I would take Lebell's advice.
If that doesn't work, disassociate yourself from this guy.
If that isn't an option, try Lunchbox7's advice.

If this is truly a case of being bullied, you have to understand that a bully will always seek out the safest, non-threatening victim. I would say your friends have already figured this out, and are quite comfortable with you being his victim.

If your adult-to-adult talk has no effect, you might have to pop him one the next time he messes with you. He might kick your ass, but more than likely he'll recoil, saying "What did you do that for - I was only playing around?" In any case, he'll never pick on you again - he'll figure out which of your friends probably won't hit him back - and from then on, they'll be his bitch, instead of you.

I'm not a fan of violence, but in the few circumstances that call for it, you gotta do what you gotta do. Sometimes it's the only way to earn a bully's respect. It'll do wonders for your self esteem, too.

Tell your two loser friends over there that they're going to lose theirs, too." It won't hurt your fashion sense, either.
