Is it way to early? Should I wait? Help!?
I am 17 and Me and My boyfriend have been together for 6 mo. we just recently spent 3 wks together nonstop and it was great we have an amazing time. I loved making up with him next to me and i loved just seeing him and spending time together it was the best time of my life. now that we are home and not seeing each other 24/7 i am going crazy and i miss him so much! and my grandma said the only way i would ever move in with him would be if i got pregnant... so is it to early to start a life with the one i love the most? is it to early to start a family?

YES!! You are 17 and lovestruck! That isn't where you should start a LIFETIME commitment! A child is expensive and a lot of work. Can you support one by yourself? Are you ready to share him with other person? Are you mature enough to dictate the life of another? I would bet the answers to all these is no, since it was the same for me at that age. You are not ready to have a baby. A baby isn't a like a puppy. It's another human whom both of you will fall in love with. My sister almost ended her marriage because she and her husband were always arguing about how to raise their daughter and she was 20! You guys are not ready! If you last then you will get your 24/7 (oh btw with a baby there is no 24/7 there is maybe 30 minutes in the middle of the day) just wait. It will be better for you for him for everyone.

I don't think your grandma was saying that you need to get pregnant, instead merely making an assumption which has clearly had some effect on you. Getting pregnant so young won't bring you both closer, the fact you stated that you enjoyed the time you spent together means you must love 'alone time', who doesn't? But with a baby you won't get that, you'll be lucky to have half an hour to yourself for the first couple of years. Babies cause huge stress to young couples as they are incredibly expensive and a huge responsibility that you don't need as a teen. Wait a while, make sure this guy is the one you want to start a family with. There's nothing worse than falling pregnant and falling out with the father. I do agree that parenthood can be done, but if you're not in the situation, don't put yourself in it. Ensure you're financially stable, working a good job, have a nice house and have seen all you want to see before introducing new life into the world. You only live once, don't let a child so young stop you from living.

Yes, it's too early to start a family. A word to the wise, don't move in with a guy because you're pregnant... grow up, get an education, get a job, then you can start thinking that way.
And don't start a family with anyone you've only known for 6 mo. Just saying.
