What does things are rough all over mean?

Things are rough all over simply means that everyone has problems; the Socs, the greasers, everyone. For example, greasers have to worry about getting attacked by Socs every day and all about money. The Socs have problems that the greasers don't even think of: always getting what you want and never being told no, never feeling everything and always being behind a wall of aloofness, and more. What Cherry is trying to show Ponyboy with this quote is that even though the Socs seem to have everything they want, they have possibly bigger and worse other problems than the greasers realized. Once Ponyboy begins to gain this knowledge, he realizes that it is really the guy in the middle who has it best.
