Re: driving.

If you are legally old enough to drive and a legal adult, there's nothing your parents can do to stop you from learning to drive. They can refuse to teach you and they can refuse to let you use their car - which, admittedly, are very big road blocks - but they can't stop you from signing up for a class or finding someone else who will teach you or supply a car and help you practice. Getting a job not only would give you leverage for encouraging your parents to help with the driving problem, but it might also help with the money and social connections that you would need to learn anyway in the event your parents won't help you. Find out what the laws are where you live regarding learning to drive and getting a license and then think about a realistic plan for doing this, then see if your parents will go along with it.

Good luck, OP. This is the one part of your post that really trips me up because while yes, you should look for work and no, your parents are not required to help pay for you to go to college, keeping you from driving veers off into an area where your parents seem to be actively trying to sabotage your ability to become an independent adult in a way that undermines your self-confidence in the process. Everyone is dangerous in a car when they first learn to drive because there is no substitute for experience in this case. Whether they continue to be dangerous after practice remains to be seen, so honestly, your parents have no leg to stand on saying you shouldn't drive unless you've been practicing regularly for years and still nearly cause accidents all the time.
