Jaline, you scare me when you talk about slitting your wrists.
Parenting is a fucked up job. I'm sure in their minds they're worried sick about you, so even though the logic is warped and archaic, it probably comes from a place of love, which is more than some of us can say about our parents.
With that said, I'd tell them you're going. You've given proper notice, you're not lying, you're not using this as an excuse to use drugs and have dirty sex (right?), and at the end of the day, they'll get over it.
Sometimes you have to grab hold of the leverage, even when you think the other side has all the power. At first they'll be shocked, then probably angry. But they won't disown you, and if they do over something petty and inconsequential like this, well, at least you know where they stand, and can then prepare yourself for this world alone, which when it comes down to it is what we need to do at some point anyway.
We're born naked and alone in this world, and that's how we're going to leave. Might as well try and enjoy things in the meantime.
