Why do guys make fun of me?

cklucy
Sense the beginning of high school I’ve noticed that many of the guys in my class like to make jokes about me behind my back or laugh about things I say in class. They treat me a lot differently from all of the other girls in my grade and I feel like I don’t belong or fit in. I can be kind of shy and awkward sometimes but I try to help combat that with laughing along and trying to makes jokes to play it off. But doing this doesn’t really seem to help much. I feel like I can’t talk to the guys I’m interested in because I know that they see me as the “weird girl at school” and will probably say something mean to me. I feel like I can’t talk to a lot of my peers about the things things that I’m interested in and I have a hard time relating to the other girls. I don’t like being singled out but I don’t know what to do to fix it?
