Hey there anon..
First of all I must congratulate you for your confidence in speaking with your parents about your decision before you actually went and made it, shows alot of trust that you have with your parents.. They should motivate themselves by rewarding you for being honest and not going behind there backs with your new guy..
I think though to slacken your situation, that you should speak with one of them that you trust more (or both of them) depending on your situation, and explain that you need to have a life outside of school.. Its better to be calm and professional when explaining these things with your parents so they dont think you are "Tina the Teenager" with moodswings..
You should mention that your schoolwork will not fail and that you understand the full consequences about having this relationship..
You should speak to them in the manner that this boy is your friend and not your boyfriend as sometimes parents find it hard to accept when their kid has a relationship... It means they are growing up..
Best Wishes
Hope i have bee of help to you..
