I cared way too much what other people thought of me. But sometimes you can't let other people get to you. for example i was in a similar situation at work. There were a few gossipy co workers and while we were at a meeting i noticed that whenever i would ask a question they would start laughing at me. I realized later on that they did this because they knew it bothered me.
My advice is to just be yourself and don't worry about what other people say about you. Remember they're jealous and insecure, and they want to see how much they can hurt you. Whenever they're mean to you just smile at them. Kill them with kindness. It always works. You should also write down all the qualities you have on a piece of paper to help your self-confidence. Good luck. I hope i helped.

If it's guys maybe they like you ,maybe you show that you care about how much they hurt you , this makes them do it more. Just ignore it and walk away don't let it get to you , your better then them. Plus , there will be a lot more people there since your going into freshman MEANING NOT many of them are going to go and harass you , if they do go to the councillor , tell a friend , or your parents or something , you can't leave it like this because it will get worse and you need help. Please do something. Just do what you can do best. My advice for you is go and see what happens , if they still do even though all that time , I really want you to go and tell someone , you can't let that be a problem for you .
