In addition to waiting several years for a new green card process to progress to completion, the petition may prevent you from obtaining a student visa.
Sad...but thanks a lot.
How about this then: My mom, or one of my siblings, sponsors my dad and I become an "unmarried over-21" child on his application.
I have a quick question. So if a USC petitioned for both his parents or one of them, does this mean that all unmarried siblings under 21 will be automatically included in the application and will get green cards in couple of months? Thanks

NO! All "immediate relatives of a USC" require an individual I-130. NOBODY rides on these petitions. ONLY "preference" visa petitions include others dependents.
I've heard this from others but I thought it was hearsay. Is this a guess or is there a factual legal basis for this statement?In addition to waiting several years for a new green card process to progress to completion, the petition may prevent you from obtaining a student visa.

It's not a guess, it's actually happened to people.
A student visa requires that you don't have the intent to immigrate. The immigrant petition contradicts that.
However, you can still get a student visa if you are able to convince them that you'll leave the US when your studies are up and then wait for the green card outside the US. If you have a long history of traveling in and out of the US without overstaying, you have a better chance of convincing them.
