By the way, if you let their teasing get to you, you're letting them get what they want. Ignore what they have to say, and if you can think quick enough, say something to them that'll put them in their place. Those people aren't worth getting upset over. Try building up your confidence, and showing them that they can't bother you anymore. No matter what they say.

Obviously confidence will scare them off. Don't cry and be all timid and scared (I know what it's like. I used to and still sort of am in the same position as you. Easier said than done) but be confident. Think of some smart remarks and say it to them. When they go to hit you don't cower, but stand up tall. Obviously don't verbally threaten them, but show them with body language you can hit them back if you want to. You won't get in trouble, since you didn't actually say you would hit them, but body language will say it all.
However, I must press you to really tell a teacher or a school counsellor. No matter how scared you are after it happens they will hurt you more, or you will get called more names they still get punished. Now I can't say if after that they will stop, however if it continues after they get punished see an adult again and they will get even more severly punished, at my school if it happens more than once they get expelled. Wouldn't that give you the BEST satisfaction in the world? It would be the best revenge, without doing something sick or twisted.

Are you fat? I know this sounds cliched, but the best way to eliminate the problem is to lose weight. Not for them, but for you. Being overweight can lead to many problems later on, including heart disease. If you are not fat, you can have to build up some confidence and tell yourself that it doesn't matter what they tell you because it isn't true. But I'm going to go that you're overweight. Try joining a sports team, or dance class. I used to be heavy at about 10 or 11, and I started field hockey in 6th grade, where I am now very healthy. I was afraid people would laugh and make fun of me because I was fat and wasn't good at sports, but practice makes perfect! Now nobody teases me for my weight, and I feel good about myself and healthy. I'm sorry if this didn't answer your question about bullying, but I hope that your healthiness is more important.
