I'm probably not the best one to ask. I made bullies afraid of me when I was in high school (I was an atheist back then). I also don't know if bullying between girls is any different from guys.
With that in mind, and not know any other details about your situation, I'm going to keep my advice short. If they're making fun of you for being a Christian, just say "thanks for verifying the Bible is true."

Jesus said that the world would hate us because it hated Him first. I know it can't be easy for a girl your age. My daughter is a year younger than yourself and she desires to be liked and to fit in. Just that they are teasing you speaks to your faith and dedication to Jesus. All I can say is most people are stupid. People are watching you and they do want to see you cave and crumble. You will walk in victory as they fall to the gods they have chosen. Just don't compromise. God hears your prayers. Even as an old fart like me I get teased about my beliefs at work. They have yet to prove me wrong. I find strength in knowing I'm right.

you keep smiling and you do not let anyone make you feel like crap. you just need to remember that it is the devil working through the lost and pray on bahalf of everyone that is making fun of you. Pray and ask God to put a hedge of protection around you along with the full armor of God every single morning okay. Its important honey. Being a daughter of God the more you love Jesus and try to do those good works the more the devil is going to attack with whatever means he can to draw you away from doing stuff that brings glory to our Lords Kingdom. So SEE this for what it really is and take heart that as Children of God we are persecuted and should just expect it to be a daily part of our lives. Just thank Jesus for these times and have heart that he is always always for you and with you and lean back in complete faith that he is over you, behind you, and that he goes before you.
Scripture tells us that “we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God,” Acts 14:22. Scripture also tells us that “all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution,” 2Ti 3:12. Have you considered that those who are bullying you are persecuting you?
Remember how Peter and the apostles after they were beaten and commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, how after they left the council, rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name? Act 5:40-41
I would say “rejoice and give Glory to God” sister for being counted worthy!

Ignoring them worked for me. And, guess who they're going to come to some day for prayer when they're sick or confused. You have a powerful Brother. Give Him time to defend you.
I don't know about where you're living at. Here in America, I'd rather be a "follower of Jesus" than a "Christian". The way some people act who call themselves Christian, they are not helping your witness any.

What exactly do you mean by "hurt me more"...?
Is this 'abuse' more than verbal?
Is it merely ["at the level of"] 'teasing' - or, is it more severe?
Is it just simply a matter of them "pinching you" and that sort of thing?
Or, is there "serious invading" of your body, "personal space", or personal property?
Is it boys or girls - or both?
How much of it is verbal? How much of it is physical? How much of it is "mind games"...?
If there is actually anything going on that is "prank-level" or worse -- is there anyone "in authority" (who is 'closer' to the situation) you can go to for advice or help?
Can you talk to your parents about it?
As for an answer to your question...
~ Keep them in your prayers.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ~ Matthew 5:44
~ Give them an answer...
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. ~ 1 Peter 3:15-16
Every time they come around, be sure to "drop" some scripture "into their ear"...
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ~ Hebrews 4:12
This alone may "drive them away" - hearing scripture is worse than "fingernails across a chalkboard" to many whose heart is full of mischief...
~ Keep "being nice" to them...
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. ~ Romans 12:20-21
(Read the whole chapter.)
In other words - "be the instrument" that "surrounds them with godliness"...
Soon enough, they should either "cave in" (which is to their benefit) or "become scarce" (which is to your benefit).
I know these things can be difficult to do at times. Pray for wisdom to know "when and where and how" to "respond"...
I will pray for you...
