The place where you bought the bike should know. If they don't, it's probably not a good idea to keep buying dirt bike stuff from them.
I've never heard of a Baja 90 Dirt Rider, which leads me to believe it's one of the new Aisan imports. A lot of these new brands don't have a dealer network to support their bikes, which isn't good if you have problems.
However, there is good news: most of the small bikes and ATVs being imported from Taiwan these days are all manufactured in just a couple of different factories, regardless of the brand. That means that if you can find a dealer that sells parts that fit one brand of these bikes, they can probably help you find parts for yours. A good dealer will be able to cross reference what you need with what he can get you.
The kids at school give you a hard time about your bike because it's not from an established brand like Yamaha, Suzuki, etc. These new imports don't have a very good reputation in North America, but that doesn't neccessarily mean the bikes themselves are bad.
In the 1960s there were many brands of small bikes that were in a similar situation to the Aisan brands today. Companies like Bridgestone, Montgomery Wards, Sears Allstate, Puch, Sachs, Aeromacchi, and Benelli all sold cheap bikes through limited dealer networks or catalogues and hardware stores with virtually no support after the sale. However, a whole generation of riders learned to how to ride on these bikes, and that made them ready for bigger bikes just as the motocross boom took off. This all happened before YZs, CRs, RMs, and KXs even existed. Ask someone who's at least 50 years old and has been riding since he was a kid about days before motocross and bikes like the small bikes that were around then that aren't now.
Finally, usually the kids that make fun of your bike are either the ones that want to feel like their bike is better than everybody else's, or else they're the kids that really want a bike of their own. Since they don't have one, they pick on yours out of jealousy.

JR, your crazy! What bike do you have? Those Chinesse bikes SUCK!! There only like 1000 bucks, slow, and the parts are hard to get. We actually saw a warning about them in some store(G@G, I think!) because they say that they are Honda engines or somthing, and then you can't get parts. We always make fun of them, and I KNOW that! If you think that they are better than Yamahas, Hondas, Susukis, KTMs, GasGas, Husaburg and Huskavarna, then your oviusly new to riding.
