Most likely not because you are so close in age. However, you will need to find out what the statutory rape laws are for the specific state you live in.

You've asked this four times. If you don't care to read your other answers, don't ask questions. The more questions you ask for the same thing does not mean more answers.

As you have been told in the several similar questions you already asked....it depends on the state you live in. Now that you have placed this question under "California", I will answer for California. Statutory Rape Author: Darren Kavinoky Statutory Rape laws are based on the premise that until a person reaches a certain age, that individual is legally incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse. Thus, it is a crime for an adult to have sexual intercourse with a person under the legal age of consent, which is 18 years of age. California's statutory rape law is found in Penal Code Section 261.5. California has begun a concerted effort to use its statutory rape laws as a means of reducing pregnancies and births among minors. The attempt was prompted by recent research indicating that two-thirds of babies born to school-aged mothers in the state were fathered by adult men, who, on average, were more than four years older than their adolescent partners. The severity of the punishment depends on the relative ages of the two people, either of whom may be male or female. It is a misdemeanor for a person who is at least 18 years old to have sexual intercourse with a minor who is three years younger than that person. If the victim is more than three years younger than the perpetrator, the crime can be either a misdemeanor or a felony. If the victim is under the age of 16 and the perpetrator is 21 years of age or older, and they engage in sexual intercourse, the crime can be either a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in county jail or imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 3, or 4 years. In addition to criminal penalties, there may be civil penalties as well. The district attorney may bring actions to recover civil penalties. An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor less than two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty up to $2,000. An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor at least two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty up to $5,000. An adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor at least three years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty up to $10,000. An adult over the age of 21 years who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor under 16 years of age is liable for a civil penalty up to $25,000. http://www.sexlaws.org/statrape.html But I am glad to see that you are using the right word now.

Apparently, in this case, it is! You have asked the same question without understanding any of the answers! If you are not adept at understanding simply given answers to your question, obviously you are not old enough "mentally" to be in a relationship of this nature. Besides, if it is causing you so much turmmoil-call the county court house in your area. They will give you the state statue for laws regarding such problems. Thank you, hope this finally sinks in.

Another thing. I heard a story on the news a few weeks back, or rather, I think it was on 48 hours, about a boy who'd just turned 17 being convicted of statutory rape for a girls that was about 13 months younger then him. It was consensual, and she didn't want him arrested, and he was a minor too, but he was charged. They said it was a crime against the state. But they didn't charge the girl for sleeping with a minor. That disgusted me a whole lot.

yes and no. Depends on what the age of consent is in your state. If it's 16, then you're free to go, 17 as well. If it's 18, wait until that age. I've seen worldwde AOCs as high as 21. I the AOC is 16 or 17, then you're ok with not only 18, but 28, or even 38 year old adults! Most 18 year olds (boys) are still kids anyway, still immersed in the teen culture. They are either fresh out of high school or still attending. An 18 year old boy is most likely less mature than a 17 year old girl. Only the young women at 18 are mature because females mature faster than males. This is why some states have two AOCs. One for females and one for males, usually 14/16 or 16/18. This is no problem if it's a non-sexual dating relationship. Older guys date younger females all the time. Not only is it ok for these two to be together, it's perfectly normal. And these two teens are in roughly the same stage of life. The boy is only 5% older than the girl. In life percentage wise, it's nothing as well. Does anyone even look twice when a 36 year old man is with a 34 year old woman? Same life percentage difference here. 5%. It really is no big deal.

No. It is never rape to date another person. There must be intercourse for their to be rape.
