I(17m) talked back to my parents for the first time in my life. So a lil backstory here, ever since I was a kid I've been a very shy and introverted and never talked back or argued with my parents ever, they tell me to sleep, I sleep, they tell me to eat I eat, and this has literally been my life all together, and recently I feel like I don't even have a life anymore because of this. I turned 17 a month ago and my parents still treat me like a child, I wake up pretty early (I had holidays for 2 weeks) around 6-7 and yk brush my teeth take a bath blah blah the usual, after that I go for a run, gym and reach back home. Once I'm home I start studying cuz my senior year of high school and attend few extra courses and prepare for a competition coming up and play basketball in the weekend. Throughout this entire routine my parents control me like a robot telling me to do all of this and the only way I get any sort of entertainment or have literally any kind of fun is play basketball in the weekend IF I get time. I sleep at 10 and my mum takes away my phone and she literally only gives it to me for like an hour to look at imp messages from school or tuition. At this point I'm kinda fucking mad and I'm lil fed up. I can't go out with friends barely go to any birthday parties, have no social life outside of school even though I have plenty of friends, I'm tired. So 2 days back I was in my room studying at around 10 30 when my dad comes up and says as usual to hand over the phone (even though I just got it) and I literally just crash out at this point, I get up and I scream No, and I keep saying stuff along the lines of I'm fed up and I ain't giving you shit (all in my native Lang) and that literally scares the shit out of my dad and mum who was behind him, and Im a pretty decently athletic and tall dude im like 6'2 compared to my dad who's barely 5 8 and mum who's around 5'2. So I say all of this and shut the door and go to sleep, and ever since then my parents haven't talked to me and my mum keeps saying to other relatives that I'm corrupted or I'm getting bad influence from my friends at school and they keep saying I don't love them n shit like that.

Ps: English isn't my first language so forgive me for any mistakes.
