Talk to your superior. If its the superior doing the bullying, talk to their superior. If nothing is done, you talk to the CEO or general manager. As a last resort there should be an appropriate outside body that will be able to follow up your case, and help with things such as counselling, referrals and getting compensation if needed.

You should try to take the matter up with the HR department if its of verbal/sexual/psychological/physical kind and file a formal complaint against the parties involved.

You need to tell someone, or you can ignore them. You can also, avoid them, distract yourself;f from them. Whatever you do, don't believe what they say about you. It is not true, they just want to bring you down.

this is intimidation, and what better way of turning that off than too shine at your work, pretty much don't let that get to you. And you will intimidate them

This is definitely a matter you can take up with your boss. Let him know that some of your coworkers are being unprofessional and inappropriate as it is probably in the guidelines or rules of the company that any kind of harassment, including bullying, is prohibited. I would definitely bring that up to someone.

Try talking to the people who you feel are bullying you, communicate how you feel and make sure that it's reasonable too. If not, you might want to talk to your manager or a boss.

You should let them no that whatever they're doing to you is not okay and report it to your boss. If that doesn't work, then you should look into getting a lawyer and prepare for a lawsuit.

Contact your boss tell them exactly what is happening. They wouldn't be happy to find out that their workers are being rude.

You have every right to be treated fairly at work - remember, you don't deserve to be bullied; nobody does. If you can, speak to your supervisor or manager - someone at work whom you can trust. They should be able to stop the bullying and ensure your safety and happiness at work. If not, you can talk to a work union or even the police if the bullying has become very detrimental to you.

I think you should totally put a stop to it before it gets to you. You should stand up for yourself before it gets worse.
