Teasing can be with laughing, and with the person who is being teased laughing too, and eventually, the person who teases would stop, but bullying is pushing, laughing, and only the bully would laugh not the victim, and the bullying wouldn't stop for a while.

The difference between bullying and teasing is that bullying is supposed to make you feel bad about yourself and put you down. Teasing, on the other hand, is meant to be light hearted and playful. If the one being teased doesn't like it, the person teasing will stop.

Teasing is a playful fun action. Whereas bullying is making the target feel uncomfortable and upset.

Teasing is normally something that people who are close may do in a humorous manner. Bullying is a persistent negative behavior being projected on to you. It is something that comes from a place of nastiness.

Bullying is when a person is causing harm to you repeatedly. Teasing is when someone is joking around with you or it could be pointing out bad things about you but teasing isn't as serious as bullying.

Bullying will lead to physical bullying and will pull down the victim confidence level as teasing is just children teasing

Teasing is done as a jest. It isn't meant to be harmful or anything like that. Bullying is harmful. It may not always appear harmful to the person who is doing it but the person who is receiving the comment might find it harmful. If you say that you found that comment mean or harmful and they ignore you and/or continue, this might be bullying

If the person you are 'teasing' takes it seriously and feels really hurt by your words then it would count as bullying. every person can take insults or jokes only lightly up to a limit. You'll know by there expression or reaction if you're crossing the line.

There is a fine line between what the difference between bullying and teasing is. Teasing is usually done out of the harmless sense to poke fun but that’s when it turns into bullying due to how it affected that one person. I believe teasing can turn into bullying without us being consciously aware of it all the time. The fine line is so blurred and we just have to be so careful to what we say to one another.
