Perhaps you've all along been a good son to your parents. If I'm
not wrong, you've never argued or challenge their authority over
you, am I rite?
If so, then I've come to believe that you've "spoiled" your
parents. Itz very natural. All living things tend to act ya ya when
they are unchallenged, and will not change for the better.
I too, have been in this route. Told my parents tat I'm interested
in this so-and-so gal in class when I was 13, got told-off and
"brainwashed" by them. Anyway, I was not easily "brainwashed" and,
call me petty but, I still remember tat "talking session" until
now.
After tat got rebellous, you know, young over-zealous blood, did
things behind my parents back, never tell them anything, went to
arcades(was told by parents tat this is where bad pple hangout) and
bowling after school, picked up smoking, learnt to stare and fight,
talk loudly. But went home, behaving like a little tame
kitten.
I only confess to them wat I did when I go to poly, they were
surprised, shocked. Anyway, they also L.L. loh. But they were glad
I didn't go overboard.
Today I'm 26, and my parents are anxious for me and wan some gal to
get me laid. And itz my turn now to "brainwash" them into believing
tat I dun need a gal to tie me down, and kept reminding them of wat
they said when I was 13.... hee hee..... 
Sooo fun to see their guilty faces and keep
saying,"Noo... I didn't say tat wat..." 
So dude, go ahead and get a gf, I'll doubt your parents are going
to cut your Uni fundings. And if they really do cut it, go work and
fund your Uni funding yourself, have some backbone, cos you are
already 21 years old, so dun expect to depend on your parents all
the time. You wan your freedom, you need to work for it, and not
sit in your sofa eat potatoe chips and wait for it to come to
you.
But all in all, dun hate your parents, they do all these things for
ur own good, just tat they do it the wrong way, if possible, try to
correct them.
