Why did sodapop and sandy break up?

24
Sodapop told Ponyboy he was sure he was going to marry Sandy. However, when she got pregnant, she left to go live with her grandmother in Florida. Soda later runs off, saying he hates being in the middle, and it makes him feel more worse because she left him, and he loved her so much.

Similarly, why was sodapop upset in Chapter 12? Darry and Ponyboy end up chasing after their brother, who eventually tells them that he is sick of their fighting. Sodapop runs out of the house to avoid witnessing another one of Darry and Pony's arguments. He is already upset about Sandy, and the fighting between his brothers pushes him over the edge.

Secondly, what happened with Sandy in the outsiders Chapter 7?

Ponyboy asks Sodapop about Sandy and learns that she got pregnant and moved to Florida. Her parents refused to let her marry Sodapop because of his age, so Sandy left to live with her grandmother. Sodapop and Darry go to work, and Two-Bit and Ponyboy go to get Cokes at the Tasty Freeze.

Why does sodapop drop out of school?
