Hi Guest
Have you started puberty yet are you a boy or a girl?
Being 12 you have many years of growth and development ahead of you and the changes you are hoping for will happen.
Everyone grows and develops at different rates and time and it is hard to predict how long it will take and what the end result will be.
Eating a well balanced diet including fruit and vegetables and normal sized portions is the best thing you can do healthy snakes between meals also and regular physical activity.
Your height is fine for being 12 you are thin but for 12 that is normal, the size of kids the same age can vary a great deal and when you reach the point that your body begins to grow the changes you are hoping for will happen.
It is unfortunate that you get picked on by some people and if they see it is bothering you it tends to add fuel to the fire. Try to ignore them and just walk away when they are being jerks.
If it would help put your mind at ease you could talk to your parents about seeing your doctor just to make sure everything is okay and you are developing as you should be.
