If he's being rational perhaps you could gently explain that the unkindness is hurtful? Ask him how he would feel if one of his friends did to him what he's doing to you. I don't have a teen, but I do that a lot with my eight year old. It works with her, but requires patience and the ability to stay calm when you're really hurt by the crap they're pulling...
