Boo is also locked up because he was a part of a gang, and because he had other bad ideas that he did. Boo never really did anything bad in the gang, the worst they did was drink whisky and run around at night and cause a little bit of trouble. Boo stabbed his dad in the leg with a scissors. His dad said that he will be locked up forever in their own makeshift prison that they keep Boo in for stabbing his dad. Boo’s dad didn’t send him into court because he was afraid they would send him into the insanity place. Boo’s house is an old house that everyone’s afraid of.

There are the popular kids, otherwise known as the cheerios, with their glamour and cars, the average school goers, and the lower echelon Freaks and Geeks, who are counting down the days until graduation. McKinley has a rigid cast system that went silently acknowledged by all that attended. The cheerios were hardly ever seen with others outside their own party and the rest followed this example. In fact the entire student body practically scrutinized or glorified every action by the cheerios, giving them an enormous amount of appeal and influence in the school.

Though he does not say, due to the segregated experience, he may have been denied on the premise of his color. So he traveled the dusty roads for many miles until he meets a girl named Josie, who sends him to a little school near her town.
