I don't know how to start this, but basically I work as an assistant for 2 IGCSE/AL teachers, I work as a chemistry, biology OL assistant and also an A2 biology assistant for another teacher, i am currently in a gap year and saving up money for myself for college to help me a bit.

Anyways, I met some IGCSE students at a chemistry class who thought I was cool, and wanted to be my friends, despite i am older than them by a year (I finished my IGCSE/ALs a year early) so I gave it a shot, and became their friend, we hung out alot and we were having fun.

After some time they started belittling me in a way that I didn't suspect, like for example i took 8 OLs and 4 ALs, I barely scored 9s in all my OLs, and I had to retake an AL in my 4 ALs, and I scored in 3 of them a high A, and one of them an A*, they made fun of how I barely scored 9s in my OLs claiming that anything less than 9 is embarrassing, and made fun of my 3 ALs (which I was proud of since I took all of them in one session), and they were making fun of my interests but in a "friendly way" as they claim. I let it go since we were newly friends even tho if anyone of my other friends did that, i wouldn't have let it go.

Today, was different, I took a break from a chemistry/biology session today since I was traveling with family, and one of them called me asking about the homework even tho they knew I was traveling and they had other assistant responsible for them not me, I replied saying that I didn't know, and I would contact the teacher and tell them, then he called me a bad slur, I held my composure, and replied saying I am in a public area, don't let me let it out on u, and hung up on him.

After like an hour or a half an hour, they were talking on the gc, so I hopped on and talked with them, then they brought up the hw again, i replied saying i asked some assistants there to ask the teacher, and I also asked the teacher myself and waiting for his reply since he was currently in a session. They then started going on about how I am useless and what's my purpose if I can't tell them the homework, I told them that they could have asked the teacher after the class had finished about the homework instead of waiting, they told me that they forgot and they were leaving, I replied saying then it's your fault also for not asking. Then they went on about how I am underpaid with that teacher and started making fun of me that I am working as a "slave" for him and If I worked in McDonald's cleaning toilets, I would have made much more money (they know that I make double what a Mcdonald employee makes from both teachers) and started making fun of the major I wanted to enter (medicine) saying that I would stay like 10 years studying and starting making fun of me because of that, I was honestly flabbergasted, and of course not to mention that in between all of this, there was name calling and so on. They started saying that I could do better with my time, and I do nothing (I Go to the gym regularly, I am learning German, i am learning computer science and also kickboxing, they know all of that) and when I pointed out what i do, they made fun of it.

I at the end left the qc, and one of them texted me saying that I am making a big deal out of nothing and that's how they "joke" with eachother. And I told him to leave me alone. And another one "apologized" but then said that I am also making a big deal and that's how they joke.

I can't sleep because of this (especially that I am suffering from insomnia), so AITAH?

TLDR: my friends made fun of my work and my profession, called me names and incompetent, and now i amnot talking to them and they r calling me dramatic.
