I taught it in Los Angeles to 7th-8th graders from 2009-2016. It wasn't a problem. Most of the kids seemed to like it.

When I read it as an adult, the first thing I noticed is how many times Darry shoves his fists into his pockets. He's doing his best to hide his emotions. And of course, Pony is a very unreliable narrator when it comes to Darry.
