Will you be living in a caravan not too far from home Ali?
A few extracts from this, ummm:

http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/benefits-for-young-people

“If you're 16 or 17, you will only be able to claim JSA in exceptional circumstances, for example, estrangement from your family leading to severe hardship.”

(Seems like Ali’s circumstances may be deemed “exceptional”)

“You can claim Housing Benefit to help pay for your rent or rates if your income and savings are below a certain level. ”

(Seems that Ali’s income and savings may possibly be below a certain level, hence my question)

“Child Tax Credit is a weekly payment to help towards your living costs if you're 16 or over and have full responsibility for looking after a child (even if you're not the parent).”

(Maybe not just yet, but…)

Despite the government’s claims to the contrary many, many young people live on benefits and many of them are similar to Ali who want to “move out” for various reasons. I see plenty of them. Only if they realise that they will be potless and on the streets will they think a bit more carefully. There is no reason why the taxpayer should pick up the tab for youngsters such as Ali to “gain their independence” (which they are not doing in the slightest).

you can't get HB when you are 16 if you are living with BF relatives.
she can't get JSA because she's at college
Ali life probably looks rosy now with a boyfriend and his family making you welcome, but how are you going to manage? Have you no pride, you need to earn your own money and have your own place, does your boyfriend have a job? Don't rely upon the gypsy lifestyle it's rough, hard and unsettled. I'm not surprised your father went crazy. Your parents love you and I expect they both have hopes of you getting a decent job earning enough money to settle down with someone later. Sixteen is too young for all that, don't disappoint your mam and dad, get a life first, enjoy yourself before leaving home and regretting it later.
and she hasn't got a baby (that she's said)

Where does the £80 come from?

What are you going to study at "college"? Sorry to be critical but your spelling and punctuation are not too good currently so you may need to work on that before you undertake a college course (though I may be wrong)..

What career do you hope to follow?

Are you happy to be supported by your b/f's family?

Where will you live?

Do you really want to spend the rest of your life dependent on other people?

Lots of other questions spring to mind but those will do to be going on with.

Sorry to sound harsh but just trying to make sure you have thought all this through properly. Others answering this question have put it a bit more delicately but my view is that your idea is utterly ridiculous. You have no chance of supporting yourself for some time and will be a burden on others for some years to come. Additionally you may find that entering a gypsy family, particularly as a gypsy's wife, is not all you think it’s cracked up to be and you may like to explore some alternatives before burning your boats.

But if that’s what you really want go right ahead.
You'll have much more to worry about if you fall pregnant being so young and no settled life in front of you. Think it over very carefully.
