is it normal for parents to take it personal if you want to go 2 college outta state?

<p>^^^That's an important piece of information. I can understand why the OP wants to go. But choose a place FOR YOU ... don't just "get away." You have a lot of time, so just concentrate on doing well in school for now. You can leaf through college books at the library or Borders in the meantime. Good luck.</p>
