- Growing
up as a teenage boy in high school isn't as easy
as everyone thinks. Charlie is a freshman in
high school. He has just lost his aunt in a
tragic car accident. He felt that she was the
only one who he could talk to, so Charlie is
having a tough time coping with the fact that
she is gone and all the other difficulties he
runs into throughout his freshman year in high
school. To try to let out all these strange
emotions, he starts writing anonymous letters to
a person whom he knows. Throughout the year, he
tells this person everything. In a way,
it makes him feel better because he feels that
its nice to have someone just listen. To find
out what all these letters say, you can read THE
PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER by Stephen Chbosky.

Dear
Friend: Tomorrow will be the 25th of August. That
means I've been writing to you for a year. Me and
you have shared a lot for the past year. Like my
freshman year of high school. Girls like Sam -- -
Patrick's sister. She's really nice. I wish you
could meet her. I know you would like her. (Read p.
89) If you want to find out more about Aunt Helen
and Charles' life, read THE PERKS OF BEING A
WALLFLOWER by Stephen Chbosky. (Natalie D., 8th
grade student, Rundlett Middle School, Concord, New
Hampshire)
