I feel like I'm going to go insane. I want to pass these classes so badly, but can't study. I live at home and they talk way too much! I put on classical music and sometimes they come in, "ohh is that classical music?" Leave me alone... o_O They want me to fail classes so I can never have a life of my own I think x.x I know it's not true but it feels like it! I don't know where to study except the silent part of the library, but then I end up forgetting something cuz it's not "my personal desk" :( Please help... I know there's a lot of smart people here :)

Have you tried to explain this to your parents? Maybe they're simply not aware of what they're doing to you. You may have to do it multiple times. Research shows that you have to convince a person on average seven times before it sticks.
Otherwise, headphones may help. At least your parents won't know that you're listening to the music, let alone what kind. I've used headphones for years for this purpose. Recently my parents were surprised to find out that I understand a lot about music, recognize songs, etc. "But you've never even listened to music", they say. So headphones do work.
A library is actually a good idea too. I didn't quite understand the part about forgetting something, though. Do you forget to bring something, or do you leave something behind?

I completely understand where you are coming from, i'm currently studying for my final exams and trying to get some time on my own to do so is not easy. I'd try telling your parents when you are going to study so that they know not to bother you. The headphones idea is really good, because it blocks out other noises and as mentioned your parents won't be able to hear it. If you have trouble remembering what to take to the library, write a list. Think of hat you have to study and what resources you need to do so, write it down so you can't forget anything, by only having what you need with you you'll also cut down your procrastination time which is always a good thing :).

^Foam ear plugs. You roll them in between your fingers, insert and they'll expand inside your ear.

I would die without them!! My house is insanely loud and it's impossible to read or hear my own thoughts without them.

I also use them to sleep. I hate being woke up early in the morning by yelling.
