Because Ponyboy fancies uncommon things such as sunsets, books, and movies. He has a, or to say, "good" support system with Darry and Sodapop always looking out for him.
Oh, dude, Ponyboy actually says that Darry doesn't love him on page 88 of "The Outsiders." It's like a real heart-to-heart moment, you know? But hey, who needs love when you've got a gang of greasers looking out for you, right?

Either Ponyboy and/or Darry. Ponyboy is smart and can get out of the environment that he is in if he chooses to and he will if his brothers have any say in that. Darry is the same way, but since he has to and wants to care for his brothers he is stuck for the time being. Once his brothers are of age and can take care of themselves then he could do it. Also if the Curtis parents were still alive then there would have no doubt that Darry could have gotten out.
He wants to turn himself in because it isn't fair for Sodapop and Darry to be worrying about Ponyboy and Cherry Valence said that she would testify against the socs and say that they were drunk and Johnny and Ponyboy acted in self defence
he doesn't call the police because then the two of them ( as in sodapop and Pony boy who are both younger then 18) would get put in a boys home. They would think that darry couldn't deal with the responsibility of having two kids at home and would take themm away.
