Columbine High School, is a famous high school for all the wrong reasons. Everyone typically asks, why? However, nothing can justify a right or wrong answer as to why the school shooting happened. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were the two shooters of Columbine. Harris was a psychopath, he was a criminal mastermind, he showed no empathy, and he could hide the fact of being a psychopath. Harris hated the world, in his journal he talks about killing, getting rid of mankind, and mass murder. Klebold was a sensitive, loving boy. Klebold was also filled with hate but his hate was in himself, not towards the world. In Dylan’s journal, he most frequently talked about love.

Dylan was capable of feeling love, he was just a sad teen. Eric Harris’s journal was full of hate. Eric talked about how much he wanted to eliminate mankind.

Eric was a psychopath. Dylan Klebold was depressed. His parents knew he was sad but did not know how bad it was. Dylan’s parents did know Dylan was depressed but worse than the parents knew. “His parents didn’t understand the full extent of it, but high school wasn’t turning out to be a kind place for him. He started getting in trouble and complained of how certain groups of kids were ruthless bullies, yet the school did nothing to stop them” (Parker 3.) Dylan was known to be the type of child any parent would want to raise. Dylan was a kind, smart, sweet, and generous boy. As Dylan got older he became more complex. Eric was a psychopath, a cold-blooded killer, had no empathy, and was incredible at hiding his true self. Eric would hide his true self from everyone. No one knew Eric was a psychopath, not even his parents. Eric created pipe bombs in his bedroom and stored them in his bedroom. The typical parent would come into their teen’s room occasionally to check on them. “Eric and Dylan had planned to be dead shortly after the weekend, but Friday night they had a little work to do: one last shift at Blackjack” ( Cullen 393.)
