This one boy in my class is always being rude to me. When I sing, or dance, he groans, and corrects me, and mocks me, and points out everything I did wrong. He also told me my hair is notty and I have a rash on my face. What do I do?

If its just him acting this way, theres a good chance that whether he's aware or not, that he is attracted to/interested in you.
I know, I know....doesnt sound like the way a guy would act if he was truly interested. He would be the opposite right? Like smiling, being sweet, and when he talks, its all compliments and things to encourage you and build you up, not tear you down.
Depending on his age and maturity level, that is actually what boys will do. Why? I can't say. Maybe their social abilities are behind those of a girl at a certain age?
What you might try next time he pays attention to you in a negative way is to say, "Brian, this is not the right way to make a good impression on a girl you are attracted to or crushing on. Its a known fact that Guys only go out of their way to pay attention to a girl they are attracted to. You would greaten your chances at dating a girl if you were to smile and compliment her instead, show interest in what she likes to do and find ways to support her and build her up."
He may be embarrassed at having been caught and deny it. Or he may change and start treating you nicely. Either way, there's a good chance that his behavior might change if you say something to that effect. The only way he'd continue on as before is if he has shown to have a behavioral problems in other areas at school as well. In this case, you could talk to your teacher about him behavior.
