If people give you shit agree and amplify. You'll soon see that many social interactions are really a series of shit tests, and once you pass enough of them they'll stop coming. Be sure to give them, too.

The way to prevent people mocking you isn’t come backs. It’s to be the kind of person they either don’t think of mocking or would be afraid to mock. It sounds like you are passive. So you get mocked. Stop being so passive in life. Talk, laugh, lead.

“You’re a nerd” ..... yeah I know, you wouldn’t believe how many numbers I’ve gotten from girls wanting to study.

“You’re so weak.” ... naw man I’ll hold my own bags, if you wanted to ask, just be straight up.

IF your not A&A or just STFU. It’s a DEER. You lost. Reset.

Wit is what your looking for. Not put downs.

If people see their mocking doesn't phase you one bit -- they'll get bored eventually and stop. The whole point of mocking is to get under someone's skin just to see them get mad for lols. Agree and amplify, ignore, hold frame and you'll be gucci.

WISNIFG covers being assertive without being aggressive, which sounds like a topic you could use some work on.

Agree and amplify is the best thing you can do. It becomes very fun once you find yourself starting to get the hang of it too. Some dude tried to give me shit a few days ago -- I agreed and amplified what he said, then did some good ole reverse psychology shit. He looked at me, and grinned begrudgingly -- then reached out to shake my hand. I laughed in his face.

I find that agree&amplify or just staying silent and giving a smirk is the best way, it gives off a vibe like you don't care and others' opinions don't define you.

You know there is a few things I noticed about your post that indicates underlying issues with your person.

"I'm pretty good at coming up with comebacks." (you don't give an example)
"I don't look like a pussy" (you care about how others perceive you)
"I want to run for student body president"

I doubt you're good at coming up with comebacks.
You care about how you look, you do not care about what's right, which is why people hate you, you are a fake piece of shit. Who thinks they are better than everybody else when in fact you're not. Get over yourself, you're not great, you have accomplished nothing in your life that is worthy of recognition. So you shouldn't have this attitude in the first place, you are a pathetic leech on society and your days are numbered.

You think becoming student body president matters? You are fucking dumb, and so are the books you read. Focus on your education not on what people say.
