Thats not the most healthy and best relationship. Your age difference is way too big! I was told that 2-3 years is best and 5-7 is maximum...
Her parents will not approve this... I wouldnt. But if its true love and you truly love eachother. I know a simular couple but see it this way. You will die much sooner than her and you will leave her alone which is the worst thing that could happen. Beening alone. And your kids will be out of the house. Thats really bad. I'd reccomend you end the relationship

She shall just tell her parents the truth and if they cant accept the fact that you are a bit older than she is then yo girl wouldn't have a problem because y'all is in love

Ouch!
Starting off a relationship with a lie is tough to recover from. And it looks like you two started your relationship with her parents with a lie.
The best way is to apologize first. Explain how much she loves you and how happy you make her feel. Then apologize again.
That's a large age difference, but not completely unsurmountable.

Tell them the truth. It's never a good idea to deceive anyone. You will lose their trust and they'll always be supicious of you in the future.

If your relationship is getting serious, than you need to fess up. In the long run, lying it's going to make the situation any better.

well first of all, she probably shouldnt be the one to do it. you need the be the stronger one in the relationship.
maybe if you feel worried or uncomfortable with telling her parents you could both tell them together.
if you dont like doing it in person you could always do it over the phone.

You put yourself in a tight squeeze, when they find out the two of you lied to them they are gonna have a hard time trusting you. Hope it all works out in your favor!

She should just come out and tell them. Be prepared for her parents to be upset.

That is a really sticky situation...The truth is always better and she should just sit down and tell them.
