Randy explains his dilemma during his conversation with Ponyboy:

He can either skip the rumble and lose respect among his friends, the Socs whom he feels distanced from since he started reflecting on the violence and its effects more seriously or he can attend the rumble to keep his status despite his newfound view on the conflict and its futility. Either way, he says, he can't win. He wishes that he could just run away without it having a negative impact.

This translates to the reader because Randy isn't alone in encountering pointless lose-lose situations as most high school conflicts are.

What else can I help you with?
