I am 12 years old and most of my friends are teased. One of them has anger problems and the other one is horribly shy. Is there any way to make them better about these things, or do I need to stand up for them?

Is this happening at school? If so, teasing is a form of bullying and should be reported to a teacher, counselor, or an aide. They are all trained to help.
First your friends should be standing up for themselves, and all of you stand up together.
If not, you are no friend if you stand by and do nothing, you are as bad as the person doing the bullying if you could stop it and don't
I do but they just always get mad or cry
I meant this class is in my mean teachers.
Whenever she is teased
Only because you're not getting the answers you want to get. At 12 that's normal. You came here wanting to hear what you believe, wanting easy solutions to not always easy problems. As you get older you'll realize that what you want, or what you think, isn't always right, and that sometimes hearing the opposite of what you want to hear, is the only way to solve your problem.
But really, I'm not surprised that a child your age can't handle being on an adult site.
Good luck to you. :)
We do welcome kids on this site, but the fact is, most of the issues we deal with are adult issues. Frankly, as a mom, I wouldn't be comfortable with my 14 year old or 10 year old reading most of the stuff on this site.
But, if they did come here for advice I know that the regular members, the people I know personally, would give them the best advice they can. That's what we've done for you.
You feel it's a bad site mainly because we really can't help you with the issue you're asking about. The issues you're having have to be handled in person, by you, an adult you trust, a teacher, etc. etc. We can't fix the issues you're having, we can only give advice, and it sounds like you really thought that someone would come along and say "Well, there's this magic way to fix it, and here it is".
We can only give advice, you have to choose what you're going to do about the problem you have, and that's really all on you. We can't fix things if you're not willing to fix it.
Good luck to you. :)
