The Perks of Being a Wallflower

What is a Wallflower? It's someone who stands off to the side and notices everything. They see the sadness, happiness, anger, and disappointment in people's eyes. They watch as drama unfolds.

In the movie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Charlie befriends some seniors who show him a different side to high school. He watches as his friends party and act in shows. Charlie falls in love with a girl who doesn't see his love, but instead only sees the love she thinks she deserves.

Charlie is also somewhat of a troubled child. His best friend had committed suicide and his aunt had sexually abused him. Charlie didn't ever say anything and would black out at times when things went bad.

Overall, the movie it self was very good, but the message is what matters more. You don't have to fit everyone else's standards and you can still be you. The people who truly care are the ones we never really think to look to.
