user-1: I love my parents, but for some reason they do not understand my teaching and misinterpret what I say and won't listen to me. Their misinterpretations led them to take all of my books on Buddhism I was studying as well as prevent me from meditation whenever I try or try to be mindful of doing anything, they prevent me from having to do with the Buddha's teachings (However, I can still do online things in secret as you can see). They say that when I leave the house or grow to a sufficient age, then I can resume, but for now, they have the right to take away my religion basically and it is really putting a hard toll on my spiritual growth and practice for purity. They hope it will fade away, but I have used the Dhamma as my practice for two years now and I have grown to know its truth, unlike my parents.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do? Are there
any ways I can continue the practice even though my parents work
effortlessly for me not to do so? How can I work to show metta to them
when I want to but get frustrations when they push away my teachings
or speak as if Buddhism is a "cult" that makes me anti-social and a
bad person, even though I have explained all of it to them?
Please help! Metta!

user17130: When we care about someone we want to share good things with them. If they don't want that gift it can be painful. We must respect their decision to accept or reject the gift.
Part of growing up is to take responsibility for our own life and how we choose to live. Your parents may be scared that you are growing up fast.  They may find it difficult to understand that you have found something important for yourself that is different from the life they had in mind for you.  During growing up this is often a source of tension and arguments between parents and children. Eventually a child's way of life becomes their own responsibility, but along the way, the parents give the best guidance they can (even if they are not always so well-informed).  Arguments about who's way is right are normal and to be expected, even if it is painful to have those arguments.  The arguments are a sign that they care about your life and want the best for you (as they see it).
At times it can be valuable to have another adult to discuss these things with, a teacher or counsellor, an aunt or uncle or just a family friend.

user8157: You should not be teaching your parents Buddhism. It is forbidden in Buddhism to teach others Buddhism; unless the other people request to be taught (AN 9.5). 
You should not be practising "zombie mindfulness" in sight of your parents because this will freak them out. As a Buddhist, your practise is to not cause harm or distress to others. In your parent's home, when with others, you should act naturally and normally. 
Apart from this, there is nothing stopping you from meditating in private and also practising right speech, right action & right livelihood in public. 
Buddhism (DN 31) says your parents have the duty to train you for a profession, i.e., ensure you receive an education. Your Buddhism should not interfere with your schooling and education. 

user43: You don't have to make a show out of your Dharma. You don't need to make it fly in your parents faces. There's no need to convince them of anything. Buddhism is what you practice in your mind. No-one needs to know. In fact, making it a secret practice only makes it more powerful.
When you practice the perfect Buddhism - which is defined as Buddhism without Ego - on the outside you will be perfect, too.
