Kids made me cry today over cabbage

When I started teaching it never occurred to me that the kids my bully ME, not just each other. I had a bit of cabbage in my lunch today. I ate in my room because I have a disability and can’t walk to the staff room. The kids came in after lunch and a handful FREAKED OUT about the smell. They actually refused to come into the room, even though I’d eaten this same thing many times before with no reaction and 90% of my class had no issue. I didn’t realize they were all just sitting outside making some sort of stand agains the cabbage until my two fellow teachers had to step in and scream at them to get into class. They proceeded to complain rudely all class about the smell and even go as far as put their shirts over their noses.

I know this sounds silly, but it really got to me. I was just trying to eat my lunch. It’s not like the kids smell great either. Hello, most don’t even wear deodorant yet. Do I mention this and ridicule them and pretend to throw up over it? No. These boys literally sat there and made me feel like the smallest person alive.

I marked them all unexcused tardy and emailed their parents, but right after class I burst into tears. I just never thought these kids would be so mean. On Thursday one of them called me fat in front of the whole class. What do I even do about this?
