Maddie thought her silence was as bad as Peggy’s teasing. Was she right?
Peggy was Maddie’s best friend who used to make fun of Wanda by asking her how many dresses she had. Maddie did not like it but she stood by silently as she did not have the courage to stop Peggy in the fear of losing her friendship with Peggy. Wanda had to leave the school and the town because of teasing and Maddie felt very bad about it. Therefore, she was right in thinking that her silence was as bad as Peggy’s teasing because it was a quiet support to Peggy in her wrong deeds.
