Well, this is more of an opinion based question, right?

I would either, a, find another person who's not taking it and stay away from the people who are. B, find an authority figure, in this case a counselor, or an older person. or C, try and find someone to make sure you're safe, and the next morning, tell someone what's going on. 

I hope this helped.
