The age of majority in Georgia is 18. You are legally free to leave and do whatever you want. However, you will also destroy your relationship with your mother. If you and your boyfriend are mature enough to live together you should be able to sit down with your mother and discuss issues such as college, marriage, financial support, employment, pregnancy, etc.
The Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act, Pub. L. No. 111-22, §§ 701-704 (2009), which became law on May 20, 2009, applies to state eviction proceedings.
This act requires that a new owner who took title to residential rental property through foreclosure must honor existing leases until the end of the lease term.
There are three exceptions to this rule: 1) if there is an existing term lease and the new owner wants to occupy the foreclosed property as a personal residence before the end of the lease term, 2) if there is an existing term lease with less than 90 days to the end of the lease term, or 3) if the existing lease on the foreclosed property is a month-to-month tenancy or a tenancy at will. In each of these cases, the owner must provide the tenant at least 90 days notice to terminate the tenancy.

Legally, you become an adult at 18 and may leave home if you choose. I believe you should consider staying with your mom at least until you finish high school. Once you leave, your mom has no obligation to provide you with any type of help or support. You will be on your own. If you think you are mature enough and able to get a job and support yourself you may not need your mom's help, but keep in mind it will be difficult to attend college while working and supporting yourself. If you become pregnant, you may find yourself supporting yourself and your child, and spending years paying for medical and hospital bills for the birth of your child. You, your mom and your boyfriend should sit down with a counselor or minister and talk this thing through. Everyone needs to be willing to listen. It sounds like your mom is trying to keep you from making what could be a significant mistake with your life. Good luck
