Explain why Ponyboy rather have someone's hate than their pity?

Pity means that someone feels sorry for you.... Ponyboy didn't want anyone looking down and feeling sorry for him. He rather they'd hate him than pity him.
I hoped they hated us, that they weren't full of that pity-the-victims-of environment junk the social workers kept handing Curly Shepard every time he got sent off to reform school. I'd rather have anybody's hate than their pity.
