story of the Outsiders. So many characters dealt with fathers beating them‚ mothers turning a blind eye‚ whether it was from sheer will or from drug abuse. The “Greasers” and the “Socs” both had to deal with parents abandoning them‚ being neglected‚ and not having parents there when their own children needed them most.
