Count on being added to my prayers. No matter what, keep praying that 15+ decade rosary, keep it in your pocket at all times no matter what, wear the scapular and tell God, respectfully and with however much faith you can, to "get me out of here,  I will never make it to heaven living this way, put me where I need to be." You may need to do this daily for a bit.

Please, after however long, let us know how well this worked for you.  
 OP here. Thanks so much!  I started wearing my scapular daily back in the summer, glad I've done so. I'll do what you said and keep you all updated.

I did it again.  That's me!  Alexandria
OP, have you consecrated yourself to Our Lady yet?  If not, get the True Devotion book and do it.  
Stay as close as you can to Our Lady and beg Her to protect your purity.  You do your part too by practicing custody of the eyes.    If some female scantily clad happens to catch you unawares, do not, at any cost, look back.
I will keep you in my prayers, young man.  God be with you every step of the way, and may Our Blessed Mother protect you.

OP, if you get to teach in a secondary school it will be a nest of vipers.
Is this your choice to teach? 

If you are under your parents' authority you are bound to obey them. Once you no longer are under their authority, you can ask for their advice but are not bound to take it. Always you must respect them.

So attempt to prepare for independence asap, follow the wisdom of Stubborn and Alexandria and you cannot go wrong.

God will bless you!

How are you being forced? You have freewill.

Have you read St. Thomas Aquinas's story? His aristocratic mother wanted him to become a political leader, but St. Thomas wanted to become a Dominican. To try to dissuade him, his brothers locked him in a tower for a year, even hiring a prostitute to tempt him, whom he drove out with a fiery brand.

His Summa question on whether one needs his parents' permission to enter religious life (Summa Theologica II-II q. 189 a. 6) can be applied to your situation, too.
