How to convince my parents to let me drop AP Calculus AB?

I am a Senior in school who is doing well in all classes except for AP Calculus AB. I am passing Calculus, but have a C in that class, while the rest of my grades are mostly A s with one B+. Calculus is the only AP class I m taking this year and told my parents that Calculus is stressing me out and is a little too much for me right now, but they were saying that taking that class would help me a lot in the long run and prepare me for college. Since I m a Senior in high school, I feel that I need to relax some, as the rest of my classes are pretty easy other than Calculus. My parents, Calculus teacher, and counselor know that I m trying and understand that it s a challenging class. My Calculus teacher and counselor are ready to let me drop that class, but my parents are iffy on that choice. Please tell me know I could convince my parents to let me drop AP Calculus AB. Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

Update:

*Mostly A's with one B+

Update 2:

Also, dropping Calculus would improve my GPA and I have all my math credits left. In fact, I just need two more credits to graduate high school, which are English 4 and Government/Economics, which are courses I am taking this year. Another reason why my parents are iffy on dropping Calculus is because that's the only AP class I'm in this year, so they think that it would help me get used to college, but this is my life and future and Calculus is not required for my prospective college major.

Update 3:

I'm a Senior in high school

    My best advice for you is to not drop AP Calculus AB. 

    My sister attended a private, all-girls high school in Pennsylvania. During her senior year of high school, she took 3 AP courses, including AP Calculus AB (and she got an A in this course), and worked during the weekends. In addition, she made it on the junior varsity football team of the local public high school in South Jersey, got inducted to the National Honor Society, and scored a perfect 5 on the AP Calculus AB exam.
