Re: Moving out to live with partner
you are now old enough to live your own life and to move away from your parents if you so wish. However you should consider very carefully whether this is wise.
If living with your partner who is aged 14 means a sexual relationship, then this is not legal. The consequences for his parents in allowing you to live with him at their home could well be that they are sent to prison. You should be well aware of this. Also that if this is allowed your partner could well be put into care by social services.
My advice to you is to discuss very carefully what is intended with a social worker, your school or college, or someone you trust.
Best of luck.
