Two things:

You don't need to persuade your parents to do anything. If you truly think you can start a business, then you can do that on your own.

Secondly, "starting a business" is easy - the question is: can you make that business thrive? Take it from a guy who runs four of them and is only 18 years old - you don't know what you're getting yourself into when you turn your back on college as a "job enabler." College is, in essence, financial insurance; it helps you to ensure that you will be able to find stable income should your business fail.
