TrendyGirl advises PennyLess to

find a part-time job.
buy things that cost less.
sell her clothes at the market.

Show answerHide answer

'Spend less' and 'second-hand shops, great prices' mean buying cheaper things. A is the opposite of 'instead of earning money'. C uses 'clothes' and 'market' but she buys, not sells (same words, wrong meaning).

try to solve the problem alone.
ask a trusted adult for help.
wait before they tell anyone.

Show answerHide answer

'Ask for help from ... an adult you can trust' is the advice. A is the opposite of 'mustn't deal with it on your own'. C describes what some victims do, which the writer says is wrong.

so that the bully can be reported with proof.
so that the bully does not send more.
