If there was a gal who was into status, clothing, etc. You know all the things they thought were mindless zombie like but was also open-minded and accepting towards them do you think they would have have given her a chance?

I’m sorry, I just can’t answer these hypothetical kinds of questions as to whether they’d give a specific type of girl “a chance”.  First off, they were hardly in any position to be super picky about women.  And besides of which, shouldn’t we be asking whether the girl would have given them the chance rather than the other way around?  Seems kind of grovelly that we have to question whether certain sorts of girls would measure up to their standards, ya know?  😉

That is 234 people. 234 children, teens and staff that had their life ended by a bullet in a place that is supposed to be safe since the Columbine High School Massacre. This does include the perpetrators, though, who are not victims in any way. There have been SO MANY others that have had non-fatal injuries that have also scared, hurt and traumatized our children. Parents send their kids to these places everyday, usually without this being in their mind. We need action. This is ONLY in America, they have the most school shootings. We don’t need guns. I’m sorry if you like to hunt or want to protect yourself but having an AR-15 will not protect your child during a school shooting. Please, PLEASE make this stop. I’m scared to go to school, and I’m Canadian. I’m begging you to do something, America, you’re killing your children. Rest In Peace to the 234 victims. ♥️

In Memoriam….🕊

Devon Adams on Dylan and Eric:

thedogdaysuniverse:

“’Dylan was a shy and sympathetic person. He was so sweet and kind and loving,’ his friend Devon says all these seven years later.
‘He was also disillusioned and hurt and angry at the world,’ Devon continues. ‘He had no outlet to vent his emotions; he bottled them up.’
Dylan’s disastrous depression, which was propped up by his journal entries, was talked about a lot in the papers. But in contrast to Eric, Dylan didn’t take medicine for his depression. He kept the knowledge of the depression to himself.
Devon admits that in retrospect there was something weird in Dylan’s behavior from time to time.
‘One theory is that he had Disassociate Identity Disorder, which means that one has multiple personalities, because he literally changed from one person to another around different people or circumstances,’ Devon ponders.
Dylan was a really talented person, an extremely promising and skilful poet. Devon agrees with this and also finds many other skills which he had. ‘Dylan was incredibly talented at sound design, at computer work, and at baseball,’ she says.
According to Devon, Dylan’s talent didn’t get the value it deserved, which depressed him. ‘He didn’t make the Columbine baseball team because he didn’t have a ‘name’ for himself, so he just gave up. He became apathetic, which is so dangerous,’ she says.
In this busy Western world, where creativity and being an individual isn’t valued enough, Dylan didn’t have a place to be happy. He didn’t have the ability to handle the world around him. It makes me think of the amount of humanity and potential which was lost that day. It was too much. It should never have been allowed to happen.
Forlorn Devon remembers her last genuine encounter with Dylan. It is something, which she is never going to forget. It happened in Columbine High School senior prom.
‘At prom, just three days before the shootings, Dylan and I danced to Take my Breath Away,’ Devon remembers. ‘I meant to tell him what a good friend he was and how much I cared for him, but I chickened out,’ she regrets.
‘He asked if I wanted to see The Matrix movie on that Wednesday, April 21. I said yes. He had never broken his plans with me before. That’s why I believe that a deeper mental issue came into play,’ Devon says. ‘People who want to die do not make plans. And when they entered that building they knew they were going to die.’
Talking about Eric, Devon can’t be so insightful since she wasn’t so close to him as she was to Dylan. Nonetheless, she knew Eric and was his friend, through Dylan mainly. In the media Dylan was portrayed as a follower who in a way copied Eric. Devon, however, saw it differently.
‘Oddly, it was Eric who would copy everything Dylan did, which made Dylan so angry,’ she says. ‘But it was Eric’s stronger, more violent personality that won out over Dylan.’
Otherwise the picture of Eric made by the media and experts matches the picture of him drawn by Devon. Eric was an angry and menacing teenager.
‘Eric loved to intimidate and frighten people. He would walk through the halls wearing camouflage or black, just scowling,’ Devon describes. ‘He was bitter and angry and threatening. He hated everyone and everything.’”

“I’ve had a hard time trying deal with what happened. At times, I’ve felt like I was lost. I’ve been sad, numb, depressed, angry. But we’ve had support from a lot of people, and that has really helped. Now I want to make something good come out of this. That’s the best thing I can do for Rachel. It helped to talk with a counselor and a pyschologist. At first, I thought that idea was kind of lame. I thought just talking about it wasn’t going to do anything. But it did. It helped in a different way when they gave me a plastic bat and said I could beat on a chair. That got the anger out. I can’t change what Eric and Dylan did. But maybe I can do something about the way we treat guys like them. The kids who taunted them, who slammed them against lockers, need to change. They need to see that’s it not cool to put other people down for a cheap laugh. Nobody really respects that, even though people may not speak up because they’re afraid to seem uncool. We need to reach out to kids who seem like they’re having problems. We need to find some common ground with them. That’s my main goal. The greatest comfort I have is seeing that some people are trying to be more sensitive to other kids. There’s this one big football player at school -his name is Joe- and he wrote me a letter that was totally not what I would have expected from him. He told me he was praying for me, and he said some real nice things. That meant a lot to me. I looked at it and I thought, “Wow, he really wrote that with his heart.” I know what happened at Columbine has brought up a lot of issues about schools, families, laws, video games, and music. All of the violence that comes at us all the time has to have an effect. You can’t pretend that it doesn’t, especially on people who aren’t real stable. But I honestly don’t think that new laws about guns or more metal detectors at school are the answer. They’re not going to stop the sort of people who decide to do something like what happened at our school. What we need is a better way of thinking about each other. We need to be more careful about how we treat people who seem torn up inside.”

— Craig Scott (August, 1999)

Wow, he said this so early on..

I wish that I could say I have grown in some positive way researching the case, but I don’t think it’s provided me with the same benefit it seems to have for you and others in the community. I wish you and your readers all the best — lots of light, love, and happiness. Blessed be 💙

Sounds like you need a break.:)  But I think you have the mistaken impression that it’s all been positive and beneficial for me as well as some others. And that is certainly just not the case at all. There has been much upheaval for me personally as far as laying bear much-suppressed emotions.  I think it’s safe to say that I have undergone a metamorphosis and I am no longer the same person I once was in having more awareness. Delving into this case, realizing why you’re drawn to the boys and seeing them reflected back in the mirror where you stand,  is a dark journey but an important one. Understanding that you could be them – save for but one choice. It’s complicated stuff both heady and darkly depressing at times.  But, instead of hovering around the boys’ negative, low-level mode of thinking as if a moth to the flame, you need to pull yourself up from going undertow so that you’re not becoming them but learning from them. You decide not to repeat their negative pattern.  Instead, you voluntarily choose to make better choices for yourself in this existence.  You do it for yourself as you would do it for them..because, well, they are you and you are them. 🙂  Choosing to treat others with less judgment and more kindness because you understand full-well that everyone is fighting their own battles. And when you reach the point, you can begin to not live Columbine but instead, transcend it and reach a perspective of turning the darkness of this tragedy into light and love.  But like I say, in visiting the Columbine tragedy case, you often need to tke many breaks to distance yourself so that you do not lose perspective or be neglectful of actually living your own life.   Anyway, I’ll stop.. as I didn’t intend for this to turn into some kind of lecture. lol  Thank you for the ❤ and I wish you light, love, happiness, and healing in return!  Blessed Be! ❤
