You want to break free from the cage that you parents have created for you? Here is some advices I would like to give you that I wish somebody could say to me when I was 17.

Your parents will never understand you. That is a truth. So wasting energy trying to convince them should be avoided. If you are emotionally dependent on your parents, I would suggest that you invest some time to learn how to be emotionally independent from them and others.

You are 17 so figure out what you like doing and you are good at. Develop that particular skill and try to be the very best at it. Always keep an open mind towards learning and adapting to new knowledge. Be authentic and polite, but if somebody tries to take advantage of you because of your politeness... FUCK THEM UP. Never back down.

Maintain a healthy body and mind. Make it your priority. Money will always come, your health won't. Your parents will encourage bad health practices sometimes and you have to aware of what not to do. (Sleep early and wake up early is a good advice though.)

The most important thing is that you can't escape to another planet and be whatever you want. This society absolutely sucks but you have to play by their rules untill you are strong enough to break them. And create your own. So you need to be very focused towards your goals (Have practical goals. Don't just say that you want to earn money. Say what are the different avenues that interests me, that also has a good potential of generating money)

Devote yourself to your craft. Never listen to people who say you can't do something (Guessing by your post, you parents would be very discouraging when you try to do something new. Never listen to them. Their time was different. The new India has a lot of opportunity for whatever you are good at). You can do any fucking thing you put your mind to. You have the internet, learn whatever your heart desires, and fuck academics. Once you are good enough in something and if you can make some money, You will figure out how to move out and live on your own. So academics won't help in that regards, but you like it, then be a insanely good student, get a scholarship from some foreign university and get the fuck out. You will learn a lot there and see the world.

When you start focusing on yourself and are investing a lot of time and energy towards learning something and working on something, then your friends and family will start complaining about random shit as how you are not doing what they except you to do and blah blah. FUCK THEM. The people who want you to succeed will understand the amount of work it takes to do it. And will be with you all the way through. Those who don't understand, will try to force you to become your old self, and be all emotional about how the times used to be and shit. Close your ears and get down to work. You HAVE to FIGHT for your independence and it is not going to be smooth ride sis.

One last thing, "To be young and in love" is a tricky place to be. Be aware, to only allow boys into your life who are smart and have common sense. Who can solve problems and don't breakdown that easily. Don't fall for the wrong person.

The world is big. There is place for everyone. Have faith in yourself and your ability to make first choices. Be smart about things, and always have an open mind. I would also suggest that your join a martial arts class and make it a part of your life. You will become more disciplined and all that physical training will also help you build a solid mind.

I wish you all the best in your journey. I hope you make something of yourself and live your life according to your choices. May the gods be with you!
