Is this serious? Come on, don't freak out, there are plenty of ways to pay for college.
How about applying for a couple of local scholarships? My Dad's employer had a couple of scholarships that I applied for and received, and I also got a small scholarship by applying to one listed on the university's website. There are work study programs or you can get a Federal loan.
I worked a couple of student programmer and computer lab proctor jobs on campus to pay my rent. They were low stress, I could study on the job, and I even learned some programming. There are many options. Hell, I hear there are actually some people that "work" and "save up" to go to college. I've even heard there are some people that are successful without gasp going to college at all. Maybe you could build something that people here want and they'd be willing to buy something from you, but straight up begging seems silly and pointless.
Anyway, I'm just saying, you sound like you are freaking out (or making this whole thing up). Most of my friends didn't have help from their parents, but they were still able to get a high quality education at Univ. of Texas through some hard work, not begging random people on the Internet.
