Lifetime should be ashamed. Maybe they were all misunderstood. I so disagree with some of the posters. The original movie featured stars like Kellie Martin and Tori Spelling. It took me 2 decades to deal with it, couldnt before. Teenage years are hard on all of us. I bet she finally became an outcast fro supporting Bernadette. Im sure Kirsten had her moments, no right to be Savagely Murdered. Did you ever stop and think that Bernadette was a fragile human being? Im sorry but I disagree. One version is that she was so good and bullied and another that she is a monster prepare to kill just like that? Thats my belief. So Mats read the Definition Sweet, it doesnt line up,with Murder. No one wanted an absence to be confused with an arrest. You took the words right out of my mouth! She was outgoing even as a nurse, but now, I hear she dont really associate with anyone outside of family. How did Kirsten push Bernadette so far? Kirsten was Snooty as well, so were the Stacys and the other Kirstens that ran with them. She didnt care wheather her mom or dad suffered, she just would not subject herself to something like suicide because she loves herself more then anyone else. And she still got a second chance at life. She watched 2 girls take the blame and did absolutely nothing about it. She only confessed cause the FBI was cornering her, and she had no where to turn to. The evidence supports nothing more than the finding of murder in the second degree. She had plenty of friends like in the film who loved her, but she cared only about superficial things, and people. She kissed the popular girls butt in order to be popular. She had a slumber party on her 15 th BD we all snuck into a pool and swam, (a fun night) and to bad she didnt get to celebrate her 16th Birthday, Art and Berit planned on taking us all to a Hotel and spend the night. Embarrassed, Angela moves her mother's arm and storms off to collect her bag. She dont remember her incidents, others embarrassed themselves by wanting to be the center of attention. Cant tell you fi shes still married. Hostile people do. Mats Kirsten probaly didnt like you, dont mean she was that way to everybody. In 1984, California's Miramonte High School cheerleader and all-around popular teen, Kirsten Costas, was murdered by her classmate Bernadette Protti, who was not only jealous of Kirsten's high-profile life but bitter and resentful that she took did not get picked for cheerleading or the yearbook committee. Thank God Im out of high school now and dont have to deal with all that social crap. I never wished for Kirsten to die like she did, that was horrible. I also was in a school where most others came from two income families and most of the parents were accountants, lawyers or doctors. This is the true story Death of a Cheerleader is based on. Some 86 graduate girls felt ridiculed and belittled by them as well as I did and others. Kirsten was very Popular, but there were a few a little more Popular, why didnt Bern go after them and befriend them, the girls on Homecoming Court, and in the Atlantis Club. Was she snotty to? Bernadette never said it in her testimony, from what I can tell. That child was a nightmare to her peers and friends (lets not forget how much she disrespected them every day). Yes. And yes Bernadette has enough problems, and theres Virus out there Worldwide that is killing people all over, and Rioters rioting in streets keeping the Virus alive, that is what the World needs to focus on today. This whole story is just disgusting. That could hurt much more than death. My School people didnt accept you, then you were out and ran out, all Schools are like that. Talking peoples business again, McDonald may not like her name being used. (Yes at times) Kirsten teased Bernadette, but they were still mutually acquainted Bernadette never could figure out why she thought she was a Bullied failure. After her release, she moved to another state and changed her name. Missy didnt start fights just stood her ground. Both girls attended Miramonte High School in Orinda, California. How? People who need to put others down to feel validated are the ones with the mental problems and theres no excuse for that type of behavior the ppl saying that this girl or any girl is ugly they need to get checked maybe they are the real lesbians lol. That was 36 years ago, and the Memory still lingers on. I knew Kirsten she was funny and adorable. Bernadette was just as nice as we were on swim team together growing up. Bridget is a shy outsider, who wants to be popular and beautiful. Her family was not the same. No there were several girls bullied, but Bernadette wasnt one. I can tell its you before I even read the first line. Bullies should get their a** whooped not killed just because they dont want to be friends with someone. She wanted to, but decided not to go through with it. Bernadette took a lie detector test as they questioned students, whose results were inconclusive, proving neither guilt nor innocence. Not true, you said you knew Bernadette and Kirsten both! I wouldnt doubt it cause thats how much she is hated in Orinda. Whos to say she hasnt Murdered again, if so, she Covered her tracks better, and probaly let an innocent person take the blame and maybe jailed for it. This is what can happen when you are a bully. Parent blaming is so ridiculous in this case but, if any parents are to blame, maybe its bernadettes . Bernadette will never escape her Image of what people have of her, no matter how Nice she becomes. Kristen had it well deserved in response to someone else, which suggests that you think her cruel murder was justified. Im sure today Ms. Stuff, D and Beauty and the Beast could still be the life of the Party if they wanted to be. How dare you? Kirsten wasnt a bully. Rubbish. You are right, (Kirsten didnt really bully Bernadette) around a friend she would throw ice at Bernadette, and tease her to show off in front of thier friend, (but girls will be girls). She made it sound like this was a drug-related murder, and it wasnt, says Berit Costas. Thisb isnt about Columbine, its about the Kirsten Costas case. You got back at her more than enough, its best to leave her alone on other sites. However, she didn't finish her nine-year sentence behind bars as she was paroled after seven years, released on June 10, 1992. I got cut off before I had a chance to say anything else. First, an assumedly innocent girl murdering her schoolmate got people by surprise. Ms Bunch and McDonald (proving I knew them) were not mean like that just self absorbed. If it hadnt have been for Bernadettes confession, this case probably would remain unsolved. Shame on you calling a dead girl names. She and D were always cracking jokes and having fun. Now thats just sad. Bet you didnt walk on Water yourself as a teen, bet you were smart Aleck, most teen girls are, and they grow out of it, dont give them the right to be killed. Cant imagine what feelings the Costas family had either. It wasnt about jealousy, the blond girl has a mental disorder. look that I think only Kellie Martin can make convincing. Kristen was a bitch (sorry, fact), who would roll her eyes at randoms and point and laugh at people. That still wasnt Kirstens fault. homely? No, it is about love, people. Some she didnt like, Usually the ones no one else (liked). So yes it sucks to be bullied, but that is no excuse for any kind of physical action. Were you bullied and had to defend yourself and going by that with Bernadette? None of those Orinda kids are even around from that time frame, as some of them are dead. They were always so nice to all of us (Kirstens friends) and I have fond memories of them, enjoyed thier home, nice home, and BTW Kirstens house wasnt any Mansion, it was beautiful Ranch home with a nice back yard, and Bernadettes house was just as nice as Kirstens if not nicer. Your point is irrelevant and has absolutely nothing to do with the case. So Mats Bernadette was Sweet. Does it make you feel good to knowingly lie about a dead murdered girl? No in the documentary where the new wave girl was actually interviewed, she ACTUALLY said I want you dead and to see your blood drip Her own words in the interview on true crime via Amazon Prime she said those EXACT words. According to her attorney, Charles James, juveniles convicted of murder in California serve an average of four to six years. Ive heard she was Bubbly and funny. That Mats Chick dont know her head from her Butt. Sheriffs investigators have only leads and a description of the woman suspected of stabbing Kirsten Marina Costas to death Saturday night, but not much else. I watched the movie again (both versions) and I have to agree with Miss Kiwi. Bernadette was prettier. A lot of murder cases they get s light sentence or aquitted, but they also get harassed by the public and media so they dont get off all the way, the media torments them. We were never the same after that, Miramonte was never the same after that. Wish someone would come back on here and tell us more about it. It all started with Bernadette inviting Kirsten to a party, which the latter was unaware of. You have no idea what you are talking about with Columbine. People are going by that. I always noticed Bernadette would give Kirsten stares and mean looks at times. Sorry about that. She still is as far as Im concerned. Whether the murder was premeditated or not, no one can really determine that, still a young girl died at the hands of Bernadette Protti, and Bernadette will have to live with that the rest of her life. Not true, analyzes yourself if they were snobs to you, probably embarrassed yourself by trying to hard to be accepted, or you were a troublemaker and a bully yourself. I live in LA and know people on the Bay Area that know all about the case, and know people who knew Kirsten, and they say the Movie was offbeatfar from Kirstens Personality. She was mean and Stuck up also. In northern italy they have blonde hair fair and blue eyes . Yes Kirsten May of been Snooty, but she was also adorable to those who knew her. Bernadette Protti also went to Miramonte High School, along with Kirsten. Kirstens friendship meant so much to her, she would go on and on about it. She dared to say she could not commit suicide because her religion would not allow it, but did not take into consideration the life of Kirstens! Would you say the same if Bernadette did suicide? Kirsten May of been Stuck up and Caddy, most teen girls are, but she got along with almost everyone, she got along with Bernadette at first, till Bernadette kept trying to be her friend. She can serve no less than one year and no more than nine until she reaches the age of twenty-five. She didnt deserve to die. Bernadette Protti is believed to have changed her name, gotten married (causing her last name to change again), and became a nurse and medical journal author in suburban Dallas (Grapevine TX). Kirsten wasnt a Bully. The movie hinted at Bernadette being gay but only a hint. Karen I read your comments n I totally agreed with you. Im not saying Kirsten was totally innocent, for it takes 2, but to Murder in Cold blood. More stood in the narthex, craning to hear the service in memory of the 15-year-old Miramonte High School student, stabbed to death near her Orinda home Saturday night. I cant assimilate anyone on the appearance to defend a so-called bullying. Most of the Bobbies were Snooty. I highly doubt I would like you either.

We should educate our children, our minds and our souls. Were not sympathizing with you, (grow up and get over it) Theyre not going to beg you to come, and if you dont want to be found cause your life was miserable, were not really interested in finding you and apologizing. She isnt outgoing like she use to be, I can see why, she has to watch over her head. She is evil and a Monster (with a very dark Soul). Kirsten was a straight A student and involved in activities, she wanted to run with top kids. But unfortunately for her all she was taught was whats the best material Possessions, popularity and the look at me attitude. Since then, she is supposed to have changed her name and left the state of California. with this Virus going around. I agree with Karen, you cant prove Kirsten bullied Bernadette. Worry about this Virus that is killing people Worldwide. You the one who told about the girls ran out of Miramonte as well. Kirsten and Bernadette were both friendly and nice girls. She called Kirsten's home while she was away and told her mother that her daughter was invited to a Bobbies' dinner, and it was a secret. Naturally, you might be wondering about where Bernadette Protti is currently. What was the most heart wrenching about this was a classmate girl was blamed and attacked by certain people for killing Kirsten, obviously she didnt. Another blog claims that Bernadette is a nurse and medical writer, well known for writing for a publicized scientific journal. Goofs If Stacy Lockwood's funeral was Catholic, it would be unlikely the priest would wear a green stole and the casket covered in purple. Missy was Described as a Bully and Very Mean also. So this murderer just gets off free after 8 years and gets to live her life because (somebody picked on her)? Missy was more toughish than Kirsten that took no crap. She probaly wanted Bernadette to leave her alone thats all. Sad. What preppy teenaged girl doesnt think shes better than the next? According to People, Protti attended her funeral just like everyone else in her school. The movie, like most movies, is no an accurate account. She also took enough courses through a local community college to graduate with an associate in arts degree. Bernadette Protti is an American of Italian descent, born on September 20, 1968. Her house was nice to,(as nice as Kirstens) so she wasnt a lonely poor girl who struggled for friends. My Son was Murders in a drug deal gone wrong. It is done and over and over 3 decades. I personally beleive Kirsten could be a smart aleck to those she didnt like, but remember most teenage girls are. I cant even begin to picture Kirsten even acting halfway like Tori Spelling did, in the new Movie the Kirsten portrayed wasnt as bad, but I dont think Kirsten was like that either. She knew what the students there would do to her. So she could never uplift Bernadette at all. Contra Costa County Sheriffs deputies were searching yesterday for a teenage girl as a suspect in the stabbing death of another girl here Saturday night. I was raised to treat others with respect. Why are you so focused on what they looked like? Im sure you knew them all. Or someone who stares at you constantly, you got a problem doing that. Landscape Suicide 1986 is the closest after Bernadettes interview with the Police it shows it. Please explain how Bernadette was pushed to the brink? Even if Kirsten was a Snot, she would of grown out of it long before now.
