Need help!! Parents won't let go!!

<p>My parents have always been keeping me inside the house in my home country (Vietnam). They believe that the outside is too dangerous hence they wouldn't let me stay out later than 8pm. Now that I'm in the US, they want me to enroll into a community college for the sake of being near them and cost. To be honest, I want to get the heck out of my home especially that I'm getting in to UC Davis (ELC Student). But nooooooo they don't think that I'm mature/independent enough to take of myself. How should I convince them? :(</p>

<p>Halp!!</p>

<p>Hmm… A lot of Vietnamese and Filipino parents that I have encountered seem to share the same mentality. I wonder why that is.</p>
