(Bleh, life will eventually improve.) Some people think its sorta wierd that when I'm down, I laugh a lot at insignificant things, because I love living through the bad times since when I go through them, I remember that I had said things were gonna improve and they did. Just as I'm 100% sure that your life WILL improve. You quite possibly won't be everything you want to be, have all the friends and girls you want, but these will eventually come (Heck, I'm 19, and I know ALOT of guys who still haven't got a single girlfriend yet, by my age)
Here's my casual solution for a 13th year old kid (I know school sucks, everyone laughs mocks you, etc.)
First thing: Are you good with school? If you are then try to focus as much as you can (I wasn't the coolest guy in the block, and I was (mildly) ridiculed. Nothing I couldn't cope with. Focussing on school (And games. :P) was one of my ways to pay back at them.) Focus on school, it will be your future, many of the guys and girls who laugh at you won't be one tenth of what you'll be in the future if you focus on it.
Second thing: Are you good (As in enjoying. Being good is just a bonus.) with any sports? You SERIOUSLY NEED to get into collective Sports (Soccer/Football, Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, anything). They are the salvation for most guys in your condition. You'll have to forget the fear of being ridiculed and try your hardest at improving in that Sport. And try to socialize, even if others shrug you off (Depends on the collective mood towards newcomers), whether or not you're well recieved in the beginning, most of the times you end up being friends with your teammates (Or some of them) At your age, youth's teams always field everyone regardless of skill. So even if you suck (You need to focus also on that Sports), you'll still be able to play and feel like you're contributing to something (YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR TEAM and YOU WILL MAKE FRIENDS, You will hear your coach trying to push you harder, you'll be complemented when you make a good pass, etc. You will take part in the collective celebration of victory when you win games. Provided you stay long enough, you will make friends in there. You can't quit. Show yourself you are a winner.)
Provided you try these things, you will eventually improve your own life. The most important matter is to stay focused and try not to be disturbed by stupid commentaries and as I usually say, life will improve.
