Rant about the "Apprentice Life"

I'm a 22 year old guy 6 months into my auto sparky apprenticeship. It's been going well so far and I enjoy the work but have been getting more pissed off at some of my coworkers and boss recently. Yeah this is just part of being the apprentice but I'm CONSTANTLY being fucked with. It's just small things. I'm constantly the butt of every joke. It's like I'm a joker clown who's only there to provide everyone else amusement. Yeah I'm being taught stuff but still...

I take it pretty well. I went to an all boys school and grew up playing rugby, and I've literally grown up around these kinds of people, and I'm friends with people like this outside of work. Its just our culture. Whenever they fuck with me I laugh it off and they come up to me with a big smile and pat on the back. BUT still it's really starting to piss me off. At the end of the day I'm there to learn. I want to start my own business one day, and I'm passionate about this and trying to take my job seriously. They've never hit me or punched me or anything but still

Also when one of my 22 year old mates fucks with me I call him a cunt and laugh it off, but when theres a bunch of 40+ year old men fucking with me, it feels really different. Its like grow TF up, im there to learn how to be a great auto sparky not a fucking clown to have the piss taken out of for months on end.... i can deal with it a little bit all in good fun but when it goes on for months its just annoying
