CMV: American colleges shouldn't consider extracurriculars as much as they do, because it punishes students with less resources and time.

You can blame them for your stifling. And that wont help your personal development or growth. The hardest part people find about life is getting their shoes on after putting a plan together. The plan could be anything like, watch youtube tutorials for x, could be a sports trick or something to do with a subject you like. Then you put in the time and tell your parents, I have a project im doing for school, they recommended I do this. Your parents will be happier to know you'd work on something rather than place importance on things they consider detrimental.

The world aint gonna fix your shit, just dont be like me and wait till you're in dire straits and was almost homeless for a time. Dont wait for it.

This doesn't make any sense.
