Jealousy, low self esteem. Don't let it bother you, that is what they want you to do. If you ignore them, they will stop.

High school can be a very ridiculous time. People behave rather poorly & it's all about rivalry & other nonsense. They are probably insecure & it it the only way they can make themselves feel better. Sad, really.

Well, I can't answer for everybody, but for myself, I act like a jerk when I'm proved wrong by someone I look down on because I tend to look down on people who are less intelligent than me . . . and it really rankles me when stupid people are right and I am wrong.
(Paris Hilton really rankles me too - it doesn't seem right that stupid people are rich while I'm broke)

Because they try to act cool when really the only thing cool about them are the comebacks and the put-downs. They know that they are being proved wrong and they are worried about what they're possy willl think! :) hang i there

NO one likes to be proven wrong. It takes class to admit you're wrong and act like a grownup. Obviously they don't teach that in the school you're talking about.

It's just the nature of the beast, love. One of the greatest fears in human nature is to be wrong.

Because they're shallow and insecure. If they really feel like they're better than you then it's totally humiliating to be put in their place.

The answer is because of jealousy and they just don't want to live with it.
