my heart goes out to you.
What they are doing is not right, you deserve to be able to be safe at school. like the others have said hard at is telling someone is sometimes the only answer. if telling one person doesnt work try telling another, you stop asking for help and you never get it then later you beat yourself up about it, at least thats what happened to me. i dont know about US but here in UK there often a specific member of staff you can talk to about bullying. Are there any teachers / staff members you trust more than the others? If so i recommend talking to them, it isn't an instant solution but they'll be someone else trying to make it stop.
as for standing up for yourself its a difficult one, sometimes it makes them hurt you more. sometimes it stops them in their tracks. the thing with most bullies is they are looking for a reaction, no reaction at all and they can get bored. so if you can try as hard as possible to completely blank the might make life a little easier.
I cant understand what it's like for you, noone else can. But i've been bullied and come out the other side. It gets better.
stay strong,

p.s. feel free to pm i got bullied from 5 to 16, i'm 18 now and slowly dealing with it. anyway i'm here if you want to talk.
