Personal Reflections of Life

I am shocked at the events that I read in the Perks of A Wallflower. It is absolutely unbelievable that when Charlie was asked to kiss the prettiest girl in the room he decided to kiss Sam instead of his girlfriend, Mary Elizabeth. I understand that he wanted to start being honest with her, but the way he did it is shocking. It is baffling to me at the lack of thought process that he had and even if he was drunk, having the impulse to do something like that is unlike Charlie’s personality.
I believe that he deserves all of the sadness and depression that is circling around him for his actions. I also find it very unfair to Sam. Instead of telling Mary Elizabeth how he really feels, he decides to bring Sam into his problems. This not only raises questions, but also drives a pick in between Sam’s relationship with Mary and Craig.

With the recently discovered motive of the co-pilot to the horrific plain crash, it has left me with many concerns for our society. Although I do not agree with the co-pilots decision in anyway, I do sympathize with him, even though he is the cause of one of the most shocking acts of mass murder in recent years.
Suffering from depression and eye problems, Andreas, the copilot, was scared of losing his job and had no one to turn to for help. I believe that this shocking event could have been avoided if he had received the proper attention and help from doctors or family. This has also happened around the US, where kids suffering from depression or other problems would attack schools. I believe that if our society gave them help then they would have never committed their crimes, either.
