This book was adapted into a film of the same new, and I had never actually seen nor read it until I volunteered to be on a committee to review the book after it was challenged within my local school district. It's been a year since I read it. The book stuck with me in more ways than one, probably the biggest being the way it so succinctly captured the way trauma manifests as a child. The 20th anniversary…

I have a feeling this isn't what you had in mind. [The Perks of Being a Wallflower](https://imdb.com/title/tt1659337/) is one of my favorite movies. Although he's not without friends the entire movie, I think you might still appreciate it. The new [Joker](https://imdb.com/title/tt7286456/) movie is definitely worth the mention. Although…

It is arguably the best film ever made about teenagers. It is as good a film about teenage depression as “Ordinary People” (1980).
