[ Adolescent ] Open Question : I got attacked by 3 girls last night do I report it...?

Im 19 and last night 3 girls (who happen to be sisters) randomly ran up behind me and attacked me while i was walking to my boyfriends, punching my head and face at least 20 times and pulling my hair.. I ended up going hospital because I was in so much pain. I have woken up to a big bruise across my cheek bone. I know the girls, they live on my boyfriends road, and they have always had a problem with me for some reason, but didn't think they had a problem that big.... I rang the police and they are going to come to my house later on today and said over the phone that they will arrest them if thats what i want.. Thing is, these girls are all mental in the head.... My mum thinks I shouldn't get them arrested because they know where I live and it could make them want to come after me even more.... Which wouldnt suprise me if they did... When i say they are mental i seriously mean they are mental like crazy... They even got their dad round my boyfriends to beat him up with a bat last night... Which my boyfriend reported but police said they cant do anything about that. And one of them smashed my boyfriends car window a few months ago. What is the best thing to do?

 

[ Music & Music Players ] Open Question : If I restore my iTunes folder, will I have to re-sync my iDevices?

I'm planning on restoring my MacBook for a fresh start, and am wondering if it will make me restore my iPhone and iPad too? My iTunes folder is in a dropbox folder, so it is synced to the cloud and can be retrieved exactly as it were. Will this be enough to make my phone recognise it's the same computer, and not erase everything to sync it back? Thanks!
