His brothers Darry and Soda get worried that he is out past his curfew and Darry got mad at Ponyboy and hit him after Soda was sticking up for Ponyboy and then Darry started to yell at Soda and then Ponyboy started yelling at Darry for yelling at Soda and after that was when Darry hit Ponyboy.
Ponyboy lost his parents, as we all know, but he had to move on not only to heal but to get on with the rest of his life. Darry told Ponyboy that because Pony has to overcome losing someone close to him again, but Ponyboy was not doing that.
Oh, dude, after the fire, Darry tells Ponyboy that he's a "hood," which is like slang for a troublemaker or a delinquent. Darry is just looking out for Ponyboy, like a big brother should, trying to keep him on the straight and narrow. So yeah, basically, Darry's just dropping some truth bombs on Ponyboy to keep him in line.
He begins to think that none of the guys in his gang should be there, fighting like hoods in the night.He's afraid he and his gang will end up hoods.Pony can "feel their hatred" [between Darry and Paul] even though they used to be friends.Pony has stopped hating the Socs, and wants Socs and Greasers to all stop despising each other.
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.

Darry never went to college because afterponyboy, sodapop, & darry's parents get killed by a drunk driver, he has to stop his dreams of going to college with his friends & he never got to use his scholarship to college.& ended up having to grow up really fast & start working 2 jobs to keep pony, & soda together & has to watch out for them & make sure ponyboy & sodapop don't get taken away from him and sent to a reformatory school for all boys'!

Soda runs out because he is sick and tired of all the fighting. He understands both sides and loves each of his brothers equally, but he feels as if they are trying to make him take sides and he can't do that. He tells Darry to stop being so hard on Ponyboy and he tells pony to use his head, he makes them agree to stop fighting and they do, then they hug, and then they go home.(Read the book and watch the movie, they will help and are totally awesome! Johnny is so hot!)
You just don't stop living when you loose someone
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." --
Randy and Ponyboy discuss how their labels of 'greaser' and 'Soc' does not affect how each of them would have reacted in the fire situation.
In chapter 3 of "The Outsider," Meursault attends the funeral of his mother. He exhibits a detached and unemotional response to her death, which begins to reveal his unusual perspective on life and relationships.
A world without fighting between the greasers and Socs.
