You should go. The change may do you some good. The way things are right now is definitely not good for your future. In the long run, you really need to keep your future in mind. Moving to another school does not mean you cannot be friends with your friends, but you really do need a more productive and safe environment.

Trust me, your parents are the one who will love you for no matter what. Who will be the one suffer the most if there is anything might happen to you, and who wil be there for you when you needed the most, but friends sometimes don't. What they are doing is for your own good and your future. You are still too young to know what true friends are? You sais"everytime they get into stuff, I get pulled in.." If they are true friends, then they watch out for each other by not dragged everyone into their messed. You have not been to the other side of the other society, behind the other so called jail, you don't kow what it like. It is not a simple and easy world that you gonna deal with... So pls, for your future stay away from what it might drag you and your future down. Your parent loves you, because I am a mom myself and my love for my children, there are no draw limit. If you are a nice kid. Friends will be everywhere for you. If your friend who you called" they are always there for me" then they will be there for you, no matter which school you decide to transfer. Think for youself before other dear.

Ok first off if you don't like where you are in life then yes you need to leave. I can tell you one thing that being surrounded by gang life and fighting all the time will not pay off in the end. If you don't think that you need to change then guess what no one can tell you what to do. You have to make your decisions yourself, but I say that you should probably go to the other high school.

I understand these friends are there for you all the time you need them and that is a wonderful feeling isn't it? But try to see that they are the ones that pull you to trouble all the time.Who wants friends that instead of making you shine or succeed...they put you in trouble?Look what they are doing to you now!!! YOU are the one who needs to be transferred to another school! not them!
So what kind of friends do you want on your side?.You sound like a very nice person.Work on staying that way. Surround yourself with positive people.Go to the new school.Write a new clean chapter in your life.

Try a different school.
Being someone's friend doesn't require you to do a dishonest or dishonorable action. Your first duty is to yourself, to be a good person. You always have the option to walk away from a fight, as do your friends. It's not "chickening out", it's being strong and brave enough to do what's right.

go. I know that you value your friends and all you've been through but it can be potentially dangerous for you. Even if you aren't a part of the gang, you can get into some serious trouble. Like you've said you get "pulled in" to things.Your parents know whats best for you.

You have to ask yourself this question ...Do I want to end up in Jail for the rest of my life?? Do I want to die at an early age??
if you chose not to go you could end up in that very situation. and I am being very direct here... you could also end up ruining your career for a further job down the road..
If you do not stop now you could end up in even more serious trouble.... or this could also escalate into even more serious crimes and you could end up on death row.
Please listen to your parents and go to the new school. they are doing this purely out of love because they care for you and want nothing but the best for you..

You should go and try to be in a better crowd at the new school. You don't want to end up in jail for something your friends did, do you?? You can always keep in touch but keep them at a distance so they don't try to pull you down with them.
