Is it legal for a 15 year old and a 17 year old to be in a relationship?

I'm asking because I just realized that in two years, I will be 17 and my boyfriend will be 15. I don't feel like going to jail for this.

Yes. You're both minors.
Technically being in a relationship in general is fine, it only gets muddy when there's sex involved. But it's only a two-year age gap, so even if you turn 18 (assuming that 16 is at or above the age of consent where you guys live and the law says it's alright) you'll be fine.

This is the law in Belgium, so I don't know about where you live: When you turn 18 and you have sex with someone who is younger than 18, it is considered as rape. Wait with sex until you both are 18 and 20. And ALWAYS make sure to have SAFE sex before it turns into a permanent parenthood!!!

It all depends on your state/countries laws so you'd have to check that individually...
