no, if your smart and people are teasing you, it's only because they are jeloise. If you keep up the work then your hard work will pay off and you will be leaving a peaceful life while every one else that took there time teasing you will be repeating collage beacuse they where to friken lazy to study. Trust me if you keep up the hard work then you will be happier then the people teasing you when you are older. They will regret it, if if it takes time.
Of course you should care what other people think.
But if they're 'cutting up on you' because you're smart then you should feel smug, not sad. At least you'll grow up and have a good job and big house and car and be generally successful. You won't even remember those people in a few years.
