Youknow...I'm not even going to look at the other comments on here.
I studied Pedagogic Work, for three years. I know the cognitive behaviour, the reason this girl bullied is obvious.
By putting her down (by introducing the awesome Thriftshop as a punishment) you're A. ruining the thriftshop-option for her and B. you risk for her to get bullied, not because of the clothes, but because she's being bossed around by her mom.
If you, instead of making her even more insecure, HADN"T raised her as a fashionista in the first place, she wouldn't be a bully.
If you get her help for the problem she's compensating, than everything will be solved. Thriftshops have awesome clothes, it won't solve her 'fashionista'-problem there. Also, don't introduce it as a punishment, rather as a good solution for spending too much money on clothes.
THAT is my advice as a licensed Pedagogic Worker. Whether you think this works or not, this would've worked better.

Well, they say women are seen as more vulnerable, but I think they mainly meant, 'safer.'
I've went up to a homeless person plenty of times, to give money, food or bottles with 'credit' on it (youknow, if you bring them back to the store.)
And it has gone wrong a couple of times, where the man stood up, started cursing and threw the bottle away, demanding more money. Or throwing the food back at me and saying; 'Money, I asked for fucking money!'
In comparison to that, the women are "annoying" when you hand them something. They make sobbing crying noises or fall on the floor and beg for móre food once you hand them the food.
But at last they don't jump up or scream in your face.
TLDR: I feel it's safer to approach a homeless woman. It might not make a difference in facts, but I think that's the reason people acted quicker.

THIS IS THE OATH THEY SWORE WHEN THEY STARTED THEIR JOB:
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:...
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures which are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

I was told I could not light a match, but mom/dad would help me, at age 5.
I was told I could light a match if mom/dad were around, at age 8. Under supervision.
I was told I could light a match on my own, if mom/dad were home at 12.
If I was taught how to light a match at age 5, I would've set the house on fire for certain.
Keep the matches away from the kids, untill they're old enough (in the eyes of the Americans, that is) to be confronted with weaponry.
Ideally...don't teach them untill they have been through puberty, I'd say.
But sure, I don't have a government with corrupt police or a country with harddrugproblems and paranoid people, so what do I know about living in fear?
I don't know about living in fear, I live in the Netherlands, my life is paradise. My cops are loving, trustworthy people, there is no weaponry, no terrorism and nobody dies because of healthcarebills they can't afford.
So, do what you need to do to feel safe in America. And good luck to everyone.

I wanted to watch Ariel when I was younger. Never seen Alladin and didn't like Tiana, because she was a frog for most of the time.
It didn't make me racist. What did influence me, was when my teacher said; 'If you ever want to comment on a black persons hair, and you're not sure if they'll take it as a compliment, don't say anything.' She added; 'Don't mention a black persons skincolour, ever. Don't mention Asian's eyes, ever. Don't comment if you think it could be construed as racist or insensitive.
I asked; 'But what about white kids, can I (friendly) joke about their skin and hair?' She said; 'White kids can handle that, yes. But never say anything about it to a black kid.'
She ended with; 'If you ever feel like your comment can be insensitive, say nothing at all. Just play with the white kids then. Don't risk insulting the black or asian kids.'
So I played with the white kids. And it wasn't until I was 12, that I made friends with a Turkish girl, terribly frightened I would insult her in the first few months, until I learned that minorities aren't made of sugar.

To be honest, it frightens me how everyone of you is making fun of this.
Picking up litter is a serious crime. It's been done by many people, all over the world (usually hippies, the allknown worst merciless criminals of them all) and has a big effect on the environment.
I'm not kidding, if everyone were to pick up trash, that'd have an effect on birds, fish, foxes, rabbits, the sea-creatures, the land-creatures, the humans even.
What he was doing, had an effect on each and every one of us. Everyone was benefitting from that, whether they wanted clean pavement or not!
And thát's why it's so important.

@fathersiren9914
You're asking me if I felt safe when I had a knife, if the assault/robber also has a knife. And then you state; A gun is safer because you can keep the criminal at distance.'
Yeah but if the criminal has a gun..then what? Then he can hold me at gunpoint. And shoot me if I reach for my bag/hip/arm to get the gun.
I'll tell you, my country doesn't have legal carrying, only cops have that and they are trustworthy ones.
People can own guns in my country, but the rules are strict and assault rifles are not allowed.
For this reason, we haven't had schoolshootings (even though we are stuffed together like sardines...18 million people on a surface the size of HALF of South-Georgia) and the crime-rates are at an all time low. It's never been this safe in the Netherlands, in Amsterdam. We've got 4 times less rape and 3 times as fewer murders as the USA, in proper comparison.
If you háve a gun, you'll use it. We don't have them, so we don't use them.
The reason I brought religion into this, is because the guy is preaching about his gun, but instead of trusting that God will take care of things and instead of practicing the Christian values (which he suggests he does) he is ready to commit one of the biggest sins.
I'm not suggesting I am a strict believer, because I'm not, but the guy that I am talking about (the gun preacher) is a very strict Christian, or so he seems to think.
So that's why I think he's a hypocritical ass.
