Once you make your decision, you are going to tread telling your parents, but you're going to get through it. Even if your parents yell and get super mad don’t let that influence you. Don’t let your guilt of leaving your friends and family behind because there are ways to keep in touch. Also when you leave, you will be very nervous but remember to stay open minded because it's different from what you are used
