Laurie created "Charles" as a way to cope with and express his frustrations about his own behavior and the challenges of adjusting to school. By inventing an imaginary friend who misbehaves, he could externalize his feelings and explore the boundaries of acceptable behavior without directly confronting his own actions. This also allowed him to navigate the complexities of growing up and the pressures of social norms. Ultimately, "Charles" serves as a reflection of Laurie's inner struggles and desires for acceptance.
