Why Do Kids Get Bothered For Doing Martial Arts?

I used to spar in Karate with my cousin. When we had to let the class know one thing about myself, I said I spar with my cousin on the weekends. Most of the class laughed. They called me The Karate Kid the whole school year(these were 13 and 14 year old by the way kind of immature I know).

Why do some kids see martial arts as "weak" or "uncool" Also why do they bother me even though they know I can fight(Not a great fighter but I am good enough to defend myself)?(I don't fight by the way even when provoked, I just spar for fun.)
Ohh and It happens a lot not just with me.
