Because of the age difference I lie to them as to where I'm stopping which is causing a strain on the relationship and we constantly argue? What exactly should I do? Do I carry on or end it?

He can't meet your parents because what you are doing is illegal and he can go to jail.

 If you have to lie then you are ashamed. Why are you ashamed? Love should never be a lie or cause shame, so this is not love. What is it?

 It's only 2 months in, there's no need to go introducing him to your parents right away there will be time for that later.
I'm also curious(no offense) as to what a 22-23 year old who is finished or finishing up college wants with a 16-17 year old who is still in high school. Perhaps, you're mature for your age or he can't get a girlfriend around his own age. Reason why I mention this is that college guys tend to date girls out of high school, and those who are at least 21 so that they're able to drink in bars with them. 16-17 versus 22-23 you're both at different places in your life.
Lying to your parents gets old, and you tend to run out of excuses. Just tell them the truth, that you're hanging out with your boyfriend. I wouldn't exactly volunteer his age, but if they do ask don't lie. That's assuming you're allowed to date. Now if they throw a fit and ban you from seeing him, well it's their house, their rules. However, if they accept it then you and your boyfriend are argument free and he can meet them when he's comfortable with it.
