I would work on figuring out how to present myself so they would respect me more; it sounds like you are not 100% in your own respect for yourself.

I am quiet most of the time there. Though I do believe I need to speak my thoughts more towards these people. What I really need to do is come up with a list of comments to say back when I hear them complaining about others again and making fun of them. I'm guessing this is what you meant by presenting myself better?
Maybe even say something like: "Hey I understand you two are irritated, though where has complaining about others gotten you. I would speak to the person about what is bothering you. I myself feel more negative when I complain about others without speaking to them, it only hurts you more." <-- I think I need to say that more to the people who complain on a daily basis.
Then if someone is being made fun of I'll tell them: I didn't like that comment and tell them they are human just like you; no one is better than any one. Or put more detail about the person they might be making fun of.
