Trust me I know what your going through. I too came from the philippines with strict parents. Prove to them that you're an adult. Make something out of yourself, go to school and get a career and show them that your not a bum and you have plans for the future. You have to break them slowly and carefully. I have tried everything from drinking to drugs and I made sure I was responsible enough not to go crazy and over do it. But I made something out of myself and now my parents lives with me in my house. Isn't that ironic. Show them that you study hard and play hard. Try to live with them as much as you can because once you move out it's a whole lot of responsibilities to be alone.
