Should I Start my life over? help me plz?

I graduated high school in june. Im goin to college in the fall and workin in the fall too. But I cant live with here, i have to move because i feel if i keep livin here, im goin to end up messed up with drugs n stuff. I have found that there really arent friends. just people who abuse kindness. I feel the need to move away from drugs, "friends", and this community. Would this be a good idea? or what should i do?
