So... Where are the "wallflowers"?

I decided to watch this because I expected a story about outcast people, people I can relate to. What I see here is a bunch of typical 'cool' teenagers with their own little group of friends who have a different taste in music and average problems like any other of their age group. Now, when are we going to see a real movie about outcasts? It's always the same thing. Because, I dunno, most "misfits" I know aren't having fun parties with their loved ones and enjoying life as a normal american teenager would overall.

Charlie was a wallflower through and through. He was invisible, had no friends and was bullied. That's a wallflower to me.
