If this had happened to me 20 years ago, my parents and teachers would have said, "you are too sensitive, you need to ignore it". This may have been said to me in front of the perpetrators. Then I would be reminded that I must be careful regarding my behaviour, I must not place the reputation of the school in disrepute.
