well, now they will respect you even less, for being a snitch. what you need to do is identify their biggest insecurities and exploit them accordingly...

Chill out and do nothing or stand up for yourself and do something.

Guys do that all the time... just talk to them, say them it hurts you and you don't see it as a friendly joke.
If they are indeed friends they will respect it. Guys often laugh at each other for fun and it is ok with most of them. You can draw a line if it is something you are ok with in general or just say you don't want to be part of their jokes. Friends respect that.

I was the only girl is a guys company and they were laughing at me a lot. This particular group was treating me well in general but they were joking about each other including me and when I told them it hurts me, they made one more joke that it's because I'm a girl but stopped joking about me when I was around. Friends respect that sort of things.
My 15 year old thinks it's hilarious to call my forehead a five-head 😑
I do have a big forehead though. I just laugh it off - he's not a mean kid at all - it's only a joke and I know he'd be mortified if I were actually upset by it because he's got a very kind heart.

Your friends were being thoughtless but I doubt it was meant to be malicious, it was just a bit of ribbing meant to be funny. Just tell them you don't like it though, if it bothers you. I think you could do with a thicker skin though.

If they're not even your friends then their opinion doesn't matter
