Good call on that one.
I imagine that you are going to ask for your parents' help with college in some fashion.
They have no obligation to give it to you but if you guys have an agreement, like you respect them and they will help you, then great!
Okay so I'm not going to argue with anyone who said they overreacted... but my hunch is that it was out of genuine concern for your well-being and once you go off on your own and do your thing like an adult, you will be able to tell them, hey, you know I wasn't such a bad kid after all, but whatever, you get an A for effort, right? And bonus, you all get along and there's no weirdness at Thanksgiving. lol.
And you don't really want to have to go out totally on your own without some form of support from the 'rents... especially not in THIS economy... yikes.
