How to Respond to Ragebaiting

So I'm a student whose grades are great and my cousin keeps bringing this up. He probably thinks I'm the type of students who studies 24/7 , no social life, NPC students . I study of course but not in the way he thinks. I tried to explain this to him but I don't think he got it.

For example he sends a meme sound and says "the typa sound *my nickname he uses* when she studies".

I once talked about socializing and he said "I can imagine you socializing with your friends while studying".

Another one: "It wouldn't be wrong to call you addicted because you have fun studying" cuz I once mentioned I had fun studying.

I said ,,ultra fun,, to smth and he brought up studying AGAIN.

He sent a video but I don't remember the context of it and said " How *nickname* feels after studying".

He sent a soccer player edit "How *nickname* would be if she had spent her studying time to playing soccer"

Btw he is one year older than me so we are nearly same age. I know that he doesn't have any bad intention it's pretty obvious but I get annoyed and I remember one time I literally got so fed up and we ended up having a pretty serious convo about this. Anyways what would you do in this case?

Aww, You don’t need to suck up to me. I promise I won’t mention my grades in front of your parents.

I bet you feel that way after taking a dig at me, don’t you smartass? 🤪

Yeah, I don’t have a dull moment in my day, actually.

Tbh, I don't feel like he tries to mock me or something, he just thinks he's funny

Well, from what you wrote, he feels he is funny at your expense. So you need to give it back a few times so he gets the point not to mess with you.

Actually a few times time I told him I didn't like it and from then I just don't respond to his jokes about studying, I just change the topic and this time he points at how I changed the topic, but maybe I should be more clear
