Strict parents

I agree with Alexis 1623, but I think your problem is that your parents raised you strictly which caused you to be a “good girl” which was good but now you are stuck in that good girl mode and trying to please your parents but they have to understand that you are growing up and you are older now and you have “grown up tendecies” It might be nice to sit them down and have a good talk with them and pour out your feelings and ideas and let them know that there is a wonderful man in your life and you want them to meet him and be nice to him. If you are worried about them embarrasing you talk to him in private first and tell him whow your parents are and if he really loves you he won’t care or he’d try to put up with it. I want you to ask yourself (are you really happy watching the parade go by and being stuck in the sidelines just because of your parents? ) If the answer is No then you must know that you have to face your fears and you must fight your battles.And you must handle this the way a true adult would , nothing silly like just getting pregnant to make your parents accept that you are older. That’s a very childish way to go about things. If they an’t accept it or they dont respond the right way you still have to live your life regardless.

You are 21 you can do what you please!!!

Tell them your old enough to have a boy friend you are NOT a little girl you are a women!!!

A 21 yo female makes what she wants, she does not need the permission of the parents. If the atmosphere at home is so bad that you cannot tell anything personal about your real life, then do not tell anything. Not you are that who built up this (terrible) atmosphere at home. Anyways, many 21 yo females can live on their own. That is usually help the process of getting more free and independent.
