Again so many came on saying they knew Kirsten and sharing Personal Details on other girls there. I do believe she was real nice to those she did like and her friends.

They werent socially accepted on account of the choices they made.. Berns BFF chose to support her( that set her apart) In Orinda if you act like a Bad A.. you wont be accepted.

Her friends got to where they avoided her if possible.

Bernadette was to in a (round about way) She wasnt as popular as Kirsten, she desired to have the things Kirsten had.

Thats different, and usually those were the ones that were irritating and annoying. Bernadette then stalked Kirsten all the way to her house, ambushed her from behind with a 15/18 inch knife, inflicted Kirsten with two two foot wounds down her back and continued to stab Kirsten when she was suffering on the ground with her wounds.

As for Bernadette, I didnt know her well, but said hello to her a few times in passing at school, and when she came to get the attendance slips. She didnt give examples because she wasnt bullied by Kirsten. Nevertheless Kirsten will never be with us again, and there was no sense in murder (premeditated ) or not, it still happened. I was a year behind those girls, Bernadette was mean to me, she was stuck up also. She probably just released her anger towards her so she could move on. Bernadette is Sick. Yes, I have seen the movie. Guys can be, girls are Worse. Kristens parents are right the story as told doesnt make any sense. I want popular, but had friends who were, I didnt sulk about it, I did sports, not clubs or cheerleading. Neither does a lot of former classmates. Teenage years are hard on all of us. Not saying its you, but a lot of Similarities. Heres what I think happened, Bernadette wanted Kirstens approval badly cause everyone else had Kirstens approval and Bernadette became dangerously obsessed over the whole deal, and she invited Kirsten out that night to make friends, and I think she said something to her that went horribly wrong to Kirsten, like make a clumsy pass at her and it terrified Kirsten, and Kirsten threatened to expose it to everyone, and Bernadette just freaked out and it possible she just found the knife by chance and got scared that a secret was going to be revealed, so she went to scare her, and maybe she didnt mean to kill her, but she meant to harm her (thats a fact).

Death of a Cheerleader/A Friend to Die For, Baby Ruth candy bars & chocolates, the way they used to be years ago. No right to Murder a person. The best way is to bring bullies down a peg or a few.

Especially someone who not only blames the murder victim for her brutal murder, but also blames her innocent parents? Were you bullied and had to defend yourself and going by that with Bernadette? Social Work is in my soul Angela Delvecchio - @Ang_Delvecchio Santa Mira High School 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. Kirsten and Bernadette were both well off. What teen isnt? Mats Kirsten probaly didnt like you, dont mean she was that way to everybody. Not true, you said you knew Bernadette and Kirsten both! We had our own group, and we didnt really talk much to them, (other than hello) Some of those kids there that were misfits, hate to tell you, some of them werent Angels They dressed rough and acted (Bad) and cussed. One girl said stupid stuff that embarrassed you, and cussed all the time, and other girls who smoked or cussed, she didnt associate with them, she didnt want around them. You took the life away from this poor girl and her family. Was Bernadette fragile when she watched as two innocent girls were accused of Kirstens murder by the Orinda community? She didnt deserve to die. Im not arguing with and dont mean to appear hostile and wouldnt have bothered replying until I read that you are suggesting that you all (which I suppose includes me) sound like the people you are gossiping about. Thats a win win. I think Bernadette went about it in the wrong way. Giving our McDonalds name Dont prove you know them. I admit that 7 years was a bit brief but thats how it is when youre underage. I guess Bullying Justifies Murder, the way youre putting it, Kirsten is the real Vicitm, not Bernadette. Kirsten didnt like people who acted (Dumb) or got into trouble and cause trouble. It put a huge impact on our lives, first dealing with the loss of Kirsten, then finding out a girl we all trusted was the one responsible, that is something g that scattered our lives. Kirsten was stabbed by Protti after she was chased by him back to her house after she got out of the car because she believed something was amiss. You knew Kirsten. I feel if it was true bullying she would be afraid to be near Kirsten and these people who call Kirsten a snot and said she was a Bully and deserved it, Karens right youre the Bullies cause you know Zilch about any of this. Could of been any of those girls in that group as one girl said, they were all like Kirsten in lots of ways. Dont matter if Kirsten was a bully or the meanest girl ever, you haters on her leave her alone and let her Rest In Peace. Kirstens family and Berns family were both Well off, Bern lived in a Richer part. [citation needed], The Costas family left Orinda and moved to Hawaii in 1986.[8]. The costas still have to deal with pain and grief and it doesnt matter if she was angry nobody thought about kirsten or her family by letting bernadette get a slap on the wrist! Kirsten was always joking around. In swimming pools she would practice tumbling, one friend told about it, she would dive in the water and do back flips. I heard they ran Several girls out not just them, they Demonized one to where she had to Leave portraying her as a Tramp over some guys. I was raised to treat others with respect. She wasnt into that game. This whole story is just disgusting. Several girls in Interviews said they didnt want to be found cause there years at Miramonte wasnt the best. To much pressure is put on us, but we dont murder because of it. Why deliberately refrain from giving examples if she could have been accused of first degree murder? 86ers you want to forgive thats up to you, it would be nice if something could be worked out and you all could go back to the wya things were and not are. I feel for the Costas family. I think Kristen called Bernadette out on being a lesbian. I believe Bernadette tried to friend her, and as I read and I do believe she acted on impulse, I believe she was just so enraged she snapped and did the (unthinkable). Did you go to School with Kirsten and really know her? Kirsten wasnt Super Rich like Melrose Place, family was well off, so was Bernadettes. So she didnt like Joanna or Nancy, she isnt Obligated to, or owe them anything. I cant tell you if every single one of them get together, I know lots do. I still cant help from thinking that, but largely I think B killed K because K was blocking B from her rise in popularity. I agree with Miss Kiwi, I believe Bernadette was dangerously obsessed with Kirsten. Being disgusted that the murderer allowed two innocent girls to be accused of the murder? No matter if she was cocky or snobby; irrelevant. This type of case just proves what can happen when bullies go too far. How is that possible. Though mortally wounded, she ran to Arthur Hillmans house across the street for help. I could call you out but I wont. You cant go back in time. Oh youre so pretty and popular and amazing I think thats what Kirsten meant by her friend getting weird Then she killed her rather than have Kirsten tell everyone she was a lesbian. Born Today Most Popular Celebs Most Popular Celebs Celebrity News. I dont buy into the lesbian theory. Where are you these days? With this Virus, and now George Floyd, ( and the Riotings all over) Im deeply surprised people still are discussing Bernadette Protti on here, and other sites. Is it so hard to do without hurt someone? Maria Bernadette had it all planned, if Kirsten didnt give her the response she hoped for, she was planning to kill her.

Trouble for or Stealing maybe we could look past that. The day after the murder in June 1984, rumors had already spread at the tennis courts, down oak-shaded lanes and at poolside. Kirsten was lured out of her house under false pretences to a bobbie (sorority) dinner that didnt exist by someone she wasnt friends or even acquaintances with. In real life, it took six months for law enforcement to discover that Costas was the killer. If Kirsten was going to out Bernadette she would of told Alex Arnold all about her.
