In "the Perks of Being a Wallflower" there are a lot of real life issues that happen, because the book is so realistic. Charlie doesn't "sugarcoat" anything in his letters or tries to make it sound better than what it is. That is one reason I like the book so much.
The first real life issue that is in the book a lot, is the drinking and smoking of all of the high school students. Charlie goes to a lot of parties with his older friends, where they smoke marijuana and drink a lot. This is an issue today with a lot of high school students. The author, Stephen Chbosky, tells how the parties are. Charlie doesn't really have an opinion on the drinking and smoking.
Another real life issue that is in the book is the family issues that are in the book. Charlie doesn't have a perfect family. And I don't think anyone does. He feels guilty about his aunt's death. His siblings always fight, and his family doesn't always get along. This shows that Stephen Chbosky feels that no family is perfect. I agree with him.
Those are just some of the many real life issues that are in my book.
