 15 and he will turn 20 on Christmas, that is MORE THAN a 4-year difference. So yes, he could be charged with statutory rape.

And guess what? Since your sister knew all about it and did or said nothing to mitigate the situation, SHE TOO could be held as an accessory before the fact.

It's time to put what little sense you have shown here to work until you turn 16. Either that, or take the chance of cause the two people you seem to care about going to jail.

If charges are going to be pressed, then wouldnt you think that the people who have custody would be the ones who would press them? Therefore, if my parents do not have custody of me, can they still press charges?

DAMNIT JENNY, your parents don't press charges, your sister doesn't press charges. THE STATE will press the charges.

Quit looking for excuses. Or are you so horny that it doesn't matter if your boyfriend ends up doing time in prison?

Sisters and best friends have a tendency to tell you exactly what you WANT to hear! It doesn't make it right or legal.
Would you even feel differently about this guy if your sister hadn't said, she saw "stars in his eyes"(c'mon!!!!)?
