So, my parents want me to go with them on holiday, but i don't want to go, because I don't like zo go with them on holidays anymore. I told them, but they still insist I have to go with them. They said to me that i am asocial and that i would be all the time in house and not outside,... They also said because of me we don't go anywhere, because I study too much on weekend (not true)... So, what should i do?

Go with them. I mean what is giving them a week of your time going to cost you?
To them paying a lot of money to take you on holiday is a lovely gesture, you're kind of being a bit ungrateful. Having said that, you don't specify WHY you don't want to go so badly?
I'd love to go on holiday right now.

Yeah man I agree with Clara. Time is so valuable because you can't get that back. It's one weekend. It may seem painful at that time but hey it's only 48-72 hours

Go for it.
i hate to burst your bubble, and I say this with no ill intent. But they're your parents. However old you are, you probably won't have them at your fingertips in five years. And if you're all still living under the same roof, you have a huge gift that a lot of kids your age would kill for.
You also didn't specify what you would do instead. If you actually do plan to stay home and jack around online or read or whatever for the vacation time (that's what they're called in the States), then it's probably good to get out of the house. You never learn to love new environments if you never try them.
You sound a lot like my sister. For the last three years, it's been like pulling teeth to get her to leave home. We've gone all over the place - Canada, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and a handful of places along the Gulf Coast. But she can't be bothered.
I don't know how well this describes you, but she's not the most social being ever. She has a solid group of like maybe 6-8 friends that she practically lives with (they wake each other up with a group FaceTime every morning), but aside from those girls, she will not talk to anyone. She hates everyone else. If other, more "popular" girls try to talk to her, she hisses at them and makes some sort of smartass, spiteful comments. She'd gotten detention for it, even. When she gets home, she spends the entire night, from 4pm to like 8pm, in front of her laptop in her room. She locks her door, and we have to call her phone to get her down for dinner. She refuses to try anything new. When my parents told us about our venture to Europe later this year, her first reaction was "I'm going to call (my friend) and ask if I can stay at her house that week. My parents bend over backwards to take us fun places, but she never wants to go.
But we always take her. She kicks and screams the whole way there, but once we get where we're going, she loves it. Away from her phone, she realizes that she MUST socialize. And we have a great time.
SOOO...
Go with your parents. No questions asked. You'll have fun.
