Maybe your size will come in useful someday, but you don't have to build your life around this one thing. It's your life - you can do whatever the hell you want! If you want to work with computers, then good for you, go out and do it. If they're calling you names, especially in grade 12, then that's really immature and stupid and I sincerely hope they grow up soon. You aren't a freak, that's just them trying to think of something smart to say.
Often people see each other as more simple than themselves. When I was 14 I wanted to join the wrestling team, but I was so small that everyone said I couldn't do it. So I did and they were surprised because they didn't know I had any muscles (lol). It makes me wonder how much I don't know about them. Same with you, they see your size and nothing else. The best you can do is just ignore them and move on with your life - and you don't even have to see them after high school - and if it gets really annoying you can talk to the guidance counselor about next steps.
