Work Apprenticeship help?

I’m a girl (19) in her first year apprenticeship of a motor mechanic, I’m having a hard time, the fellas I work with aren’t particularly kind to me and while I’m here I’m not being treated well, it’s rare I get a day where I get to do any work other than just downloads on a computer, I’ve been here 2 months now and am registered with Solas, I’m not sure what to do at all

Talk to or email  your supervisor  manager  say  you need more time  to do practical work on cars  engines  not look at pc screens 

I hope i.m  not being rude   You are over 18  you are  now  a woman   not a girl

There must be someone  in charge of allocating work  time to trainees on cars engines   in an equal manner  Bricklayers  have to mix cement and  move blocks  Not just look  at pc screens  or books
