He had no idea how they'd react, and he was so scared. He knew they'd probably tell him to be grateful, since people had it worse then him, but he couldn't help but feel upset. Curtis could no longer ignore that their youngest wasn't okay. They tried to act as if everything was fine, but Ponyboy stayed in his bed most of the time, and didn't take showers for weeks at a time. He no longer spent time with anyone and just seemed overall depressed.
One day, during dinner, everybody—the Curtis' and the gang—had all been gathered around the kitchen, since there wasn't enough room at the table. Ponyboy silently sat there, barely eating. His mind was elsewhere so he hadn't noticed his parents and brothers looking at him with worried expressions.
Ponyboy wasn't paying attention, though. He was thinking about all the reasons he cut himself. He was thinking about how his classmates discriminated against him since he was younger than them and how people didn't really like him and thought he was annoying. A few memories that kept popping up that he thought about often were times were a kid he knew kept moaning in his ear, even though Ponyboy had told him to stop.
The kid then continously asked Ponyboy if he wanted to see him naked, to which Ponyboy refused. Another instance he thought about with a different kid was when he was walking, one day, fifth or sixth grade, maybe, when he felt somebody smack his behind.
He felt himself blushing as he turned to see a guy he often hung out with, Caleb. He felt so embarrassed and he knew it wasn't really a big deal but those two instances couldn't help but make Ponyboy feel as if though he was He hated his classmates for it and it pissed him off.
He knew all those reasons he hurt himself were dumb, but he felt as if though it was his fault. He should've made it clear that he didn't like it. Just like he should've said "no" to the girl who kept asking him out this year. Darrel Sr. The gang watched silently, at they knew what was going on. You've barely eaten anything in the past hour.

Tulsa, Oklahoma, Fourteen-year-old Ponyboy Curtis is the youngest of three orphaned brothers who live on the north side of town, the "wrong side" of the tracks. Sensitive Ponyboy used to have a good relationship with his oldest brother Darrel, but since Darrel became the household caregiver, he is always on Ponyboy's case.
Caught in the middle is third brother Sodapop, who dropped out of school to work full time. They all belong to The Greasers, a gang of boys from the north side also from working class families, often broken.
Ponyboy's main concern is that any problem they may encounter, especially in their Greaser activities, will lead to the authorities splitting up their family. He also believes Darrel would have outgrown them and become something in his life if it wasn't for his loyalty to the gang, and the need to take care of the family.
The rest of the world sees the Greasers as all the same, the face being Dallas Winston, the most volatile one who has just been released from prison, despite each boy having his own specific view of life.
Similarly, the world sees the Socs, the Greasers' primary rivals, as all the same, rich spoiled entitled boys with a sense of superiority from the south side of town, despite again each boy being his own person.
A connection between the two gangs happens in the form of Ponyboy and Cherry Valance, which doesn't sit well with Cherry's Soc boyfriend, Bob Sheldon. As a result, an incident occurs involving the Socs, Ponyboy and fellow Greaser, sixteen-year-old Johnny Cade, an equally sensitive boy who wants a better life for himself, but seems stuck in a downward spiral with parents who don't give him the time of day.
Beyond Ponyboy and Johnny's lives being threatened by that incident, the Greasers and the Socs agree to a rumble to settle things once and for all. Some of the boys realize the rumble will accomplish nothing, with the questions being if they can convince their colleagues of the same, and if not what the consequences will be.
