I believe I will pray for you to have strength.
Just take this really slowly...small steps. If they want you to do something you find offensive. SAY SO. "Sorry, I can't do that because I'm a Christian and [insert thing here] would be wrong." OR, if they are telling jokes that demean others say "Hey guys, that's not really funny, you are hurting him/her." Standing your moral ground is a strong witness. You don't have to hit them over the head with a bible. They might just respect you for it and want to know where this strength comes from. Of course, you might get ridiculed, too. Well, if you are going to be a strong witness, you might need to get used to being put down, too.
