Why do they make fun of me?

I had been a little bit offbeat, and “socially awkward” through middle school. I was quite plump, with braces and bushy eyebrows, and a mane of hair that jutted out all over the place no matter how much I tried to brush it. More to my disadvantage, I was quite socially inept, and had trouble making eye contact..and thus, made an excellent subject of ridicule at times. I was so self-conscious, and felt like an outsider time and time again. Don’t get me wrong: I was a one of those kids who flaunted my academic attributes, regularly attended harry potter book club, and shut myself away in the library with a good book when it all seemed like too much. I moved to a different high school freshman year, thank god, and things were looking up. I joined the good sports teams, lost the baby fat, figured out clothes, hair, makeup etc. I even made quite a few friends. If someone looked at me now, I am practically unrecognizable. But, the social stuff took a while. I still had that same trouble making eye contact, engaging in conversation, and just being an awkward presence. I cannot describe it, but I know I am awkward, and that it doesn’t go unnoticed. I’ve worked my butt off reading how-to and self help books, and yes, they are helping. I am attentive to social cues that I never would have picked up on. I try to act normal. Not to mention I am very involved and academically motivated, so I am nerdy in some ways. In class, I focus on what I have to do, I care and engage in discussions, I have academic interests that I pursue. I am not too cool for school. I am a a varsity athlete too. BUT I occasionally slip up socially, but I try and hide it. I seem to be getting more and more attractive, and this fall, I had this amazing confidence I had never known before. But I was clinging to it by a thread…I hold onto it hoping it’ll get me somewhere. It was nice knowing it, because it was shattered just about a month ago. There are these jocks in my grade who really think they own our small little town. I had a very stressful ap physics quiz to make up one afternoon, and I was studying my notes with nervous zeal as I walked down the hall, without looking up from them. Anyway, my grade is huge, so one of the guys asks the 4 others who I am. The response? That I am some girl in his history class, and a “pyscho.” The third genius chimes in, making fun of the way I walk. I tried not to listen to the rest in that short moment, but I walked on as they just laughed and made other mean comments about me. It wasn’t for me to hear either, they were just being loud and reckless. It may not seem like much but if you’re someone with a similar story, you’d understand how much it sucks to have every ounce of your self-esteem ripped to shreds in this manner. What was even worse was the fact that I had respect for 2 of them, and all I got in return was slight. I haven’t been the same since that day and I’ve been made fun of even more..in study hall, and by more guys. I overheard them making fun of my facebook, and yeah maybe a couple of inept things I’d said or done sophomore year. In history, I asked a my teacher a question that had already been answered. My friends laughed with me but one of them shook his head and called me “slow,” which ensued some cutting comments in the aftermath. I am just so confused. I am in relatively accomplished (club and editorial positions, national honor society), nice to people, I don’t cause trouble. I do what I do, and my friends are best categorized as “the smart kids who know how to have a good time.”If you’re in high school’ you know what I’m talking about. I thought I’d improved so much, and now I am doubting it. I’ve been teased so much in my life, that everything gets me. I thought I had so much respect from people at my school and apparently I don’t. Some girl I don’t even know called me a bitch to her friend, and the same group makes fun of me when I see them. I try to avoid them, but I can’t since I have history with them every other day. I am not a pyscho. I am not a bitch. I liked my walk and posture. Now, I wonder if there is indeed something wrong with me. My mom’s like, “they’re probably just jealous because (etc.), but that seems bogus. All of my other girl friends get respect from literally everyone, and it just puzzles me. I’ve tried to ignore it and put it behind me, but I need some advice on how to cope. Thanks so much
