What system could the school even have? They referred you to counseling, that’s all they can do.

Bullying is a fact of life, unfortunately. And dental school is a pressure cooker.

Either power through or take a leave of abscence. You’ll be on the other side soon.

Agree with the support group.

If you do bad dentistry with your license, patients will not only be talking behind your back, but will also report you to the board.

Lawyers won't care if you have cancer and did bad dentistry on your patients.

If bullying crosses into “harassment”, or anything physical, then I think it is reasonable for the school to discipline the students involved or for OP to involve the police or a lawyer to determine if the school is negligent.

If it is just that no one likes OP, I 100% agree.

The bigger question is when you face this in your work environment from peers, subordinates, and patients, how will you handle the stresses of those often unfair social situations? Dentistry requires thick skin as most patients don't want to see you besides for routine maintenance. Imagine being in a work environment where a lot of people don't want to be there but have to be there, not because of who you are as a person, but because of previous experiences, stigma, and so on....

Prove them wrong and succeed. That's the best you can do. The cherry on top is if you can make more money than all your classmates and whoever is bullying you.
