It's not hard for me to remember the date of the tragedy
thatoccurred at Columbine High School in Littleton seven years ago
tomorrow.
My parents and I were returning from a visit with family in
Colorado Springs four days before, when we were caught in a snow
storm and lost control of our vehicle on Highway 83 and-- well,
let's just say I still felt like a ghost when news of the shootings
came out.
It seems that today, some seven years after the event, people
continue to take comments about Columbine seriously. I can totally
understand that.
We have a story on our Highlands Ranch site, called
Teens,
Highlands Ranch a bore?in which someone is said to have the
opinion that
Dylan and
Klebold, the students who commited the murders at
Columbine High School, became violent because they were bored
teenagers.
The story as a whole surveys various teens about the
lifestyle offered to teenagers in Highlands Ranch.I think italso
inspires questions about drugs, alcohol, violence, crime and their
possible connection to teenagers who are "bored."
It's my hope that you, dear reader, will share your opinion
in the comments box below or at
the story
itself, which was posted by ThunderRidge High School student
Mitchell
Woll. And maybe you don't have a comment. I can understand
that, too.
Thanks for the read.
