We have spent a lot of time together, got to know eachother and have fallen in love. We get on so well and have great fun whilst loving and caring for eachother massively.We have been keeping our relationship quiet until now, but it has become serious and we both want to be together. I have told a few of my friends but just don't know how to tell my parents. I'm 21 and I think that they should respect my choices as an adult but I just don't want to hurt them.Does anyone have any advice on how I go about telling them?Thanks x Reply to this Question

 well your 21 now and officially an adult, he's not even that much older than you, its only 4years. tell them and then it will be a weight off your shoulders, i really hope t goes well for you, introduce them to your boyfriend and then they can see that you are mature, this will gain you alot of respect. keep me updated! x

well you are both of a legal age and you are both adults!
tell them that you would really appreciate their approval and you would love them to meet your new boyfriend. maybe go out for drinks or a meal? could you answer a question, why would they be hurt by you being in this relationship? (its not really clear by your question) i'm sure your parents will be happy if you are. x
