Two Eight Graders Hanged Themselves In Their School Slumber Party

Two best friends named Haylee Fentress and Paige Moravetz committed suicide at their school slumber party in Minnesota recently because they were bullied by fellow students. Both the girls were eight graders at Marshall Middle School. Their hanged bodies were discovered in the school early in the morning.

Police believe they had a suicide pact. It seems that the girls had planned their suicide for a long time and had left proper goodbye letters telling their families that they loved them. They even left funeral details in their goodbye notes.

Haylee had often complained to her family that ever since she moved to the new town she felt ostracized and bullied.

In the last one year, Haylee made one best friend and that was Paige Moravetz. Paige was spending time in Haylee's home as her mother and step dad had gone for a 10 day vacation to Hawaii.

It is always sad to read such stories because bullying is a never ending story. Kids and even adults are bullied all the time. There are a lot of people who are unable to face the pressure and get so hurt in the process that they can no longer continue their lives. These girls had not even seen the real life and they ended up finishing their lives so soon.

It is interesting to see that although quite a few kids end their lives due to bullying every year but still not enough precautions are taken to prevent such things from happening. And bullies feel victorious all the time since bullies are never ever caught.

Bullied Teens Dead

I read this sad piece on msn updates. It was about this teenage girl in Ohio, Sladjana Vidovic who was bullied at school so badly that eventually she ended up committing suicide in 2008. She hung herself to death by jumping off outside her bedroom window and tying the rope against the bed post. Her sister and family saw her hanging there dead. And obviously their lives have never remained the same since then.

She was 16. Apparently, the family had shifted from Croatia. The bullies at Mentor High School made fun of her accent, called her Slutty Jana or Slut-Jana-Vagina, threw food at her. In her time at Mentor High School, she was pushed off the stairs by a boy, smacked on the face by a bottle, received calls that she would wake up dead in the morning, told they will see her after school and much more.

Her friend at school said, she did use to stand up but eventually lost strength of fighting back with the non stop insults. Her parents complained to the management at school but nothing happened. They could not control the bullies. In fact, two years after her death, they have no records of complaints and they claim they lost track due to change in hardware.

Her sister remembers how the bitchy bullies came to her casket and laughed at how she looked even after she had died.

However, this was not the first incident. 4 teens had committed suicided at Mentor High School due to the on going, un-monitored bullies. Another boy, Eric Mohat was bullied and constant told that he was gay. He too committed suicide.

These two families are filing a case against the school. They have suffered and their kids suffered even more. I hope they get justice for their kids. Such incidents are very common. Bullies are out there all the time every where. Imagine how these sucky bullies will turn out to be as adults. Very dirty scoundrels.
