My parents think they did something wrong while I grew up just because I'm gay

I'm actually a smart intellectual trying my best in life :cry2:

I'm sorry to hear that. All you can do is to prove that you are staying true with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you, that none of anyone's fault. All I can say is good luck, you are the one who hold your life and make sure you do thing right to make it worth as your dream :love:. Someone says: " You're perfect the way you are. " and I think you're too.
Ps: If my Grammar isn't right, please forgive me.

You don't mention what may have led your parents to this way of thinking, but if it's deeply held (possibly fundamentalist) religious beliefs, there's precious little you can do.
Whatever the cause, your parents' narrow thinking is certainly unfortunate, and I hope you were/are able to live a life not under their roof. Many LGBT young people find it easier to "move on" with the help of social or support groups – browse the Internet for organizations in your area.
You can always write your parents and let them know you're willing to make an effort to bridge the gap, but only if they come in with an open mind. And if they refuse, then refocus away from these things that won't change, to the goals you're setting for your bright future, cutting loose from their negativity. That's their problem to carry – not yours.

You just need to educate them. Don't be too hard, they just need to catch up.
Find out how they like to learn (documentary, leaflet, book) and help them find the source. They probably don't know any other gay people. When they do, they'll realise it's not how they see it.
