"I need advice on dealing with toxic bullies at my high school."

"I need some advice. I’ve been dealing with a group of people at school who claimed to be my friends, but they are actually just toxic classmates. They’ve been bullying me in really cruel ways, like spreading mean rumors that I have bad hygiene—even though I shower daily and wear perfume. They’ve gone as far as pulling their chairs away from me to isolate me, and they have the nerve to tell me that they ‘have to tolerate me.’ Their disrespect is constant and it’s affecting me a lot. How do I handle this and stop letting their toxic words get to me?"
