Re: Help i am frustrated!

Obedience to God trumps obedience to your parents. Baptism is a command of the Lord for all believers. But your attitude toward your parents should be one of respect and not defiance.

If I was in your place, by the grace of God, I would prayerfully tell my parents that I was going to be baptized and why. I would also ask them to be there because it would mean a lot for me to have them there. I would let them know how much I love them but that I love God more.
