Greasers, as depicted in S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders," often refrain from crying in front of strangers because they prioritize toughness and emotional stoicism as a means of protecting their image and vulnerability. Showing emotions, particularly in a tough environment, can be seen as a sign of weakness that may invite ridicule or further conflict. Additionally, their tough exterior serves to maintain solidarity within their group and to uphold the social expectations of their subculture.
