How can I improve my IQ and show my classmates that I ain't what they call me?

A few things:
1) IQ is related to the average cognitive ability of people your age, and 100 is average. Thus, someone with the IQ of 131 would be considered very smart, no matter what age he or she is.
2) If your IQ is really 131, you're probably a very bright girl and you probably shouldn't be worrying about what other people say. Don't worry about what they call you.
3) As with physical strength and many other things, there is no quick-fix improvement to IQ. All you can do is consistently challenge your brain: do sudoku puzzles, do crossword puzzles, read intellectualy-stimulating books and articles. Think about your place in the world.
4) Don't worry about IQ. It's a highly flawed method of calculating intelligence, and even if it was perfect, what does it matter how smart you are compared to your friends? Far more important is trying to be a good person, a supportive friend, and someone who works for making the best out of each moment.

First of all, if you do not want your peers to say negative things to you, try not to say things like "that I ain't what they call me?"
A lot of what people perceive as intelligence is what you show on the exterior and a lot of this is how you speak. Grammar is a large part of how you speak, so saying words like "ain't" does not come off as very intelligent.
Also, did you take your IQ test online? If you did take that test online, I am sorry to burst your bubble but those online tests are not very reliable or accurate. The best places to take an accurate IQ test would be at a psychologist's office or with your school counselor. If you did take your IQ test with a registered professional and got a 131, then that is pretty good.

If your IQ is 131 and people are saying that their's is much higher, they are probably not telling the truth(Like that guy who's 14 and says his is 172 in your answers) The only way to keep your IQ up is to work your brain with odd puzzles. Things like solving simple math problems very quickly is a good brain exercise. If they call you stupid and your IQ is 131, then they need to recheck themselves.

Considering that 100 is the average, I'd say 131 is a VERY good score. If you did one of those online IQ test, those aren't reliable. The only ones that are reliable are the ones psychologists give and if you need to take the test more than once, it is suggested every third year.

131 isn't a bad IQ score for anyone. A score of 100 means you are exactly average intelligence for your age.
A score of 131 is generally considered "Very superior"; genius is 140+. Take a look at the definitions of the score ranges in the sites below.
If your classmates are calling you slow or stupid, they're very wrong. In fact, 31 points below average is considered mildly mentally retarded (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_retardation#IQ_below_70); your score is as high above a normal person's as a normal person is above someone who is mildly retarded.

131 happens to be a very respectable IQ and one you should be proud of. To keep people from calling you "stupid" you have to put your high IQ to work. Learn how to speak and write using proper grammar and apply yourself in your school studies. IQ itself is not a measure of one's intelligence. Your IQ is only what you make of it. Having a high IQ doesn't mean that every academic endeavor will be easy for you and that you won't need to work hard to suceed. I see it more as a measure of your potential - and you have a lot of it. Put your high functioning brain to work and be the best that you can be.
To have an IQ as high as that and not put it to good use is "stupid".

131 is above average IQ or Very superior in interpretation of the score (anything over 130 pts)
Those that score over 130 are:
Physicians and Surgeons; Lawyers; Engineers (Civil and Mechanical)
And you rank in the 98 percentile (that means you're brighter than 98% of the population)
average is 100

131 is a great IQ for anyone!
How can you show your classmates that you aren't what they call you? It depends on what they call you. :) If they're calling you "smart", then sorry, but what they're calling you is true!

absolutely not the average is 122 nationwide. for graduates and older.
OK. smarty pants now what you have to do is not get lazy!
keep reading, keep involved, KEEP OFF DRUGS, Wait for the boys, worry more about brains then what the fashion books say.
oh anyway, good job. If anyone calls you ignorant. Sounds like jealousy to me. Stay on earth, I'm sure your friends aren't as smart as they think if they get pleasure from hurting "friends" feelings.

131 is way above average
100-105 is the normal that all of your friends probably have
