“I like to think that when we’re going into high school, we imagine it like “Oh! It’s gonna be like Mean Girls or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off!” But when we leave, we look back and just know that we’ve learned the perks of being a wallflower.“
THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, or PERKS, was originally a novel written by Stephen Chbosky and published in 1999. It follows Charlie, an introverted writer, through his first year in high school as he’s adopted into a loving friend group known as the wallflowers. He traverses the highs and lows of freshman year as he learns what it means to be outspoken about one’s feelings, experiences, and wants.
