Suicide Pact: Haylee Fentress And Paige Moravetz Commit Suicide At Slumber Party

[Hellsbells]

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.

Haylee's aunt, Robin Settle, said the girl had recently moved to the rural town of Lynd, Minn., 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

Settle said that her niece, Haylee, had been the victim of bullying after moving to Minnesota from Indiana with her mother and 8-year-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 didn't fit in."

Even though Haylee wasn't severely overweight, she was so uncomfortable about her size that she rarely ate in public at school, Settle said

Paige was Haylee's closest friend.

"They were best friends. Haylee started school here about a year ago and over the course of the year, they'd become best friends," said Brett Behnke, Paige's uncle.

Paige played hockey and was teaching Haylee to skate, Behnke said.

"She had a big, round face and a smile that's 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 Paige's last name.

Haylee was recently expelled from school for defending Paige during a fight in school, Settle said

The girls died three days after Paige's mother and stepdad left for a 10-day vacation to Hawaii. Paige spent the night at Haylee's home.

Sometime after 1 a.m. on Saturday, Haylee left a Facebook post for her cousin, Jessica, wishing her a happy birthday. After leaving a post on her cousin's wall, Haylee called her closest friend in Indiana, Settle said. Around 6 a.m., Haylee's mother found the girls.

"They did hang themselves. My sister found them. She's a medical assistant. She attempted to resuscitate them," Settle said.

Those efforts to resuscitate the girls failed.

Haylee's letter was to her mother and detailed plans for her funeral, Settle said.

"She requested everything pink and princess and butterflies," Settle said.

She couldn't stand people to be made fun of, tortured, teased. She stood up for the underdogs and she was one herself," Settle said.

How incredibly sad. I have so much sympathy for kids who don't feel like they fit in or who get bullied unmercifully. These two had found each other, though. They weren't entirely alone and without friends. Would that they could have propped each other up instead of making a suicide pact.

And WTF about all this:

Haylee was recently expelled from school for defending Paige during a fight in school, Settle said

The girls died three days after Paige's mother and stepdad left for a 10-day vacation to Hawaii. Paige spent the night at Haylee's home.

What about the kids fighting? Did all of them get suspended or just Haylee? Was this recent enough that Paige's parents were gone when it happened?

Why didn't Paige's family take her? Where was she staying while they were gone? (I mean, was it just one night at Haylee's or was she there for the duration of her parent's vacation?) Was this child feeling abandoned by her family, too?

I'm entirely alone and without friends...but I believe in revenge, not quitting.

I was reading through the comments left on some of the news articles and it's amazing how many people are commenting on how it's the parents fault for being in Hawaii without their daughter. Seriously?

Maybe the kid didn't want to go, or maybe it was a romantic getaway just for adults...nothing wrong with that. We had family vacations growing up but my parents also took vacations by themselves for anniversarys and such. I don't see the big deal.

Sounds like she was the only one expelled

...Yet their troubles at school recently boiled over. Paige got into a fight. Haylee stepped in to defend her and was expelled. Naturally, the bullied kid was the one booted from school.

They looks like pretty, normal teens, not people likely to be cast out. But knowing people, it could have been any lame bullshit reason. I had to have been the least liked student after moving to Gallia. People there are entirely weird. From 3-9 I was probably singled out more than anyone. But I see some of them now, fat, bald, or just looking a lot older than their years. And here I am, a beautiful swan. Fuck a bunch of teenage haters. They're mad because they know high school is the highlight of their lives.
