He made an extremely adult decision, and is now acting immaturely.
The longer he waits, the harder it will be, and the longer his parents will be ticked off. Perhaps, if he's really nervous, he can have his grandfather with him when he breaks the news.

it really would be better to tell them so that he doesn't surprise them later...that is only fair...even if they don't like it at first, they can have time to come to accept it. Also, he owes them that after 17 years of care and that is just due respect.

Well, I'd say he should tell them because he will be gone and they are eventually going to realize it. They are parents they find out everything, so if they find out and he didn't tell them, they would probably be even more mad.
