There are a group of people at my work who have been hating on me lately. It's gotten to the point that I just don't even want to go to work anymore. They will walk by me, call me names, talk about me and spread nasty rumors about me... What should I do? Please help!

If it is a smaller company, then what you can do really depends on whether there is anyone above the people who are giving you a hard time. If there is a supervisor who isn't part of this group, discuss it with them. They aren't interested in having a cliche of girls take over their place of business.
Sometimes this doesn't work though. My first job was with a little local camera store. The guys there were terribly inappropriate, constantly making sexual comments to me and saying all sorts of awful things about me when I refused to date them. The problem was that there was only one person above them (the store manager), and she basically laughed and told me to grow a pair. Well, there was an assistant manager, but he was too busy talking about computer animated porn and being a loser to do anything. Yes, it was a perfect case for a sexual harassment suit, but I just quit and found a better job. It was retail, so nobody cared much about a spotless work history.
So talk to the higher ups and start sending out resumes, because even if the bullies start to behave under duress, it is just going to buy you time to pack your things and find a different job.
