There are some people in my university who are jealous of me and whenever I do some message, they reply me with messages that have that sarcasm that look funny and insulting and I don't have any comebacks for them. They also get more reaction and when I do msgs, more people gather and intensify hate. I want to have comebacks but I don't know how to.

I'm interested in what message you're delivering to the world.

Well, I want to have revenge and be the most evil I can ever be yet there is something in me that says hey you are poor, you cannot afford being a heartless jerk but I am feeling so hurt these days by almost everyone who is close to me that I will be taking revenge from them all and will damage them to the core of their selves.

It sounds like you've been having a rough time. Revenge sounds cool and all, but isn't typically productive. Instead, i suggest using your energy on something that benefits you. Exercise and education are good starting points.
