Perks of being a Wallflower

Today I started the book "Perks of being a wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. The book so far is all letters to someone I don't know. The writer doesn't use real names but he said that his name is Charlie . One of his closest friends killed himself when he was younger. Charlie seems like a quite and emotional person. Every sad situation he's in , he crys. There is nothing wrong with crying but he crys ALOT.
