Tryna Survive

I have about five months before I'm of to howard and im just tryna survive. with fightin these girls every other day to defend myself i dont think i will make it. me and my friends are always getting jumped out of cars on. these girl come with grown ladies and everything when we are just walking down the street. some people tell me dont fight u have a big future ahead of u but they dont understand the girls that i hang wit we been down wit each other since we were babies and now that we are all grown up im suppose to leave them hangin and i cant cause they wouldnt do that to me. se e all of them except me have cousins that are their age who live in chester but i dont. i am the only family i have that is my age everyone else is older (im 17) my best friend would never leave me to fight by myself eventhough i can handle mine we just dont roll like that but people think just cause she has a sister i suppose to fall back and i cant. I have about five months before im out of the city but it feels like everone is standing in my way. what should i do
