Theres no excuse for murder. I had an English class with Kirsten and her friends, we were all put in pairs in order to read off as part of a project, Kirsten and them just acted as though I was invisible and everyone in our group (but me) got to read a part. 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. No excuse for what she did, BTW she was not the poor White trash the Movie deployed her to be, she had a nice home, and was just as well off as Kirstens family, lived on the better side of town. So dont feel Sorry for her. Look inwards and think with consideration before you speak. Probally Berns Relatives saying all that, or, very close friends. Deadly Women portrayed Kirsten differently, she was kind of like that, but cut up more and more bouncier. By the time she reached Miramonte, Kirsten was in the clique that counted the loud crowd, some kids called it. But you are not making her case by behaving like a bully yourself.

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. You are still getting that she was a bully from the movie where they changed everyones name because they werent doing a real version. You want to defend your friend and so you should but once you start calling names and trampling over the comments of others you single yourself out as a bully. Think of what youre sayingfragile ppl dont turn to homicide. Poor bernadette seemed very vulnerable and in need of help. Maybe others didnt think so, but to many said she was. Kirsten didnt hate anyone, (as for Dee) she didnt like the way she acted thats all. More like a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model than a Playboy type.. Bernadette is still a Pathetic Loser, and always will be. She didnt give examples because she wasnt bullied by Kirsten. Everyone loved my friends because they were funny and not rich. She has Mental issues and always will. You are full of it. And Sarah saying Kirsten got what she deserved. Why deliberately refrain from giving examples if she could have been accused of first degree murder? What preppy teenaged girl doesnt think shes better than the next?

We all had enemies and faults and all teen girls are Caddy and mean at some point, no reason to die, they outgrow it in adulthood, most do anyways, some never do. It's just another notch in your gun belt. Kirsten never got to Cheer, go to Prom, Graduate or go on to College. She was released the following year. Kirsten wasnt a bully at all. Bernadette rang Kirstens mother to invite Kirsten to a non existent sorority dinner. It weirded Kirsten out.
