showing them it gets to you is only encouraging them.
Seriously have you ever heard of the poker face.
If not google it, it will help
Secondly we all go through it dont bother getting annoyed, they are 12 years old and developing there opinions is going to be a part in that, whatever they are saying is probably more of a attention seeking stratergy that anything else.
Ask them if everything at schools okay, if they like the way they look e.g.
If notwhy not tell them that you do not like to be spoke to in that way say why as well, try to connect with them my taking a interest in their hobbies and interests.
If you are at you wits end have tried all of the above insult them back not in a nasty way though e.g. they might say i dont like your hair, just tell them theres isnt so great either, but only when they do it to you!!
GOOD LUCK
