I need help with my relationship!

I am a 15 year old female and my girlfriend is 19 years old. Is there any law stating we can not be together or anything?

It depends on the state you live in, as each state has different laws regarding sex and/or dating. In NJ, the age of consent for sexual intercourse is 16 years old. This basically means that legally you cannot consent to sex. For more information, it would be helpful to check with an adult, like a guidance counselor at school or your parents. You can also check out the website www.sexetc.org. In the "search" box, type in "sex in the states," and a map of the US will pop up. Click on NJ (or whichever state you reside in) and a list of laws regarding consent will come up. Please call 2NDFLOOR anytime at 888-222-2228 for more help with this.
