columbine high school massacre?

Question

i need to know the opinions of other people...

In your opinion, what could be the reason why Eric and Dylan commited such a horrifying crime? Do you think that there is some kind of underlying psychological problem which none of us know about? Do you think that the game Doom affected them to some extent, later on deciding to take the life of everyone they hate? Do you think the violent German songs Eric used to listen to had a hand in shaping his personality?

any opinion would be greatly helpful as i am currently working on my project for my major class. :D

The anger could have come from the teasing ang bullying they received in school, but do you think the media somehow aggravated this anger and caused them to act upon it?

Answer 1

NO - I think 100 % that it was because they were sick and tired of being picked on... by students AND by teachers...
I was bullied in school and can admit that even now as an adult I have fantasies of killing (or at least getting revenge) on those who did such cruel things...

I think the game and the music were a release for them from the Bullies.. but eventually it wasnt enough

Answer 2

I think that they may have been suffering from psychological problems, low self-esteem and self-hatred. I think that there was some pressure on them to fit in and that they probably snapped from isolation, I don't think that computer games or songs can make us killers but perhaps they give us ideas to increase the negativity that a lot of young people feel.

I think that there is also some blame to be placed on the availability of firearms which allow young people to commit such acts.

Answer 3

You can't blame it on anyone but them. They were a bunch of crazy rockers, who got ripped on in high school.

Answer 4

Lack of family. PERIOD
