My friends annoy me.?

I'm 15 and I guess I play the role of a "class clown" in my group of friends. I guess this causes my friends to be largely entertained my antics and all but lately they tease me so much that I get so annoyed and just stop talking to them for a while. It pisses me off. Is there anything i can do about it to stop them. I mainly take the teasing from the person in the group who I like and playfully tease back but when the group of them tease me I just blow up and stop talking to them altogether.
