how am i supposed to get the money?
can someone explain about the painments and loans?
how much the food costs?
so ill be able to explain to my parents and will look like responsible person that care about the money:p
I'm not sure.
Maybe promise to earn the money yourself, or if you do get their help in paying, promise to pay it back as you get a job when your older? Also, you need to find a way to support yourself with food and all that while you're there, so make sure you know exactly how it's going to go down. Then maybe, your parents will listen and help you. If not, I'm not sure how old you are, but, depending on that, you might just have to live without that.

I don't really like people.
Nor do I really agree with society.
Depends on your age. If you've got a year or two, to help reduce the cost you should get a job of some sort, or earn some money. The more the better.
If you receive any money you should save it. That means don't buy any video games, of anything else you don't absolutely need. Also, if you can you'll get some money from scholarships and from your graduation party (so make sure you invite everyone).
That's not going to help enough though. Best thing is probably to find a college you can afford. I currently attend a college that would cost ~48000-52000, but would like to transfer to one that will cost 70000 or so, and to pay for that I plan on working on a farm which will make me a lot of money.
You'll be taking student loans out too. So make sure you don't become a Social Worker, because they're pretty much slaves.

Have you talked to the counselors or stuff at your school? It should probably have someone who knows more so about this and helping teens get into college, how much it costs, etc. they understand it all.
From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.
Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.
With a gentle warm heart and a will of stone, We'll never be apart, You'll never be alone. - John <3
The most practical advice I can give you at this point, is to save your money, get good grades, and apply to every scholarship you can. There are some scholarships you can be awarded in your sophomore and junior year.
