What's the difference between bullying and teasing?

It's a very fine line. Bullying is deliberately putting someone down, usually continuously. Teasing is just having fun and usually funny but needs to be kept to a minimum. The less you do it the less likely chance you have of hurting someone's feelings.

Teasing is done by people who are close to you and know you like friends and family and involves light hearted jokes with no intention to hurt anyone. Bullying is done by individuals who wish to spread fear and involves making rude and insensitive comments intended to hurt someone.

Teasing is usually well received by the person being teased. Bullying is not well received because it can be super hurtful and harmful to someone.

Teasing might come from people you get along with. You might have a feeling of inclusion or see humor in teasing. Or even be able to look passed it because you realize it's not meant to be hurtful. Bullying is a persistent and unwelcome form of teasing and the giver definitely does not care how the receiver feels about it. Remember that bullying is never okay! If you feel you are being bullied let someone know! And If at all possible, just try to avoid bullies! They feed off of upsetting people. don't let their hate get to you! Show them that you are bigger and better than that and you will take away their power. If bullying is taken to a level that you cannot handle on your own, definitely do not be afraid to ask for help! No one should be made to feel worthless and alone..

Teasing is playful, lighthearted and with good intentions. Bullying is based on bad intentions, and you'll often be able to see how uncomfortable the person in question is when that line is crossed.

From personal experience, these are my thoughts: Bullying: Pervasive, recurring, on purpose, done with intention to harm someone, and a target. Those are really the basics. Teasing: Among a group of friends. Have you heard of "Roasting", or "Flaming"? If not, those are basically quick comebacks, and usually not intentional for harm. There's a big difference between teasing and bullying, so those are the most basic things you can look out for. Even if you're scared, and feel very uncomfortable, it is best to seek help from an adult or someone you trust. And you can always, always message in to 7 Cups Of Tea. We're here for you.

If it makes you feel bad or you don’t like it it’s bullying. If it doesn’t make you feel bad then it’s teasing.

Teasing is something usually those close to you do, and it's more in in the form of a joke in order to fluster you or get a certain reaction from you while bullying is something people do to hurt you either physically or verbally for their own pleasure or whatever other reason they have

Whether or not it's fun for both parties involved. If one person feels bad it's not teasing anymore.

Bullying is mostly repeated, so if someone is being treated unfairly or horribly from someone, it would be considered bullying. But if someone is teasing, then they wouldn't do it often or do it to make you laugh.
