If you break her face, you will look like the lame one. Everyone who hears her talking down about you knows that she is. my two cents are that you should try to kill her with kindness. Compliment her. When other people say something about her in a convo, start saying good things about her. Build her up every chance you get. It may sound like the nicey nice thing to do, but it'll confuse the heck out of her. punching in the nose= not okay. If you break her face, you will look like the lame one.

I'm not the jock athlete of my school. A lot of people make fun of me behind my back, but I don't care. I am who I am and if they don't like it, tough. Some of the reason is because, as Josh said, they are intimidated. Or perhaps they are jealous of me. Why? Well, they know my parents own a restaurant (the most famous Chinese place in my town) and that I'm just naturally really smart. So, them, being not as smart or have parents with an awesome restaurant, make fun of me for having these things. I just ignore it. Who cares what they think about me? You shouldn't care what that chick thinks about you either. And if it ever gets to be too much, do something about it. If she ever gets physical or passes your boundaries, let her know. But don't let her know you were the one behind the scenes. Pull some kind of sly prank on her, but don't, for the love of God, tell anyone you were behind it. Humiliate her, but be careful. Don't get caught ;) I know this probably won't be viewed the same by everyone, but that's just what I'd do. The way I see it, if you show her that every time she does something to you (direct or indirect) then something will happen to her. She'll learn to leave you alone. If you can, ignore it. Remember, only do what I said if she goes too far. Telling someone else will only make it worse if she finds out. She'll just spread more rumors about you. If you ignore it, chances are, they'll stop. If you ignore it, as said by lots, bullies will stop. They get no fun out of it. So don't give them squat unless they go too far. Also, a nice punch to the nose helps sometimes. Especially if you can't find a way to pull off a good old fashioned revenge prank. Hey, I know how you feel. I’m not the jock athlete of my school.
