How do I get people to stop fucking tailgating?!

Every single time im on the road people follow me super close and I live in the country. 9/10 times there is nobody in front of me and they could just fucking go around me but they don't. I drive the speed limit, sometimes 2-3 over. I don't have my license yet, just my permit, so whenever I'm being tailgated I start panicking and thinking oh my god I'm gonna get rear ended and then I'm gonna get run off the road, there's nothing but trees around, I'm gonna hit a tree and murder my mom because she's in the car with me. I'm just petrified that a deer is gonna run out in front of me (deer are extremely common in my area) and I'll get rear ended by these big ass pickup trucks and everyone will die and it'll be all my fault
