Minors are seen as "mentally incompetent", or, in other words, not capable of making rational decisions on their own.

Legally, minors CAN enter into a contract; however, the minor is, generally, exempt from any punishments or sanctions of that contract. The adult, on the other hand, is fully responsible for it.

Or, in short, the minor can violate the contract, and receive little-to-no punishment, while you are still held responsible if you did the same.

So, it is not illegal to service minors. It's just not in your best interest.

Where can you get married the age of 17 in south Caroline to my 19 year old boyfriend that I have been with for 3 years?

Without parental consent - nowhere. With parental consent - wherever you want. Since you are below 18 you need a certified copy of your birth certificate and a notarized statement of parental consent. The parent or legal guardian has to also appear at the same time as you to show their identification and to sign the parental consent form.
