His family is friends with mine and he's been friends with my sister for years. I need help because we don't know how to tell my parents and we really want to be a couple already.

 I don't know what state you live in, but in Califonia the age of consent to have sex is 18. If you are still a minor under your state laws, your parents are likely to be quite concerned about the age difference because it's actually a CRIME if you and this guy do anything sexual together. 5 years is not that big a difference when you're 20 and he's 25, but it's a big difference if he's an adult and you're legally a minor. Please be careful.

 Firstly... thats not a big age gap- even in your age..
and also, I am in the same situation... but worse.
I am also 16 and my boyfriend is 26 :)
I still dont see that as a big age gap.
I love him so what does age matter?
Tell them slowly, I would suggest one person alone, at a time you know you wont be disturbed. If they care about you they will understand.
