There really isn't an easy way to bring it up- I know that I'd get embaressed but it will be best to bring it up as soon as possible. Tell your bf that you are gonna speak to your mum and dad about this so that he can do the same with his parents.

I guess you should - just ask your parents whether you can speak to them (do you have brothers or sisters because it'll be harder to speak to your parents on your own if you do) and well just tell them. As I said it won't be easy, but it'll be alright once you have told them. And after you've told them you won't have to worry about what they're gonna say because you'll know by then. But perhaps they won't even react in the way you expect them to.

It'll be ok. They're your parents and they'll trust you so just do it - tell them the truth. Good luck x x x

Fairy_Lu agony auntTalk to your parents and tell them that your not having sex just enjoy being together and see if that helps after all its only 2 years there probably more worried that your having sex then the age diffrence, if you just talk with them and act mature i think they will change there minds are parents are there to protect us and most the time they just want our honesty.

Tell your parents that you are just boyfriend and girlfriend and that you just enjoy spending time with each other and that you have no intention of having sex or anything like that. Tell them that he means alot to you and you really couldn't bear to be broken up from him.

Just make sure that your parents know the truth so that they can trust you. It is a problem if they don't want you dating him because you could end up having loads of arguements and stuff - when you could just be getting along as normal. So just talk about it to them and they should understand.

You seem like a really sensible and nice girl and your bf sounds like a really nice guy too! - (I'm jealous!! lol!)

Good luck =] x x x
