I recently read the book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky, in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Charlie tells the story of his freshman year in high school in a series of letters to an anonymous recipient. From the beginning, it 's clear that Charlie is not your ordinary teenager and that he is carrying more troubles than should be asked of a single fifteen year old kid.
Don 't be fooled by the novel 's size and the seeming breeziness of its structure. Within just a few pages, Charlie deals with a wide range of issues including molestation, domestic abuse, rape, and drug use. With experience beyond what any teenager should have to confront, Charlie turns inward and this detachment is what depicts his voice much younger
