Ponyboy is still a kid and sees the world with innocent eyes and everything is still new for him. Johnny wants him to stay like that while he can, to stay young and pure, because eventually, everybody grows up and doesn't have faith in the world, getting used to everything and only trusting yourself. When you're a kid, you believe in people and look for the good and everything is new to you. Johnny wants him to stay like that.

The "stay gold" speech in "The Outsiders" is given by Johnny to Ponyboy before he dies. Johnny tells Ponyboy to "stay gold" as a way to encourage him to hold onto his innocence and optimism despite the harsh realities of their lives. It serves as a reminder to Ponyboy to stay true to himself and to not let the troubles of the world harden his heart.
"There sure is a lot of blood in people." "I think I like it better when the old man's hittin me." "Say gold Ponyboy. Stay gold."
