Claire mentions peer pressure to go along with what her friends want to do: at the start of the film, Claire's father stated through dialogue that she is in detention due to skipping school to go shopping. Brian left a flare gun in his locker, which went off accidentally, that he planned to use to commit suicide after getting an F in shop class. Andrew taped another student's buttocks together using athletic tape because he felt he had not "cut loose" on anyone in high school like his domineering father had. They all realize that, despite their differences, they face similar problems.Įach student then confesses why they are in detention. They discover they all have poor relationships with their parents: Claire's parents use her to get back at each other during arguments John's parents physically and verbally abuse him Allison's parents are neglectful Andrew's father emotionally abuses him to the limit to succeed, especially in wrestling and Brian's parents pressure him to earn the highest grades possible. Gradually, they open up and reveal their secrets: Claire has many experiences of peer pressure due to her popularity John comes from an abusive household Allison is a compulsive liar who dreams of running away from home Andrew cannot think for himself due to his controlling father, and Brian contemplated suicide over a failing grade. The students then pass the time by talking, arguing, and, at one point, smoking marijuana (except Allison, who doesn't smoke with the rest). John eventually escapes through the ceiling and returns to the library. They all eventually feel sorry for him after seeing how he deals with abusive adults like Vernon, who gives John eight weekends' worth of additional detention and eventually locks him in a storage closet for talking back. John spends most of his time bullying or harassing Claire, Brian, and Andrew. John, who has an antagonistic relationship with Vernon, ignores the rules and riles up the other students. He assigns them a thousand-word essay, in which each must describe "who you think you are." He leaves, returning only occasionally to check on and reprimand them.
