To me this movie is a very heart touching movie about a young boy who is trying to find himself in high school and just wants to belong to something but he is socially awkward with people and doesn't have very good communications skills which makes it hard for him to have friends . He is a freshman in high school and the only friend he had killed himself and now he doesn't have any friends to hangout with . He is bullied  in school for being smart and a head of everyone else in class . Then one day at a football game at the school he attends he manages to build up enough courage to talk to someone he recognizes from his class . Charlie the main character finally makes a friend and then a girl comes along which Charlie falls in love from the very first time he sees her . A few weeks into the relationship with his new friends they start to see how Charlie really is and understands why he is so alone all the time . Charlie was molested by his Aunt Helen but he never told anyone about  and after the Aunt left his house she was killed in a car crash and Charlie blames himself for that . 2 months of hanging with his friends Charlie ends up in a relationship with a friend the he really didn't care about but felt bad and didn't want to say no . While playing truth or dare with his group of friends Charlie is dared to kiss the prettiest girl in the room and he kisses Sam the girl he had fallen in love instead of his girlfriend and that incident causes them to not talk to him anymore .Charlie suffers from PTSD ,social anxiety ,and depression ,he gets the symptoms very bad and causes him to black out and not remember what he did . Charlie reunites with his friends when his friend Patrick who is gay is getting beat up by football players during lunch . He blacks out while fighting then when he comes back to life he sees the football boys on the ground and doesn't remember what happened . You have to watch the movie to find out what happens next . To me this movie is a movie that everyone can love and watch over and over . Most high school kids can relate to this . This movie is longer in theaters but is on television and on DVD . I recommend everyone to watch this movie .
