I too live in a society where parents disciplining their children is accepted, BUT to a certain extent that is.
I too do understand the feeling of having a dream, that has always made you move forward, to always get back on your feet whenever you fall, and to achieve something really big.
I understand your instict to fight back. I would if I'm in your place.
However, with all that you've taken from your parents, don't you think you should talk to someone you really trusted on this? get help maybe?
Maybe now, your parents do not understand your dreams. One day, when you've fulfilled your dream, even without your parent's approval, I just want to say, don't hate them.
They just don't see the dream that you see.
*inhales*
i think I'm speaking nonsence here, but never lose hope. Maybe one day, they'll understand you, and your dreams.
I'm so sorry you have to endure this. It is never right for parents to beat their children. I had to go through this as well, but I never got punched by my mother. There is a line, and I think frankly that your parents have crossed it. So good on you for standing up for yourself. Good on you for showing that it's not right and that you are strong enough to say no

Thank you so much >I wasn't expecting anyone to comment on this - it's a pretty long rant, and no one knows me on this LJ account, so I guess I thought no one would really bother to read

Hey...i know that this is a pretty late comment, since you've updated already, but maybe you'll get this anyway... I'm sorry that your parents beat you, even if it's hard for me to comprehend. I've never been beaten by my parents, but i know that if they EVER touched me in a way that i didn't like, or slapped me, I'd fight right back. There's nothing wrong with standing up for your beliefs or not apologizing, if that's what you feel is right. However, i can understand your need to be free from your parents and country; to feel independent. I've always dreamed of going to school in Japan, Korea, New Zealand, or Australia (I live in the USA). Well....ok, I've dreamed of traveling the whole world, but living at a university in those countries is at the top of my list.
Fight for what you believe in, and i hope your parents relent, so that you can go to Cambridge.
