Lip is the second-eldest Gallagher child and the most academically inclined. He is a straight-A student with a 4.6 GPA. While he possesses above average intelligence and excellent mechanical skills, Lip deliberately wastes time acting like the rest of the people in his town. Lip uses his intelligence to make money for his family, such as taking the SAT for other students or avoiding the cops when selling beer and marijuana from an ice cream truck. Despite Lip's apparent genius, he has terrible judgement and is frequently shown smoking cigarettes and weed, having unprotected sex with multiple women, and drinking copious amounts of alcohol. Lip often gets into fights, including brawls staged for cash, but generally doesn't care if he wins or loses. Lip is not as physically fit as Ian, and his provocative attitude frequently gets him beat up.

Frank is the father of the Gallagher siblings, but he is a drunk and frequently walks in and out of their lives. Their mother, Monica, left to be with a black woman (Roberta) and never came back.

The Gallagher boys share a room, with Ian having a bed on one side, and Carl and Lip sharing a bunk bed on the other side. Lip sleeps on the top bunk. Ian is gay and bipolar. Carl is kind of crazy, having locked Debbie in the basement for hours as a "game." Debbie is smart but emotional, and Fiona does her best to keep the family afloat, juggling multiple jobs to pay the bills. All the kids contribute to the bills in any way they can.
