Is it necessary to tell friends and non-immediate family that I have bipolar disorder?

My friends and I like to have fun: we’re not exactly close though. If I tell one of them something, suddenly everyone in my circle of friends knows. (And I’m not talking about 5 or 10 people, I’m talking about 25-50 people). However, they often make rude and vulgar comments about bipolar disorder, and make fun of me when I’m really sad. This also occurs with aunts, uncles, cousins, etc., who are also not aware I have the disorder. What should I do?
Oh, I’m a sophomore, by the way.

My mom has bipolar disorder, and we only told our immediate family..
It’s nothing upset to be about if it gets out, because I have it too, but mines mild and I get over things too quickly x)
Advice, don’t tell your friends.
I found in highschool, NO ONE can keep secrets.
I wish I could’ve found some one as trustworthy as me.
