The Catcher in the Rye is probably the ultimate example of this genre.

I agree. This book is what inspired me initially and I'm looking for more similar.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Wizard/Knight by Gene Wolfe (It's fantasy, but patrician coming-of-age)

Seconding The Wizard Knight, also The Fifth Head of Cerberus by the same author could be worth a look.

>teen perspective

Things Fall Apart falls under that
if you want edgy Catcher in the Rye, Ham on Rye by Bukowski

Blood Meridian is really about The Kid coming into manhood (through total brutality of course)

/mu/ is pretty definitely 18-22

Seconding also.
But I'd like to add Crime and punishment and The Adolescent. Unless you mind students. Than only the obvious name.

Read Treasure Island and write a song about pirates and booty.
