Would you let a fourteen year old smoke, fight, and hang around criminals? I strongly believe Ponyboy should go into the system because Darry is not a fit guardian. He doesn’t watch Ponyboy very well and let’s him get into fights. Ponyboy often takes numerous pills without Darry noticing and takes Ponyboy to rumbles. Darry should be watching Ponyboy while he takes medication and shouldn’t encourage violence. Others could say it isn’t possible for Darry to watch him every second of the day, and that he did give Ponyboy the option not to fight. Ponyboy would be better off in the system because he would be away from all the chaos and would have stronger adult supervision. Ponyboy should enter the system so that he is away all the brutality currently
