She knows how people still feel about her, she also knows she cant escape the feelings they have or ever change them even in many years to come forth. Kirsten was beautiful. The knife was her sisters for making lunch it was even in the movie that way. Knowing you though youll never have the character or the balls to do this and that was the reason you arent in whatever popular grip you killed to try to get into. She has a right to Privacy. Thats a much more obvious motive. Karen, its true, Bernadette was obsessed with Kirsten . Setting up a fake meeting and lying about a Party is Strange and Weird. Bernadette tried her best to forge a friendship under false pretenses and you Justify her actions, you must either be Bernadette or her sister, or a close friend or Relative. Society in the richest places raise their children to be obnoxious and unbearable little freaks who will at some point push a normal person to the brink,so whatever happens is something they are a part of as well as the person they have pushed. Angela DelVecchio Managing Editor Philly Sports Digest, Award Winning Broadcast Journalist, News Director, Writer, Public Speaker. You may think Bernadette is happy and living life, glad you think so, I would hate to have to always live in fear, of fear of running into someone from my past, or, someone who knows about my past. So yes Kirstens friends still get together at times, but they dont discuss Bernadette or the death of Kirsten, as a matter of fact,( they dont want it brought up at all). No one deserves to be murdered. Like Missy Availa saying she was roughish and wild and Loose, didnt give Karen Severson and Laura Doyle any right to murder her either. Bernadette fit in fine and lived in a lovely area. Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected. This is Berns BFF or her Sister or Bern herself, no one else would go to such extend to call a dead girl names. Sad. Angela Delvecchio's Rating . Same for guys as well, but girls are a lot worse. They also laughed at you in the halls when you passed them, Bernadette to and Kirsten, I wasnt in the (wonderful in crowd) so I didnt fit in their world. Angela Delvecchio : Monica, just let it go. [citation needed]. I have always treated others the way I want to be treated. She was given birth in a luxurious home by her parents, Arthur and Berit Costas, and she had a brother named Peter who was raised in the unremarkable suburb of Orinda in the state of California. Abe that was your downfall. She killed her cause she was afraid Kirsten would target her as a Weirdo now shes labeled as a MURDERER [3] Costas attended Miramonte High School and was a member of the school's varsity swim team and the cheerleading squad.

So no she is a Psychopath. And not a fuckn psycho. Later, Protti stated in her testimony that she had planned to bring Costas to the party so that the two of them might become friends, but she changed her mind after learning that there would be no meal supplied for the new Bobbies. [Case in point:]. It was all over popularity, and fitting in. I read a lot of nice things about Kirsten as well, so she couldnt of been all that bad. Bernadette pushed her by her false Alibies. so dont mock, offer to help thus build bridges. Did you know the 2 Accussed? My honest opinion on this is that I think that Kirsten didnt deserve to die. Most teen girls are smart alecky and mean. Girls, women at any age can be so horrible. There was no jury in the trial. Bernadette really should have left her alone. But I do know that two families had to move out of town because the girls wore all black and kept to them selves.. Bernadette was afraid she would end up in the outside looking in ( which finally became the case) she took drastic measures to try and prevent it. Bernadette was/is just a mental case. It gave me the creeps. I had known Kirsten since first grade, and had one class with Bernadette at the time of her arrest. She was not any Chris Hargensen in Carrie, or Regina George in Mean Girls or anything like that, she was totally down to Earth and engaging from what I was told. She was always listening to music, making phone calls, dancing. She wasnt into that game. The family became active members of the Meadow Swim and Tennis Club, just a stones throw from their home. I still have nightmares of many girlfriends ignoring me, making fun of me and being just vicious. Kirsten was just like any other girl who had to go to that snobby school. And those others, D and them, they have lives of their own and probaly (jobs and families) so why would they care about being the Life of the Party? [5] He thought that he was witnessing a fistfight, but in fact Protti had stabbed Costas five times with a butcher knife and fled. Those girls like Chris she hung with has changed, theyre not like they were in school, Kirsten would of changed also as she got older. Nobody was all that nice to each other because that was the culture parents included even more so than the kids. You Mats that knows Kirsten, why was she so Mean? It sounds like she was only mean one time about her having cheap ski boots. Bernadette was kind to. Your argument is Sort of pointless, and hypocritical considering that Bernadette did not value TRUE FEELINFS, FREINDSHIPS!!! There were more than just Joanna that were singled out at Miramonte, I read other stuff there were quite a few that felt like they werent socially accepted. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. And the color pictures of the school are photographs I took. She wanted in with Kirsten and she was afraid Kirsten would discuss the conversation, she held her captive till Kirsten escaped. I can tell its you before I even read the first line. You are still getting that she was a bully from the movie where they changed everyones name because they werent doing a real version. If we all got along with everyone then it would be boring. her a few times she was kind of uppity also like Kirsten. She probably just released her anger towards her so she could move on. She is unstable and who knows what she will do. Just hearsay. Dont matter if the girl bullied her. Even a Mother of one of her friends said, Kirsten was like a Puppy and hugged people,,not exclusive and liked everyone. Maybe LP doesnt want to be the Life of the party. If Mrs. Cistss forgave Bernadette then great. Well she had her Spirits and was funny ( if not funnier) like that. Secondly, if you actually did your research on the true case, and not some Hollywood movie who portrayed supposedly Kirsten, who was of Greek American heritage a blond, and Bernadette, who was the real blond, a brunette. Ok, I agree with you that Kirsten was better-looking, but you realize that Bernadette was part Italian, right? They told about the girls ran out of School. Kirsten was Cute and so funny and bouncy and full of energy and Life. Love your integrity on all this. Nancy and Joanna? Bernadette was not a nice girl, if she was then shed never of killed Kirsten, shed left her alone and went on. As I wrote in another comment to you, If Bernadette killed Kirsten because she was bullied and put down by her, why didnt she give examples at her trial which would have strengthened her case? Self Absorbed yes. Bernadette was described as homely. For Industry Professionals. They probably rubbed her the wrong way, or got on her nerves somehow. It also evil and sick. Oh Im sure they so love having thier names and business displayed for the World to see. And in the movie, the big butcher knife sat between the 2 girls in the car. On the day of the event, Protti lied to Costas about having a party at her house in order to get him to leave her residence. So Kirsten should have been perfectly okay with the fact that Bernadette lied to her to get her out of her house alone and then drove her to an empty car-park and appears to have confessed feelings of admiration for her? Karen, it wasnt about Bullying, it was over jealousy issues. Thank God Im out of high school now and dont have to deal with all that social crap. If you did your research, you would know that Kirsten didnt bully Bernadette. I just felt like I didnt fit in at Miramonte or Orinda. No matter if she was cocky or snobby; irrelevant. Continue reading to find out more. Bernadette should of gotten 25 to life for that Crime. She was the (In crowd) Bernadette was desiring to be the incrowd. She was also a very good student who did well academically in school. We had honor students who were kind of poor, but we loved them, and learned from them. Lol the people saying bernadette was better looking and Kristen had it coming, oh boyhoping your not the ugly neighbor living on my block and lurking in my bushes. Those girls had a clique. All of the pictures featured here are photos taken from newspapers, not the authors private collection. If Kirsten was mercilessly cruel to Bernadette, it would have been brought up at Bernadettes trial which would have strengthened her case, but it wasnt brought up because it didnt happen. They were mutually aquatinted. No one is killed without a reason. Bernadette had plenty of other friends, she was in that group, Kirsten didnt have anything against Bernadette, if she would of left her alone, eventually they may of became friends, no she couldnt wait, wanted it all right now and pushed and forced her way into it. Others suffer more cause they experience the loss. The 2nd version of Death of a Cheerleader is more like Kirsten to a degree. When no one there answered the phone, Alexander Arnold offered to drive her back to a neighbors house in Orinda. Another lesson is parents should not have kids too late in life. She isnt outgoing like she use to be, I can see why, she has to watch over her head. I dont think she was, just a teen girl who was like the rest in competition. After the terrible event, Protti legally changed her name and shifted to another place to start a new family. It seemed like Bernadette needed intense psychotherapy for her issues. [7], Protti claimed to have found the kitchen knife by chance, and her elder sister, Virginia Varela, testified in court that she kept that knife in her car to cut vegetables. I didnt kill them. Sad because K had it all as I saw it. The girl with the football players heard she was ran out on her ear and laughed out of there to. Youre not now Bullying a dead girl, makes you worse than her, you will be the one to Answer for it, not her, she already has, Bernadette sure isnt any Angel shes a Cold Blooded Killer, dont care what her reasons are, she is the Bully, and Kirsten is the Victim. lmao. No one is bothering her anymore. By the time she reached Miramonte, Kirsten was in the clique that counted the loud crowd, some kids called it. Snobs like Kristen who think they are better than everyone, put others down, and degrade them because of their class status are the reason shootings like Columbine took place. Specialties Specialty Family Nurse Practitioner A family nurse practitioner is a nurse who completed a graduate degree in. Lifetime produced an updated version starring Aubrey Peeples and Sarah Dugdale, with an adult Kellie Martin playing Agent Murray, the police detective who cracks the case. Really? Can you give examples of Kirsten degrading others and thinking she is better than everyone? Kirsten she liked everyone, she wasnt any bully by any means, she was so cute and funny. I do believe she didnt like outcasts like Nancy and Joanna there. You got kids in all school people try to duck away from and avoid. They were rich. Nancy I know exactly how you feel. I never seen her bully. They were more aquainted than you think. A lot of girls are Conceited, dont mean they deserved to be Murdered. i remember always thinking that Bs case would had been much different today. I mean she stabbed another girl to death because she was afraid to get made fun of at school or be outed or whatever. You have no one to blame but yourselves for being unnattractive, fat, disliked, broke loserswhatever your issues are. Additionally, the Bernadette character was portrayed as sweet and innocent, while a sexy twenty-something Tori Spelling played the part of the 15 year old Kirsten. I hear Kirsten was Cocky and Arrogant, but not any Bully. But it is a very old case and Bernadette is no where to be found,(or cares to be)by other than family. Hollywood tends to make villains heroes, and innocent people into villains. Well based on the movie Yeah, thats your problem. Kristen was a total bully, just horrible. No I would never kill someone from being bullied but I totally understand some people who do. They werent as bad as you think. I have to laugh with this being 2021 and the person with the most judgment has the name of Karen. There was this one girl that was so jealous of me, that she spread lies about me to her sorority friends and kept me from pledging her sorority.
