Where exactly did you read this?>ZippyDSMlee said:I been reading about that lately its a cultural myth that they were not outcasts they were just pissed at the world(or raving mad) and took it out on the school.stinkychops said:It annoys me how incorrect you are.Evil Jak said:I am not an emo and dont care for the whole cutting thing but what the fuck gives you the right to tell people what to be? And more specifically what length their hair should be? Seiously, didnt you learn anything from Columbine? If someone feels rejected and alone (regardless of wether they actually are) then you DONT push them until they break because then they are going to kill people, people like you.Darkside360 said:No, I was the person who kept telling them to cut their damn hair.

Also, your avatar annoyed me too.
The columbine killers were not social outcasts. They had a pretty big circle of friends who accepted them. They may not have been popular with everyone but they were by no means the school outcasts. They were both psychocotic (although it has been speculated one was the dominated with abandonment issues). this meant that they don't see the world the same.
The reason they did the school shooting and attempted bombing was to put fear into the world and get a place in history. The attack was against the world, not the school, and they are not remembered as terrorists but psychopaths, something I am pleased about.
If you live in fear of school shootings then well done, they win.
I was bullied and it did fck me up it can drive one to do strange things tho the worst for me was just introversion and a fear of people I carry with me to this day.
Peer pressure can screw with ones psyche add onto it bullying and it can break a few different personalities/people and they generally fall into 2 different categories IE they either internalize it(like me) or externalize it of which the rare case can harm others..

basically they were psychopaths that managed to get their 15 minutes of fame the worst way possible.
