No, don’t do that. This will make the situation worse. Make good, real, and supportive friends in class. And fuc* the rest. Those that are laughing now will change afterwards, trust me....

You should think about putting pressure on the school to get that teacher fired. Probably ask your parents about contacting a lawyer, and file a complaint to the school supervisor or director. It's ...
