Do you think Johnny was serious when he said he might kill himself (page 47)? If so, why didn't he? What reasons does Johnny have to consider suicide?

I definitely don’t think Johnny was joking around when he mentioned suicide. He lives in an abusive home and is now on the run for murder. Also, he is traumatized from when he was jumped by the Socs. Johnny didn’t kill himself, I think, because he could tell that the idea was upsetting to Ponyboy, and he cares for him too much to hurt him.
