Why didn’t Maddie ask Peggy to stop teasing Wanda? What was she afraid of?

Answer:

Maddie didn’t ask Peggy to stop teasing Wanda because she didn´t want to lose Peggy’s friendship nor became the next target for her teasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maddie even wrote a note asking Peggy to stop teasing Wanda but decided not to send it out of fear of Peggy turning against her.

Maddie´s worries are based on herself being poor and getting her dresses from rich families such as Peggy´s. She´s so worried that Peggy will notice that she has her mother trim Peggy´s old dresses to make them look different.
