What does Cherry tell Ponyboy in defense of the Socs?

Cherry tells Ponyboy two specific things in defense of the
Socs, and they are related
to each other. One thing that she tells Ponyboy is
that the Greasers are not unique in having
problems and rough lives. Cherry
tells Ponyboy that the Socs don't necessarily have easy lives,
eitherthey
have problems too. What is amazing is that Ponyboy believes her.



"I'll bet you think the Socs have it made. The rich kids,
the
West-side Socs. I'll tell you something, Ponyboy, and it may come as a
surprise. We have
troubles you've never even heard of. You want to know
something?" She looked me straight in
the eye. "Things are rough all
over."


"I believe
you," I said.


Cherry also explains to Ponyboy what
it is that
she believes the Socs struggle with most of all. The Socs are
kids...
