I am trying to be a pvper, but it seems to me that I am just awful at it for some reason. The other people that I roam around with all seem to know exactly what is going on and what to do at all times. I can't do this. The last two times I have tried to pvp in a battlecruiser I have been popped by better ships. (I have only ever tried to pvp in battlecruisers twice). Should I just stay in safe areas ratting and training skills until I can get into either a nano so no one can touch me or a battleship? because battlecruisers and everything without either crazy fast speed or something like a battleship will get killed, or am I just not cut out for pvp and should i go be a carebear?
Short answer: Stop trying to PvP in battlecruisers.
Start out with frigates.

Good advice
I'd just add a 4th component to your required gang, and it's especially important to mention because it's very accessible for new players:

1) Scout(s) - Knowing what is going on around you is key - it's no good engaging someone without knowing what (if any) backup the target has. Covert ops, Interceptors and Covert recons all qualify as decent scouting ships.
2) Tackle - The scout can often provide this service too, or you can have a few dedicated tackling ships - these will be fast ships able to intercept and warp scramble the target (and web too if need be). Whatever damage these ships can provide is a bonus, but plays second fiddle to locking down the target
3) Damage - Exactly what it says - these are the bruisers you warp in at optimal ranges to do the bizz.
4) Electronic Warfare.

Yassir-
From this thread, an enemy of YTMND can gleem a great deal of information that you have wrecklessly provided.
The reason you lost your ferox (as you have neglected to mention) was that you were not where you should have been. You were in a fleet, the FC gave you an order and you either did not hear it or did not heed it. If that typhoon had not popped you then I am sure one of the many many many other enemy ships that were fleeing the fight would have. Perhaps if you would like to become better at pvping- You should do less talking and more listening.
This thread is hereby concluded.
See me after class.
