The Perks of Being a Wallflower is about a freshman, Charlie, who starts high school with no friends. He meets a senior in his freshman shop class who has failed every year. The senior becomes his guide in high school and introduces him to his friend group.

From there, Charlie begins to grow close with the group of seniors and crushes on one of them, a girl named Sam. He learns from them to unapologetically be himself. Charlie struggles with anxiety because of a family member who hurt him in the past, and he opens up to his friends about it.

His friends eventually have to go to college and leave Charlie, but he will always remember everything they taught him! The movie battles serious issues such as mental health but ultimately the movie ends on a good note. It can be a feel good movie if you’re willing to get through the tough parts to reach the end!!!
