In the novel the Outsiders by S.E. Hention the reader is introduced to two groups of teen groups the Greasers and the Socs. both groups fight for respect and their own territory. The social group that has it worse off is the greasers because they are poor, they don't have families that care about them, and to work have at an early age. The first reason the Greasers have it worse off is because they don't have a lot of money so they don't get the same opportunities as the Socs do. for example Darry, “We just didn't have the money for him to go to college, even with the athletic scholarship he won.” The Socs don't have to wonder or stress about whether or not they will go to college due to the amount of money and opportunities they have.
