“It was a failed bombing. Eric and Dylan had planted bombs throughout the school.” Dylan was into the idea of bombing the school and gave Eric more ideas to accomplish their plan. “Eric apparently hoped to watch the library and its inhabitants crash down upon the flaming Lunchers.” Eric ideas of bombing the school got crazier and crazier by the day. Eric wasn’t depressed like Dylan, he wanted to be immortal and have people acknowledge him and his doings. Dylan just went along with the idea of bombing and hurting his classmates. Dylan wanted to kill himself for years before the shooting, “Dylan was planning to kill himself long before” the shooting massacre. “Loneliness was the crux of the problem, but it ran deeper than just finding a friend.

He talked to Dylan, who downplayed it Again.” The counselor didn’t care about it, he thought Dylan was joking around and wrote the paper so he can get it over with. The school wasn’t paying enough attention to their pupil, the faculty was doing “there job” getting them educated. “Columbine's administrators admit that didn't include speaking to his teachers, family, or friends about him.” I wonder why he didn’t tell them? Oh wait because the administrators were to lazy to speak up about the situation. A administrator job is to give important information to the faculties in the school, letting them know what is going on. Eric and Dylan gave huge clues about their plans and doing before the attack. Couple of teachers looked into the matter, but didn’t take their clues serious enough. The counselor “downplayed” Dylan’s paper, that paper should’ve gave the counselor at least one clue what Dylan was going through.
