confront them one at a time tell them that you wont take them picking on you and if worse comes to worse to the office and report the people making fun of you.

Midge agony auntEver heard the saying "dynamite comes in small packages", well trust me it does.

I was made fun of as a kid of your age because I was tiny. I was thin and scrawney, I could run but then find I would trip over my own feet so it gave them a little extra to laugh about. Then one day I had a growth spurt. I went from being 3 foot something to being almosts 6 foot tall. This happened over about 4-5 years. Who's laughing then? Not them. Me!

I became athletic, picked up a little weight and became strong and muscular to play sport. I was captain of the hockey team and eventually started playing ice hockey. No-one dared laugh at me then because I was better at sport then them.

As hard as it is just now, dont pay any attention to what people say. You WILL have a growth spurt in the next couple of years and then it will be you laughing at them.

well ignore them and don't let them get you down, or you can do something about it like improving your physical appearance in eating more healthy and including exercise for instance playing your favorite sport for an hour.

As hard as it sounds just ignore it. Everyone who wants to make fun of someone will find something to make fun of. If your tall short fat thin skinny athletic smart dumb blonde redhead... It never ends. Just let it go in one ear and out the other. In high school I was known as the slut because I was blonde and big boobed. I knew (when it started) that I had never had sex. Later I met the love of my life and we lost our viginities together and have been together ever since. Those same girls that talked crap are either all teen moms or have had 5 or more sexual partners. Everything comes back full circle. So just be who you are and dont be ashamed.
