Set boundaries. Do not let people treat you like crap.

What do your co-workers do? gang up, spread rumors etc is it an attitude problem in their body language and not listening to you? how do you feel about telling a senior member to have a word to them or do you think it would escalate matters? People act like pack animals at times, its easier to pick on the one they see as the weakest than be picked on by the group themselves so as SwordDancer has said you have to put your foot down and set the boundaries not them.

If you've tried the nice approach and they ignored you taking them aside to talk one on one about their attitude then you will have to get tough. You could try to ignore but the chances are if its a group of colleagues acting badly it won't go away on its own without your saying something so they realize to back off and grow up.

If you can...use an MP3 player and listen to mellow happy music during the day all that you can. I had a very stressful project that U2 totally got me through ;-P Good Luck!
