I'm going to not apply for college placements and lie to my parents
Why would you lie about this?
I don't want to tell them, they would think I'm a fool.
You don't have to go to college. You can be honest with them about it.
I want to go to college. I just don't feel like applying for them and think I should still be able to go.
You do realize you can't go to college without applying right? If you need help you could ask your parents or go to the school resource office and they can help you fill out forms there.
