I'm an old guy but I remember having those feelings. The future will be much better than you imagine it.
You will have a different opinion about your parents' actions 10 or 15 years from now. At the very least, you'll understand where they were coming from.
My only advice is to avoid turning molehills into mountains because that's how insignificant disagreements can turn into lifelong grudges.
That said, being an adult is all about taking responsibility for yourself. Do what you feel is best for you.
I don't want to do shop work forever, but I'd rather be earning while I decide what I actually want to do. And once uni ends, I won't get my degree straight away so...
And I knoooow they have different opinions to me, I just don't know why they can't listen to what I have to say about why they're different.
