HAYLEE FENTRESS 14YRS PAIGE MORAVETZ 14YRS (KB-Committed Suicide Due To Being Bullied) SUICIDE PACT: MINNESODA TEENS HAILRY FENTRESS & PAIGE MORAVETZ COMMIT SUICIDE AT SLUMBER PARTY DUE TO BEING BULLIED April 20th, 2011 Haylee Fentress and Paige Moravetz, both eighth graders at Marshall Middle School in southwest Minnesota, were found together in a home in Island Lake Township, around 6:30 AM. Saturday, April 16th, 2011. Two 14yr old girls left a note saying goodbye to friends and family before taking their own lives. A slumber party in Minnesota ended in tragedy when two eighth grade girls fulfilled a suicide pact, killing themselves and leaving behind suicide notes telling their families that they loved them. The bodies of best friends Haylee Fentress and Paige Moravetz, both 14, were discovered Saturday by Fentress mother, Tracy Morrison. Haylees aunt, Robin Settle, said the girl had recently moved to the rural town of Lynd, Minnesoda and had complained to her family that she felt ostracized and bullied. Settle also said there are indications that the girls had planned their deaths for a long time, even including funeral details in a good-bye note. Im shocked and Im mad and Im sad...I dont understand the mentality of kids torturing other kids, kids having to go through this. They dont think they have anywhere to go to, Settle said. Settle said that her niece, Haylee, had been the victim of bullying after moving to Minnesoda from Indiana with her mother and 8yr old brother. She was made fun of for being overweight, her red hair, Settle said. She posted on my Facebook wall that she really wanted to come back...that the people were mean and cruel and she didnt fit in. Even though Haylee wasnt severely overweight, she was so uncomfortable about her size that she rarely ate in public at school, Settle said. Paige was Haylees closest friend. They were best friends. Haylee started school here about a year ago and over the course of the year, theyd become best friends, said Brett Behnke, Paiges uncle. Paige played hockey and was teaching Haylee to skate, Behnke said. She had a big, round face and a smile thats intoxicating, just a charmer, Behnke said of his niece. The two girls were so close, Haylee had hyphenated her last name on Facebook to include Paiges last name. Haylee was recently expelled from school for defending Paige during a fight in school, Settle said. That was really weighing on her, missing her friends and being excluded from school. She felt like she was defending herself and her friend, Settle said. Minnesota Teens Leave Behind Suicide Notes The girls died three days after Paiges mother and stepdad left for a 10-day vacation to Hawaii. Paige spent the night at Haylees home. Her and Paige got really close. I think theyve had this plan for some time, Settle said. Sometime after 1 AM, Haylee left a Facebook post for her cousin, Jessica, wishing her a happy birthday. After leaving a post on her cousins wall, Haylee called her closest friend in Indiana, Settle said. Around 6 AM., Haylees mother found the girls. They did hang themselves. My sister found them. Shes a medical assistant. She attempted to resuscitate them, Settle said. Those efforts to resuscitate the girls failed. The girls also left behind letters. She just didnt want anybody to be sad for her. She wanted everybody to pray for her and thats the gist of it, Behnke said of Paiges note. Haylees letter was to her mother and detailed plans for her funeral, Settle said. She requested everything pink and princess and butterflies, Settle said. She was actually one of the most giving loving girls you would ever meet... She just loved everyone unconditionally...She couldnt stand people to be made fun of, tortured, teased. She stood up for the underdogs and she was one herself, Settle said. If you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected...It is your duty to report it!
