Troubled Children: It
On Tuesday April 20, 1999 at approximately 11:00 a.m., 2 students went on a killing spree, slaughtering 12 of their classmates and 1 teacher at Columbine High School (Larison). The two suspects (Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17) had been noted for being outcasts in the school. Others knew the two as part of a group of suburban high school boys known as the Trench Coat Mafia.

This would in turn reduce juvenile crimes and teenage violence. Also, every parent should try to become more involved in the lives of their children, encouraging their children to be better
