parents wont let me grow up?

I am currently 17 turning 18 this year my parents have never let me get a job even though I've been asking since I turn 16 I can drive but they never see to it that I go get my license so I've never had any sense of having anything on my own. my parents are very against me moving out and every time I bring it up they get very upset or emotional and trying to tell me that they will die if I leave. I do have a college fund and studying abroad is some thing I've always wanted to do and when I brought it up to my parents they were crying because they don't want me to leave home. I want to have a sense of self for my parents I feel like are emotionally manipulating me and I would feel guilty if I move out but I know that I need to.
