That's a real shame about your parents, perhaps you misunderstood their intentions though? I hated my parents when I was 17 (that feels truly awful to say), because they made me study for my GCSEs to what I thought was an excessive extent. Fast forward 10 years and I know that this is the best (and hardest) thing they ever did for me. Without that pushing (kicking up the backside) I would have probably not done great in my GCSEs and not been able to have gone down my dream career path. Perhaps your parents were thinking the same? Giving you the best possible chance of getting qualifications should you need them? It is so difficult to realise and appreciate that at the time, I get that. I could be wrong, I don't know your parents. I do know that it is incredibly easy to blame them for difficult times and feelings though.
I hope you find a career that you love, I really do believe there is a career out there for everyone, you've just gotta find it! Totally get the parties mentality, but it really is possible to find a balance
Best of luck to you (no sarcasm there at all!!) I also hope you begin to enjoy the process in developing your own bonsai, I've not been doing it long but I think the learning about and taking care for your plants can do so many good things to the mind
