Bullying is a series of actions that may hurt other individuals whether it's on physical level or psychological level. It is done with the intention to hurt someone or to gain superiority over an individual or a group of people. Teasing on the other hand, is an act on which a person makes jokes on someone with the intentions not to hurt but to simply create laughter. Although, teasing may be considered bullying when used inappropriately.

Bullying is repeated derogatory actions or comments meant to put down or hurt another person emotionally or physically while teasing occurs once or twice in a joking manner, not intended to insult.

Bullying is when you are being repeatedly abused and being made fun in a non-funny manner and is done genuinely trying to hurt you. Teasing is when you're being made fun of in a cheeky manner, and isn't repeatedly to hurt you.

Bullying is differentiated from teasing because of intention. Those who bully actually intend to do harm, whereas teasing is supposed to be a ‘no harm’ game.

Honestly it depends on the individual being bullied or teased. There's a thin line between the two. I used to think they were different but little teasing can make a person change how they see themselves because of what others say. I've witnessed it among friends. Friends tease each other but what you say can have an impact on your friends more than you know.

It is very common to confuse teasing for bullying, and that's a bit problematic when it comes to taking bullying seriously. Bullying is repeated teasing, over time, teasing is usually single episodes

Bullying carrys on for a long time, whereas teasing is only suppose to happen once. Teasing can also be associated as bullying if it's constant.
