Possible events in this novel could be bullying, due to the blurb stating “I won’t describe what I look like.…

    perks of being wallflower paper

In the beginning of the book it said he was very quiet and really shy.in the beginning of the year I was really shy and quiet because I had to make new friends because all my friends went to Shephard High School. But we both had to make new friends because Charlie’s best friend, Michael, committed suicide. So, Charlie overcame that fear of going up to people and met Patrick and his step sister, Sam. Which later in the book and became best friends. “Mary Elizabeth: Charlie, Charlie, what do you think about high school? Charlie: High school? Bull$#!t. The cafeteria is called the Nutrition Center; people wear their leather jackets even when it's 98 degrees out. And why do they give out leather jackets to marching band? It's not a sport. We all know it. Mary Elizabeth: This kid is crazy. Charlie: Mary Elizabeth, I think you're really gonna regret that, you know. Charlie: haircut when you look back at old photographs. I'm really sorry. That sounded like a compliment in my head.” That excerpt was when Charlie went to high school for the first time and his friends asked him, how was his first day of school and he thought high school would be different. That’s how he is throughout the whole book, funny but shy.…
