Throughout the trailer for the bildungsroman drama, the Perks of Being a Wallflower, the main characters are representing the less popular, teenage outcasts whom are pushed away from society due to the lack of regard from others, towards people who are different to them. It suggest that growing up, which is the main theme throughout the film, can be extremely difficult especially when you are different, whether it be your appearance, personality, disability or sexual orientation.
Despite the two boys, Charlie and Patrick, subverting the stereotypical teenage boy, both characters exhibit some traits of typical teenage boys. Some examples being: going to parties, going to sports events and getting into fights at school. However, this does not outweigh their differences to their piers and causes them to be outcasts.
