bad
He meant that he cannot stop living even if he lost Johnny, his close friend. He knew that Ponyboy is smart and he could get into college if he worked hard or else he would trash like them.
If Darry didn't have to take on two jobs he could have gone to college. He works to support his brothers. He was a decent student in school, and great football player. Being a greaser means that your poor. If you go to college on a scholarship you're not viewed as the poor kid. He would have been the talented guy that made something of himself. If Darry went to college he could have gotten a career and had the money to consider himself a "soc."
When Darry says " you don't just stop living because you lose someone" I think that he means that when you loose someone you have to keep going on with your life, you can't end your life because someone you care for dies. Life just has to go on. This is what I think Darry means when he tells Ponyboy " you don't just stop living because you loose someone." --
Ponyboy had described Sodapop as a person who understands everyone very well. He also said that Sodapop can possibly cheer you up with his grin. And of course, Ponyboy said that Sodapop is the movie-star kind of handsome, which means that he's very, very handsome. Hopes this helps!
*contains spoilers* When Ponyboy says he lies to himself all the time, he means that, although he knows the truth, he tells himself differently. If he tells himself what he wants to believe, he will begin to believe it more and it subconsciously brings him comfort. Ponyboy uses this reference when saying he doesn't care about Darry and the way Darry treats him. Although it's only implied, Ponyboy also lies to himself after Johnny dies. Ponyboy convinces himself that he's the one who killed Bob and that Johnny isn't dead. It provides some comfort for Ponyboy to just put all the traumatic events he's experienced out of his mind.

Two-Bit means that Darry's responsibilities and commitment to taking care of his younger brothers, Ponyboy and Sodapop, is the only thing keeping him from being more like the wealthy, privileged "Soc" group. Darry sacrifices his own desires and opportunities in order to provide for his family, which sets him apart from the typical Soc lifestyle.
I personally think Johnny's last words "Stay gold Pony, stay gold." meant that he didn't want Ponyboy to change or to harden up like Dally or Darry. He wanted him to stay the way he was.

It all started with Darry (Daryl). If Darry hadn't slapped Ponyboy, pony and Johnny wouldn't have ran to the park and the Socials wouldn't have come, nobody would've been stabbed, and if no one was stabbed, Pony and Johnny would have never come in contact with the abandoned church which means they wouldn't have been there to help when the church was on fire (or let the church go on fire), so Johnny would have never died, and Dally (Dallas) wouldn't have gone over the deep end. Yet that is just like saying if Ponyboy hadn't dozed off and missed his curfew, Darry would not have slapped him so there is no valid source.
He was telling Ponyboy that he was a good person, and advising him to stay that way.
He say Stay Gold because gold in the poem by Jack Frost represents how everything can be pure and good and he wants Pony to always be like that. It meant that he shouldn't change and be like a normal greaser, and to stay gold and become something different.
He means its not fair
