Short Answer
1. How can we discuss books that address serious issues like mental health? How can we make our classroom a safe space?
Teaching Suggestion: The Perks of Being a Wallflower includes a lot of sensitive content, including drug use and sexual abuse. As the instructor, it’s important to create a space where students can come to you if this novel becomes too emotionally difficult or triggering. Discussing this with students at the outset is critical. Let students know that they can talk to you or the school counselor if they have difficulty finishing the novel.
2. Stephen Chbosky uses an epistolary form as the structure for The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
