some one told me to be sure my reserved seat will be in front and told me the reason was the turbulence.

The farther away from the center of gravity, the greater the amplitude of the oscillations caused by air turbulence. If you want the least effect, sit near the front of the wing (the center of gravity is about 1/4 of the way back from the leading edge of the wing.)

Peter B has a good answer but remember, in a crash more people in the back survive than in the front and the fuel tanks are in the wings.

the wings are like the fulcrum of a lever and the back end is the weight. also you have the rudders in the back and whatever jolts the wings hit the elevators and rudder(s) will hit it also.
