One way to stop being so sensitive is to train yourself to think this way:
"I don't rightly care what other people think about me. I am happy with who and what I am, and that's all that REALLY matters. Their opinion is theirs, and they can keep it, quite frankly."
A saying a teacher taught me in high school:
"Don't let the bastards get you down."

To be brutally honest the only reason people are trying to bother you is that they have a sick fascination with seeing you get embarassed or turn on the water works. They know they have your number and that tears, anger or frustration is always the end result they'll see out of you.
What can you do? First of all get out a sheet of paper right now and right down the following on one side list all the good things about yourself and on the other all the things they say about you which are not true to get a reaction.
Start knowing and claiming the good things as yours and any time someone tries something on you remind yourself that none of that junk is true about me and 'm not reacting to it. You see, you have to build a wall around yourself and confidence then none of this will be a problem.
No matter what anyone says to you just remember that they are lying and counter punch in your head with the defence about the truth and then you will in the long run learn not to react or be overly sensitive. You have to work at getting tough in this area and all it is is mental and what you are allowing yourself to believe or get hit with even though you know what the truth about yourself is.
Another thing to remember is to consider the source of where this is stemming from and tell yourself that so-and-so has no authority, is jealous, doesn't truly know me and has more problems than I do. Then you can brush it off and pity them for saying it. That's how you get tough skinned.

I'm the same way, you're not alone.
Basicly, you have to just try and ignore it because, there is always going to be people who say things like that. Just keep your head up, they are most likely saying this to make them feel better about themselves because they are insecure. So just try to show you don't care, and they may stop because they see it doesn't bother you anymore.

No! But I do the same thing and it is annoying!
I just walk away when I feel tears come up. It at least buys me time to calm myself down. Good luck.
