it means to stay who you are and don't change
There is no Johnny Curtis, there is Johnny Cade and the 3 Curtis boys: Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry.
After everything that has happened in the story Ponyboy finds a note from Johnny, that he had dictated to his nurse, in his copy if "Gone with the Wind". Johnny tells Ponyboy to "stay golden" refering to their previous conversations. This inspires Ponyboy to write his theme for English about all that has hardened to him in the last weeks. We then find out that the whole story was his theme.

Johnny was intelligent in a sense that he saw the world as it truly was. He had analyzed the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" and figured that Ponyboy was what was golden. Also, He was the only thing that Dally loved, his only weakness.

http://www.enotes.com/outsiders/q-and-a/why-title-book-quot-outsiders-quot-24395The title of the book refers to the social position of the Greasers, Ponyboy's "gang". Handicapped by their lower socio-economic status, the Greasers are looked down upon; shut out from the advantages that are open to their more wealthy counterparts, the Socs. Although members of both groups get in trouble - the Socs "jump Greasers and wreck houses and throw beer blasts for kicks", while the Greasers "steal things...and rob gas stations and have a gang fight once in awhile" - the Greasers are more frequently identified by their transgressions against the law because they come from "the wrong side of the tracks". They are the "outsiders", the ones for whom access to opportunity is perpetually more complicated, because of preconceptions and stereotypes (Chapter 1).One of the central themes of the story, however, is that, underneath it all, the Greasers and the Socs are more alike than they are different. As Cherry Valance observes to Ponyboy, "things are tough all over", and, after talking with her, Ponyboy realizes that there are individual differences within both groups, and, despite the gulf that separates the classes, they all "see the same sunset" (Chapter 2).Sources:http://www.enotes.com/outsiders/themes
