I was in middle school when Columbine tradgedy happened and now, 10 years later, we remember that horrible day. Even though I didn’t understand what happened it was something I can’t forget. Columbine happened thousands of miles away from where I went to school, but it was enough for me to start stereotyping people as potential Columbine copiers. I kept wondering, will my classmates who were bullied ever reach a point where they can't take it no more and if so what would happen? 

10 years later, the Columbine shooting is being remembered by different media sites, which is why I was surprise to hear that one of the nation's most influential women decided to stay silent. Oprah Winfrey decided to cancel her episode “10 Years Later: The Truth about Columbine” because after reviewing it, she though it focused too much on the shooters. I understand it's a sensitive moment for people but if you're like me, youare still wondering what caused those teenage boys to lash out the way they did.
