I don’t want to give any private info but I have a sibling that nearly became an OTD (Off the derech) because of being in a school with bad boys and he had one Rebbe who was a disaster. Take my advice, if you are in a bad environment RUN. That is one of the messages we learn in parshas Korach. Oy Lerasha Oy Leshcheino, woe to the evil one and woe to his neighbor.

If you are in a bad environment YOU WILL certainly be negatively influenced. You must do everything you can to switch schools. Do whatever it takes, speak to your Rav/Rebbetzin if think theres a chance they can help you, and anyone else who you think can be an ally. Take my word for it, I’m older and have been through all of this already. Environment is the most important thing. Its so easy to get pulled down by negative influences. You owe it to yourself and your future to switch out of there.
