I've had some awful jobs, and my last one was being a server too. At some jobs I coped with it by being plastered my whole shift. However I wouldn't recommend that if you have to carry dishes full of steaming hot food.
You're going to find people like your customers in any job where you work with the public. Its inevitable. People are assholes and for some reason, they think they can treat service people like shit. I have no idea why. You'd think common sense would tell them not to be rude to the waiter lest he spit in your food! After having these types of jobs you walk away a better person- I was always really kind and patient with working people after that because I know how much shit they have to deal with.
So your options are, obviously, either quit and find a new job, work in the bar when you're 21 (I'm not sure how it works where you live, but here you can't serve alcohol until you're 21), or suck it up and realize that you make alot of money doing this because of the extra crap you have to deal with. That's really all you can do.
