if anything, it's harder being a uni student. high school students get everything digested for them in class, don't have to pay any fees and have much less work to do outside of school (i.e. uni is lectures and then you go off and try to learn wtf it is the lecturer just talked about, whereas in class u do examples and shit and u go home and just finish them off and that's it).
anyways, extreme example. I understand. But, seriously, your parents are absolte retards.
edit: just to note... I don't take that "maturity" bullshit into account. If you can f*ck someone and make babies at 16 then you can sure as hell support yourself. Nature woudn't give you one without the ability to do the other.
uh, no high school students have to... go to high school uni students have way more free time to manage

Shit dude, if you do that record it. Maybe even hide a video tape. It would be Fucking hilarious.
Call your doctor. Have a blood test taken. Have your doctor attach a letter to the blood test results saying that it is incontrovertible proof you do not, nor have you recently used any illegal substances.
This will fail. Your parents will accuse the doctor of using drugs and alcohol. Now you schedule an appointment with a licensed psychologist, who will then tell your parents they are delusional. They are making claims and judgments despite the lack of sufficient evidence.
Maybe they'll believe that. If not, go to your backup plan.
Buy illegal drugs, and then plant them on your father where your mom will find them. Then, when he's "caught," start crying like a baby, and say "He made me do it with him! It wasn't my fault!"

Yeah, I agree. Some people just can't solve problems by themselves and have to rely on the "legal system" because they're too lazy or stupid, which is like probably half or so of USA lol.
Yeah, I mean, it's not like undue mental distress towards a dependent is illegal or anything. It really shocks me to the core when someone actually expects the law to be upheld! Just the other night I watched a man on TV get arrested for armed robbery. Now he's going to jail! Man, whatever happened to people just taking matters into their own hands? It makes me sick to my stomach to live in a country where people expect that big legal system to due their jobs. What a bunch of pansies!

She doesn't actually think you're on drugs, she's just resisting your changing (and maturing) life style choices and expressing it by ragging on you about what you're "probably" doing.
I'm sure somebody has said it already, but since your parents are convinced you do drugs you might as well start freebasing some shit. It won't come as shock when they find out.

what kind of degree did you do?
I could understand your "uni students have way more free time" theory if u do/did arts.... or if yur one of those ppl who went to uni to "discover themselves"... or if yur just one of those ppl that wants to "pass" and "have fun.... have fun paying the tuition fees (is that what they call em in america?) when you're working at a bar. If you want to do a REAL degree that will get you GOOD employment you're studying/going to lectures FULL TIME.
I had 30 hours of lectures + 12-14 hrs study time. If I had an assignment my time doubled. I'd pretty much be living and breathing uni 24/7. In fourth year I even SLEPT in the room that was assigned for my thesis. LOL. Crazy shit but I had a fold-out bed in there and would just pass out from doing work/cramming. Oh, I'm in the most thankless profesion of all... engineering.
ANYWAYS... I'm not arguing that point here... it's not about me.

Sry for disrespecting your parents dude, bu they sound really retarded :/ I don't know what you could do.
Maybe try to have a straightfoward discussion with them an telling them how lame you think they are. It's kind of a 14 nexus though ^^ risky stuff because if they take it wrong you might be completely grounded, but it cann also make them think critically about the situation. GL man
sitenote : geez my english has gone from decent to bad and now totally patheticT_T
^ what he said...dont get mad about this, show them that you need respect too. and if they dont want it the easy way just ignore them, work, go to classes, do your normal shit and talk to them just the minimum necesary.
grow up some balls too, you deserve respect and the way to earn it is not easy in your case.
^ Lol @ respect. ^ In chinese culture, kids deserve respect from their parents like Rekrul deserves christmas presents. Overbearing parents fighting~~~
I tried to convince my mom I deserved respect once. She lawled.
