Okay, so Friday night, I wanted to sit down with my dad to go through course selection for my first year of college next year. We've had disagreements about courses in the past, as I've always been interested in liberal arts (such as art, creative writing, humanities, philosophy, sociology, anthropology etc.), and he's been wanting me to persue more serious fields such as law and politics. Nonetheless, recently we were able to come to a compromise.

So, I log in to my student portal on my laptop, pull up the list of courses, get things ready, pull up a chair for him, and then call him to get started. He refuses, says he wants to do it from his laptop, asks for the login information to my student portal. I tell him that I've already got everything set up on my laptop. He asks me why he can't have the login details. I tell him that this is my personal account that I'll be using throughout the year for assignments and to communicate with my teachers and stuff. He'll probably never need to use it, so there's no point. He gets aggressive and says that either we do it on his laptop or I get lost. I refuse, and he's been really upset and taunting me all weekend.

He keeps saying that I'm going against islam and doing something that Allah doesn't like by not obeying him. He says that just because I'm 18 doesn't mean he loses authority over me. He's acting like I've hurt him in a really bad way, and because of this I will be a loser in life. He claims that I've been americanized and that he never should've brought me here.

Am I at fault here? Is there anything in the Quran or hadith that allows children to decline unreasonable requests by their parents? For parents to respect their children's privacy and speak to them respectfully? Anything at all?

The truth is that I don't think I'm at all the same type of Muslim that he is. I find myself disagreeing with nearly all his views, but I'm too scared to ever let him know that. I'm also a bisexual, and it feels like everyday I'm fighting to keep these thingd from him. So far, reddit and going to public school have been my only true escapes. Through both I've been able to explore my personality, interact with different kinds of people, and write about the things that I truly feel, and I definitely don't want to lose that when I go to college. So am I really wrong for not wanting him to have access to my personal account?
