It's your parent's decision to make for whatever reasons they choose. They may not be able to afford the trip even with fundraisers to help defray the costs. You need to accept whatever decision they make and move on.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you'll never get to travel. I was out of college before starting to travel and have made it to over 60 countries so far and even lived in Italy for almost 14 years. Make travel a long term goal and plan toward it.

Start saving when you can. Think about a program in college that will allow you a semester or year abroad to study. Put aside savings for travel when you graduate.

It's okay to be disappointed if you can't make this trip, but getting mad or upset won't help. Use this as incentive to make it on a trip sometime in the future.

If they can't afford it, they can't afford it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
