If you have only been dating a month, are you sure you two are exclusive? If he has another girl (or has that option), it is fine for you to date the second boy to see how he is after you get to know him.
Think about these things and I think you'll find your answer:
1) Why don't your parents like the first boy?
2) Is it the first boy you like, or the adventure of sneaking a romance?
3) Why do your parents like the second boy?
4) If you knew neither of these boys, what would you say you are looking for in a boyfreind?
I'm not saying your parents are right, but they usually try to advise you on what they think is best for you--so figure out why they think like they do before deciding whether you agree.

No one you break up with at age15 will leave you feeling guilty for long. You've got plenty of life and love ahead of you.
You've only got a few years left under your parent's roof - why not do your best to make those last years at home a pleasant memory instead of a bitter one? Go out with someone nice, who your parents like, so you don't have to sneak around (and get caught sneaking around, and get in huge trouble for sneaking around,,,)
Ditch the 18 yr old guy, and start seeing the 17 yr old guy your parents approve of. It will make life easier for everyone, and if there's something good your parents see in this guy (or something bad they see in the other guy) maybe you should trust their instincts a little bit. They only want the best for you, and for you to be happy, so maybe it wouldn't hurt to trust their well-honed wisdom and instincts.

Go with your gut. Break up with the 18 y/o, but do it gently. Tell him you need some space or that your parents found out. You may wish for a short time you hadn't but this will pass. Go slow with the 17 y/o and give yourself a chance to move on. Good luck.

Life is full of options. In relationships, the hardest choice is making the right one - but go with your instinct. Your relationship will be easier to manage if you have your parents' approval.

Man, get a grip. You are only 15. Too young to date anyway.
