Good choice, it is not a good place for a Catholic girl, and I am very supprised that you have made this decision, because most girls your age is not very strong in the faith, I am very sorry that your parents dont understand about your decision. I cant really give you any advice about how to inform your parents and convince them not to let you go. Just sit down and talk to them one on one, or make up a list of reasons of why it would be bad for you to go.
May the Holy Spirit be with you
