The authors of the paper "Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold: The Making of a Legacy," a study of the high school shooters, offered the following explanation of their late-1990s teens:
This may be a result of a form of self-protection that is common in adolescents, called "identity diffusion" (although they would hardly describe it that way). It is the process by which adolescents learn to distance themselves from their parents and peers, and to develop an identity that is separate from them (and must be defended against). The desire to belong, and the fear of rejection, drive most adolescents to shun status symbols and groups, and they do so in order to promote their own self-worth and independence. This can result in a sort of conflict between their desire to belong and their desire to be different.
The authors' conclusion is that Klebold and Harris were "distancing themselves from their parents and peers in order to develop an identity that was not dependent on them." They added that "this could have been driven by a need for autonomy, self-protection, and the desire to defend their sense of uniqueness."
Eric David Harris and Dylan Bennet Klebold were an American mass murder duo who perpetrated the Columbine High School massacre. Harris and Klebold killed 13 people and wounded 24 others on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School, where they were seniors, in Columbine, Colorado. After killing most of their victims in the school's library, they simultaneously committed suicide. At the time, it was the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history, with the ensuing media frenzy and moral panic leading it to become one of the most infamous mass shootings ever perpetrated in the US. Harris and Klebold met while they were in the 7th grade. Over time, they became increasingly close. By the time they were juniors, they were described as inseparable. There are differing reports: some say Harris and Klebold were very unpopular students and frequent targets of bullying, while others say they were not near the bottom of the school's social hierarchy and each had many friends.
