Can you get in trouble with the law from another state if you live in another?

Yes, both criminally and civilly.
One example: speeding. If you are speeding in another state, an officer from that state can pull you over regardless of what state you're from. If guilty of a traffic violation, you will owe a fine to that state for violating their laws during your stay, even if you're merely passing through the state on your way home.
Strike 1. [So, if you are going to speed or get in trouble with the law, at least give it back to where you live in your state! :)]
A more serious criminal example: You are arrested in another state on a criminal charge. You post bail and hightail it back to your home state, missing your court date in the other state. That court issues a warrant for your arrest. Bail bondsmen or police in your home state can and will enforce the arrest warrant from the other state.
Strike 2.
A civil litigation example: you take out a credit card issued by a bank in North Dakota but live in Alabama. You fail to pay the card, defaulting on the debt. The credit card company can go to court in North Dakota and get a judgment against you for the outstanding balance (plus interest, collection and court costs), then come into Alabama to collect. Note that in this example, you never left Alabama.
Strike 3!

You are 15 your boyfriend is 18 and you are pregnant could he get in trouble even though your parents like him?
You didn't state where you live, but if you live in the US, you're under the age of sexual consent in every single state. Therefore, he broke the law by having sex with you, so yes, he can get in trouble. Big trouble. It doesn't matter if your parents like him or even if they are opposed to him being charged. Your parents don't have the right to 'forgive' someone for breaking the law. It's not your parents that file charges, it's the state/DA, and they do not need your parents' permission or cooperation to file charges against him. Tell him to talk to an attorney.

Depends on where you live and if there are exceptions to the law in your state. The 17yo is not an adult yet so it's not statutory rape.
