Why did Sodapop drop out of high school and why does Darry worry about Ponyboy more than Sodapop?I just wanted to know because i didnt understand...

Sodapop, Ponyboy and Darry are the three handsome Curtis brothers in Susan Hinton's teen novel "The Outsiders." Sodapop drops out of high school when his greaser girlfriend Sandy gets pregnant. He finds out that the father is another girl, but he wants to marry her anyway; she ends up moving to Florida. He winds up working in a gas station with his best friend, fellow greaser Steve Randle. Darry worries about Pony more than Soda because he is younger and has no common sense. Additionally, he fears that his involvement in the greaser lifestyle will get him killed, just like the Curtis's parents, who died in a car accident. Darry cannot stand the thought of losing his younger brother.
