Well, you should tell them. And as for your parents hitting you, it's not acceptable at all. Especially at your age, you do NOT get hit. It just doesn't happen. If by some chance it does, I honestly and truely have to tell you, TELL SOMEONE. It shouldn't happen at your age. Are you taller or stronger than one of your parents? Tower over them and act like you aren't scared. Intimidate them and tell them you aren't scared and if they hit you, you WILL hit them back, and you don't have a problem moving out [if you have a place to go]. I'm thirteen and it worked for me. My dad used to hit me, and one day I flipped out and hit him back as hard as I possibly could. He doesn't hit me anymore, but that depends on if your parents will go on like a rampage if you threaten them. However, your parents hitting you at any age is NOT right and isn't going to continue, I won't let you allow it, hahah.

It doesnt matter if your parents ike this guy and his parents or not. You like him and have chosen him to be your boyfriend. They can raise as much issues or fuss as they want but you are still going to be with him.
If you do not feel comfortable telling them you are seeing this boy than don't tell them. It is your choice and if your gut keeps telling you not to don't say anything to them.
The thing is that sooner or later they are likely to find out on their own as parents so often do. Wouldn't it be better coming from you than anyone else or by discovery? They would be more upset i think that you didn't tell them yourself than if you did tell them.
You also have a sister that will back you up and make sure nobody hits you. They can get in a lot of shit for that so I don't see it happening unless it's a typical reaction. I think you should tell them the truthg and get it out in the open.
