520    The death of a child is a tragedy. When the cause is 
       suicide, the tragedy is compounded. It's not easy to read 
       about, or talk about, and yet it is so crucial that young 
       adults who feel the world closing in know that ending 
       their lives is not the answer. There are people who can 
       help. There are people who care. A thirteen year old 
       should be enjoying life, planning her future, anticipating
       the joys to come. Instead, and sadly for all who knew her,
       Hailee Joy Lamberth, chose a permanent solution to a 
       temporary problem. Hailee was an A student, bubbling with 
       enthusiasm and love for life. She danced, wrote poems, and
       attended classes for gifted students. She loved playing 
       with her little brother, Jacob. They'd play hide and seek 
       and she'd always hide in the same place so that Jacob 
       would find her. But her favorite interaction with Jacob 
       was when they rode the Ferris wheel together and got stuck
       at the top. Jacob was afraid, but Hailee reassured him. 
       "We're practically in heaven," she tells him. "Well if we 
       die," Jacob says, "At least we'll be together." When she 
       was twelve years old, the bullying began. First it was a 
       boy in math class who seemed to have a crush on her. When 
       she rebuffed him, he started sending her mean notes, 
       calling her names, and spreading rumors about her. Then it
       was a girl in P.E. who would crash into her when no one 
       was looking. Hailee tried to avoid the bullies. She 
       decided to drop out of the math class. She made excuses to
       her parents in order to escape, and her parents believed 
       her. They didn't know that her life was becoming 
       unbearable. By the end of the school year, Hailee had 
       begun to cut herself. It was her way of coping with the 
       constant degradation. She overachieved in school in order 
       to keep her parents from asking too many questions. A kid 
       who is bullied often becomes an expert liar. In seventh 
       grade, the bullying increased, growing like a cancer. 
       Hailee kept up appearances to protect her parents and 
       brother, but inside she was suffering. Two days after her 
       thirteenth birthday, she succumbed to the pain. Hailee's 
       parents have decided to not allow her death to be in vain.
       By working with Zuiker Press to tell Hailee's story as if 
       she were able to tell it herself, they hope reach out to 
       other young people in crisis, and show them that they do 
       have options -- and to prevent them from bringing the 
       excruciating pain of suicide to their families.
