That's not a 'run of the mill' offence, so it's hard to compare it with anything similar. Here's the document judges are obliged to refer to:
http://www.sentencing...inst-the%20person.pdf
It's the table on page 17 which is relevant. However the sentences there refer to a first-time offender convicted of a single offence after a trial. Your guilty plea can get a third knocked off those sentences but the multiple offences (and the fact that the victims were minors) will push the sentencing higher.

I'd guess at a sentence of around 2½ to 3 years imprisonment, of which half will actually be spent 'inside'.

will it make it any better if i say i was with friends
It might make it worse!

If you look at page 5 of that document you'll see that an aggravating factor (pushing the sentence higher) is "offenders operating in groups or gangs". It might be best to keep quiet about the others!
you see where you are going wrong is that you need to shoot kids with a rifle, rather than a gas gun
