We can not force others to stop doing wrong. We should try our best to make them stop harming the animals, but we can not force them. After trying our best, we will not be responsible of what others do.

Your parents cannot force you to marry anyone. Islamically, it will not be a valid nikah marriage as well. 

If they are threatening you with such things like not funding your education, then let it be, but you should not give in to marrying someone you do not wish to marry. 

Speak to an elder in your family, or your local scholar, so they are able to address this with your parents, as long as you are safe. If you feel unsafe, then you must make measures to secure your safety. 

This kind of behaviour from parents is completely unacceptable, oppressive, and anyone around you who knows of it must help you.

If the rejection of the girl is not based in a valid reason in Islam, and the girl needs the marriage to save herself from falling in to sin, she will be then allowed to get married to a suitable Momin man whom she trusts in his faith and morals.

In lot of cases, parents have certain standards and expectations for their children, in which at times are different to the child, and I strongly believe parents should support their son/daughter in the field they are passionate in and interested in pursuing, and should encourage, as long as it is halal, honourable and ambitious. 

If it is causing you distress, and you do not think you can pursue it, then be frank with them, and try to convince them of your area of interest. In shaa Allah they will understand you and support you. 

The important thing is you always try to make yourself and your family proud, in being a high achiever.
