So she new about us, now all of a sudden she wants to call the police. What can i do.

Answer
Stephanie,

Depending upon where you live you could be doing your boyfriend a disservice by continuing to see him.  He could get arrested for statutory rape or corruption of minors or some other charge designed to protect minor children from adult influence.  Although you claim that you are not having a physical relationship with him, the thought of having one is obviously what is motivating both of you.  In short, you probably think that you love him.

Check with your local laws to see how you can become emancipated or treated as an adult, or see what can be done to obtain approval by the Court to marry.  Depending upon the specific dates of your ages, if he is four or more years older than you he is "playing with fire" and could potentially be arrested.  Get the facts and listen to your parent(s)advice.  Truth be told your mother and/or father only want to help and protect you.
