No, it isn't "weird." The Perks of Being a Wallflower is intended towards more mature audiences, but age is simply a number.
My favourite part is when Charlie walks in on Patrick and his boyfriend and Patrick takes him into the hallway and is talking to him about what he just saw and then goes "Charlie, are you baked?" and Charlie replies with "Like a cake!"
In "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," some key symbols include the tunnel where Charlie first meets Sam and Patrick, representing a pathway to self-discovery; the mixtapes exchanged between characters, symbolizing connection and shared experiences; and the secret character of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," serving as a metaphor for embracing one's true self.
Yes the people who have sex are listed as follows: Charlie and Mary Elizabeth Brad and Patrick (Aka "Nothing") Charlie's sister and her boyfriend And many other couples have sex in the novel. Some of it is sexual abuse, others is just like couples having sex.. Its like all over the book.
Both "Float On" by Modest Mouse and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" share themes of resilience and optimism in the face of adversity. The song's lyrics encourage moving forward despite hardships, much like the protagonist in the book who navigates through challenging experiences by finding strength and hope. Both emphasize the idea of embracing life's uncertainties and staying hopeful for better days ahead.
It seems to me that he likes classic literature. Catcher in the Rye. To Kill a Mockingbird. The Great Gatsby. Perks of Being a Wallflower. Those are the only books I've ever heard him say are his favorites.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a book and movie by Stephen Chbosky. The novel was published in 1999 and the film, staring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, was released in 2012.

His is known as Charlie and as the story progress we learn that Charlie suffers from mental health problems.
there are no pictures in the book... but on the back of the cover when you flip the book around you see charlie making faces covering his eyes, ears, and mouth. these are like the emoji signs of the monkeys on an apple phone or iPad. though i am not positive why that is there, i think it is to show his life. not being heard a lot (until meeting charlie and sam of course and the others), people not really "noticing" or "seeing" him, and people not talking to him a lot except for his english teacher.
Charlie and Sam resolve their romance and find that they are in love, but things won't be able to happen the way they would like, because she's going to college. Charlie then finds out that his favorite Aunt Helen, the one who died, sexually abused him when he was small. He ends up in the mental hospital, not remembering a thing. It is when he finally comes out of it that he realizes his family loves him and he loves his life.
Movies with coming-of-age themes like "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" or "Stand By Me" capture similar themes of youth, identity, and alienation. Books like "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath or "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton also delve into similar themes of adolescence and rebellion.
