Hey there and welcome. I'm sorry you're stuck in this position, but I'm glad you're getting a therapist. You're right, the things your parents are saying won't help and I hope a professional will. Unfortunately, the crappy stuff everyone hates doing doesn't end in high school, especially if you were to drop out. You'd be left with fewer options and low-paying jobs that you might hate more. I completely understand wanting to get through this and get on to doing what you want to do, but that can't happen if you skip steps. And, once you're in the real world, even with a job you love (which may not come right away), you'll have to do things, or tolerate people that you won't like.
