Im gonna agree with chubbycat here. Having to pay for your own apartment, food etc is HARD and takes a lot of time that you could use to draw and study instead.
You are still extremely young and havnt even finished school, so dont feel to much rush just yet. Maybe its possible that you could arrange some kind of "deal" with your parents where you would only be working part time during the weekends (I have been doing that for a few years, and as long as you cut out distractions such as games, stupid TV shows, facebook etc (just get rid of theese completely) you can actually do it this way). If you are earning atleast enough money to pay some of the expenses at home and buy your own stuff, then maybe they will be more tolerant and understanding?
Not to mention, if you set up a studying schedule for yourself where you self teach, then you should start seeing improvement in your art fairly quickly, witch will also help your parents tolerate your decision.
Then, after about 2-3 years or so on this schedule, you could apply for some university. This will also give you time to really find out what kind of art you prefer to study - illustration, game art, comics, graphic design etc. And you wont have spent tens of thousands of pounds doing it! Just my opinion of course - Do what you want!
