Are your parents supportive? I think they should call the school and ask what actions are being taken against the boys in this case. I don’t think they’ll ever respect you, but a persistent focus on this could I think make it not worth the while to do this during school hours. I could understand being loathe to do this for fear of repercussions outside of school though. Still, you seem very brave, and I think that pursuing this further might be a good thing for you, your school, and the kids themselves, who could find themselves on the other side of a lawsuit when they enter the workforce.

This is a civil rights issue; if you can prove that the environment in your school is preventing you from getting your public education, there is often recourse. Without any explicit protection from hate crimes or anti-bullying legislation, there are still options for legal action. Sometimes you can force a school system to pay for a private tutor; this costs big bucks, so schools who don’t give a rat’s ass about social justice will often come around and do something when you threaten to hit them in the pocketbook.

It’s never a good idea to start a conversation by talking about suing someone or filing suit, but knowing that that is an option can inform your family’s negotiations with the school, and it exists as a final resort.

Good luck!
