Woah..more posts than I thought...Thanks comrades!
I am still debating..the only thing holding me back is $$.
I play ice hockey and snowboard which really cost big $$.
But thanks. Keep the topic flowing because I know there are others that look at this for advice.
Lets see some of you fellow teenagers' layouts.

My close friends know that I like trains and one of them even had me come to his house to help him work on a little set that he had away in a box for a while.

Airsoft wars are so fun. What kinda gun do you have?

Nobody teased me for what I did at home. It doesn't matter what you do, the dumb losers who have to insult, attack and hurt others in order to prop up their own pathetic egos will find something. So go ahead and enjoy your trains. In moderation. Don't bury yourself in trains. There's lots more stuff out there. Oh, and in my 25 plus years in retail sales, it's always the thirteen year olds that need to be watched most carefully. You're at a vital spot in life. Don't screw it up because some twits are trying to push you around.
It is also a tender time. People are easily damaged in a variety of ways around this age. I personally took care of several bullies because they needed it. But did not go out looking to take on others.
The toughs at the Produce Market makes these middle school bullies look like infants asking for mommy. Fists is one thing, meat hooks is totally serious. At least for me.
Try to find love for others even if something really bad about them turns you off. There might be a variety of good life experiences waiting those who learn to love good things that others do in life.
The one who does not bend to the will of the teaser and stays with hobbies or other interests to develop and mature are the ones who are winners. The bully has no power over anyone who decides that they will not be the victim.
To the poster who punched a desiel engine breaking person into the hall, consider having that person's parent pay damages or better yet have that person who broke your engine work it off in a variety of tasks or money to cover the loss. You may want to be very careful because different areas have different laws when people break other peoples things.
years ago I broke another person's toy, it was a good toy and well used. My punishment was to do housekeeping for that person's room for a week. It was very intense but good medicine for such a hard head like me.

Rich I agree i never told of my hobby till this year. You got a right to do whatever. I kinda agree with you but not completly. Sorry if im making you mad just kinda of a bad idea i think. Cause when i was in elementry i acted like somebody that i was not. I belive that was my worst mistake not telling anybody what my hobbies where.

I got made fun of, but yet, ignored it. I don't know if this is just one case, but when people say "don't say anything, they'll just stop", they're wrong. I ignored them for six years and they never stopped,.......EVER. But at least I was ignoring them. One thing that made me mad was when one of my friend's (who I trusted letting know that I liked trains) came over to my house once, and smacked one of my diesel locomotives off the track and stepped on it. I punch him into the hallway (I lived in an apartment at the time) and nearly kicked him down the steps into the parking lot. So you may need to "throw fists" if need be.I let nobody know that I like trains in my new school, and needless to say, they have nothing to make fun of me about. Fortunately, these "ghetto" kids don't look at my shirts. LOLRich

Richard i think you might be making a mistake by doing that. But thats mu opinion
The best answer to getting made fun of:
