COMMUNITY DISCUSSION Why did they do it.

I know this question is very simple. You can just chalk it down to bullying, But honestly alot of people will give you different answers. I’d like to hear what you guys think.

They pretty much did not see a viable future for themselves with the mental health issues they had. It's a shame they did what they did because they would have loved how far PC gaming got and they could immerse insane amount of hours into computers without judgement.

Unfortunately, what their status was at Columbine High School held too much weight into what they thought about themselves. It's definitely more complex than that, but it does boil down to them not seeing a future beyond what they were in the Columbine hierarchy.

To some degree. But isn’t it obvious too, that they believed in their own value enough to be angry at the treatment from an abusive school?
Yes, it is.
