A funny and touching coming-of-age story, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER is a modern classic that captures the dizzying highs and crushing
lows of high school. Freshman Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a perpetual wallflower until he falls under the spell of the beautiful, free-spirited Sam (Emma Watson) and her
fearless stepbrother, Patrick (Ezra Miller); together, the trio navigates love, loss, fear, hope - and the quest for the perfect song - in this unforgettable adaptation
of Stephen Chbosky's beloved novel.

The movies relates back to the book better than any other story I have ever read. It helps that the director is also the author, but even still it's a beautiful adaptation. It is definitely a coming of age book and movie that gives people the chance to experience something they can relate to or something they wish to know more about. High school students everywhere will be able to find something they can relate to in this book even if it isn't from Charlie's perspective. You get to see a wide variety of characters and a little insight of their lives. It's a 90's version of the Breakfast Club in the eyes of one person, in the sense of the type of characters. In every generation we have the same type of people, fads come and go but the type of category people fit into will never change. Anyone who has ever felt like they don't fit in or are trying to fit in, or even goes against everything about trying to fit in can relate to this in some way or another. I highly recommend that it should be read for it's raw and intense emotions and challenges that these characters go through.

Most adults don't believe that teenagers had struggles nor problems in their lifes that they really care about, and this movie shows how we resolve it when some adults don't even know how to help us, it is really stressing. This movie can help adult understand us, or even get us in some type of way. Charlie represents many others teenagers with problems they weren't prepare for, their parents didn't prepare them, or they didn't ask, I'm just happy that it represent us, not a bad way, in the truth way.

As I struggle with depression and oppression I find myself wondering whether things will ever go fine. I always found myself clouded by everyone else's problems, everyone else's fears. I have a lover. A lover who's helped me surpass loneliness, surpass darkness. The darkness that dragged me through life like a man tied to a horse. To everyone who reads this I have not gotten better I've just have gotten better with ignoring and telling myself it's not the way it seems. I know one day I soon will give in. 💜
