I'm 16 and my boyfriend is 23. We've been dating for over a year and a half. And we want kids together and soon. Can my mother press charges? Is it illegal for me to date him?

16 is one of those ages that some states consider old enough to NOT press statuatory rape charges for having sex with someone that age. Some consider it 18, the legal age for adulthood. You'd have to find out the laws for your particular state.
Personally, it may not be illegal but I feel it is wrong. A 23 year old man has nothing to offer a 16 year old. Those men are only thinking about one thing. I used to date older guys as well and thought nothing wrong with it but now.... I am older and wiser and I'd give anything to go back and do it all over again and I'd love to press statuatory rape charges but the statute of limitations has run out on this crime. Trust me, you might think its OK now but when you get older you'll see that they were only using you, preying on your youth and innocence. Nothing more.
