“I wonder if either of these boys were ever given Ritalin or any other drug like that.”
Paxil, I think.
The article said that at least one of the boys was on anti-depressants.
I don’t blame the parents.
Some people are just crazy. It doesn’t always follow that their parents made them that way.
Of course if they were abused or neglected, I’d feel the parents were at least partly to blame. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.
I oppose the use of psychotropic drugs on kids in this manner, but I think that was an error in judgment, not malicious evil.
We all want someone to blame. Blame Dylan and Eric. They did it.
Zoloft is an antidepressant; I’ve been on it - believe me, it’s nothing like Ritalin.
Thanks....your post explains a lot!
Scary, isn’t it? When I was working on my master’s degree, the professors repeatedly told us that in order to be an effective therapist I had to hold the belief that everyone is inherently good. They used that exact wording! I will never believe that all humans are inherently good, and I think subscribing to that belief does a great disservice to many of those who do seek counseling.
There were more involved than just Harris and Klebold. Read the eyewitness statements:
