This graph shows that school shootings happen more frequently than we realize, but also the clear presence of influence that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (unfortunately) provided to fellow high schoolers around the country.

The guaranteed explanation for the young men to take action and start a massacre was simple. Klebold and Harris had both been bullied, and this was their way of retaliation. However, investigators also suggest that violent video games and aggressive music could also be blamed.

1. Why did you choose this topic?
2. What did you already know or think about the topic going into it?
3. What did you learn from your research?
4. How did your research change your opinion?
5. How does this topic relate to the world today?

1. I chose this topic because I was truly interested in how and why this would even occur. I was curious to see how the public reacted and wanted specifically to see how the killers' parents reacted to their children's actions.

2. The only thing I came into this knowing was that two young men started a school shooting in Colorado.

3. I learned as much as I could from this research opportunity. I learned that the lives of everyone in the school, related to someone in the school, and everywhere around the country were greatly affected.

4. This research changed my opinion because before I began my research, I expected there to be lots of reasoning and evidence behind the shooters' decision, but it ended up being a revenge story.

5. This topic relates to the real world because people finally realized the danger of mental health. People need to pay more attention to kids and put more effort into counseling.
