Bullying is defined as the abuse, violent dominance, or intimidation of someone by the use of force, coercion, harsh teasing, or threat. It is a habitual and repeated behaviour. The sense of an imbalance of physical or social power (by the bully or others) is a must. Bullying differs from disagreement because to this imbalance.Bullying is done for pleasure and ego gratification, and when it comes to teasing, I believe there are different bonds. If you love someone, and they taunt you, we take it in good humour, and if it's a friend, we take it lightly. Teasing is not done on purpose or for ego satisfaction.Such teasing could be a prelude to intercourse or not, creating an uncertainty that can lead to awkward circumstances.

bullying is intended to harm someone and to make them feel guilty or bad in some way; its meant to hurt a person or group of people. meanwhile teasing is intended as a joke, its playful and not meant to hurt anybody. for example, homophobia/racism/sexism. these "topics" are used against people, and many homophobes/racists/sexists use hurtful slurs to purposefully make people of those minorities feel bad about themselves and feel hurt about who they are. teasing is almost the opposite, its used in a playful manner to jokingly make fun of or include someone in a conversation. bullying is harmful, teasing is not.
