In "The Outsiders," the Socs and the Greasers both feel the need to keep a certain image. Secondly, members of both groups seem to have aspirations and desires beyond their group image but the pressure to stay within the group is too large to break. Thirdly, parents are absent, uncaring, or just plain horrible parents to both groups of teens. A fourth similarity is that both groups have to face stereotypes from those outside their group. Finally, both groups are just teenagers trying to group up and as S.E. Hinton writes "things are tough all over."
