Eric Harris was jealous. His best friend had a date for the prom. Dylan Klebold was meek, shy and self conscious. He was very shy. He was a brain also. He was not as cool as his friend Eric. Dylan was taller and smarter than Eric. Dylan thought Eric was better looking than he was. He started growing a beard. Dylan thought of himself as a rebel. At 6-3, Dylan towered over his peers. Eric and Dylan did everything together. They went to football games, dances and variety shows. Both loved baseball and soccer.

Eric Harris was a nonconformist. He craved approval. He got mad over the slightest disrespect. Dylan on the other hand was a heavy drinker. Eric was a control freak. Eric was reliable. Dylan was not. Both boys liked to pick on younger kids. Dylan would erupt. Eric would stay calm. Eric would always get themselves out of trouble. Eric was calm and even tempered. Dylan was a live wire ready to erupt.

On the outside, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold acted like normal teenagers.
