Personally I would tell my Mom, because I just HATE keeping secrets from her. Im 16, and I am very active in military activities....I am ranked captain in the military academy I'm in. And my boyfriend he is 19 turning 20 in October and he just graduated Marine Bootcamp and ranked as a Lt. When I first brought him home for my mom to meet she didn't really like the age diffrence in the beginng but my mom she was also a very high ranked officer in the armed forces. So my Mom and my boyfriend found common ground and just built a relationship on that. Now my mom just LOVES my boyfriend. Not only because is he military, ranked,a job, education, car, but he also listens and abides by the rules the she has no quetions asked. (And he treats mommy's little girl like a queen :-).....) And this guy matt he has allot of common ground with your mom and he can also relate to your little sister. So give it a shot. It shows respect to your parents and to yourself,...and they will see you as a very trust worthy and mature young woman and they will be proud to say that that is their daughter. So give it a shot.
