Going to college immediately after HS was probably one of the worst decisions I've ever made.
This was true for me, too! If you're not committed fully to the idea of more school, do not go. You won't be giving it your all, and your grades will show it. I tried to go to college and write software for my startup idea at the same time. This resulted in an academic disaster that I had to later work very hard to recover from.
Pursue your startup idea. If it works out, you're better off^ than if you had gone to college. If it bombs, you can pick yourself up and go to college, and you'll be a better, more focused student by this time!
^If you still want to go to college for some reason after a successful startup, you can. It's a hell of a lot easier to study anything when you don't have bills to pay. Just don't get into debt of any kind pursuing your startup. If this means living with your parents, so be it. You'll find out quickly enough is people want your thing enough to pay for it.
