Could it be?

For the past year now I have been having problems falling asleep. I was a senior in high school this year and I never fell asleep before 2 or 3 every night, knowing I had to get up at 6:00 the next morning for basketball. When that dreadful time came my parents fought to get me out of bed, continually complaining about me needing to go to bed earlier to so I'm not so hard to wake up. When they would try to wake me up I would ask for more time or speak to them without even knowing that I did it until once I was completely awake usually 15 to 20 minutes from the start time of them trying to wake me. This went on throughout my whole senior year. And because of this, my grades dropped. I went from making high A's to making low B's and C's. My parents never understood what was wrong with me. Complaining that I'm lazy and didn't try, even though I honestly did. I would constantly begin to doze off during class, which was something I never did before this year. But by the time my school day was over I would sleep until I had to work, and when I would get home I would stay up late, then start my routine all over again.
Now It's the end of the summer after graduating and I have had a summer job where I worked 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I was waking up at 6:50 a.m. trying and trying to make it in time while having to get ready and make a 15 min. drive to work.
I am getting so tired of having this happen consistently. I am tired of being called lazy, and being yelled at by my parents to go to bed earlier. I am about to start college in a few weeks and I googled sleeping disorders and came upon the delayed sleep phase syndrome. I read symptoms and stories, and this sounds a lot like what I am going though. What should I do to help what I'm going through? Is there anything that I really can do about this? This is really starting to get to me emotionally and physically.
Until I start college in two weeks I am trying to enjoy my last few weeks of summer. It's 6:29 in the morning and I am still not tired. I am about to go through the same routine I have been for the past week. Which is my mom waking for work, and yelling at me to go to bed and that I can't sleep all day like I usually do. Should I go to a doctor?
