You don't want a solution - you want to make the problem worse, because the worse I have it, the easier it is for you and your friends to prey upon me.
People vowed in my childhood to make sure everyone rejected me to isolate me, alienate me, and "farm" me for every resource I could get while trying to keep all resources away from me to get me to break down and submit to their slavery.
I do, because as a kid I was treated very similarly simply because I was unlucky enough to have been born dark complected. When I tried to get help from teachers, my relatives used every trick in the book to try to have me committed as a kid or jailed as an adult to discredit and silence me. Just so they could keep drug dealing and keep their money. I actually and unironically have went through something very similar to you.
What you went through is common believe it or not. You're not alone.
