Andrew, welcome to the Forum. As you've probably figured out, violence won't help you, and may get the school to ban your kilt-wearing as disruptive. You've obviously got big enough balls to wear the kilt to school in the first place, so do it with confidence and try to let the negative remarks roll off. Many of us only started wearing kilts later in life. My son started wearing a kilt at age 16 to a large urban high school (about 3200 students of ALL types) and he has managed to carry it off with distinction through graduation, even gaining the respect of many who first made fun of him. I STRONGLY urge you to read his posts here. Go to the members list and look under S for seamus. Read his threads and posts and you will get a sense of how he responded and some of the situations he experienced. Others here will suggest helpful comebacks, but they have to be something that will work for you in your situation. seamus hasn't been active here for a while, but if you'd like to seek further input after reading his posts you are welcome to PM me and I can put you in touch with him.
Here's a sample:
