Teasing is something that close friends usually do, it's not meant to be hurtful to you in any way or form. However, bullying is something that is intended to spread hate, or gossip to others.

Teasing can hurt some-one, push them to their limits, but bullying can throw them past their limits. Personally i think teasing is a form of bullying. The only difference between the two is the severity.

Bullying is a hurtful, potentially threatening behavior wherein only one party has control (that being the bully) of where the situation goes. Teasing should be lighthearted fun where both parties feel safe and unthreatened. Bullying is never positive and while teasing can sometimes feel unbalanced or like an ambush, it's not an attack, the way that bullying is.

Generally, teasing is all for fun. Usualy done by close friends who know that it wont be really hurting your feelings. Bullying is when someone wants someone else to feel down and/or bad about themselves.

Teasing is saying something playfully, that is something which is not harsh. Whereas, bullying is sayings things which are directly meant to hurt someone, degrade them or make them feel inferior.

Teasing is harmless, playful comments which don't have much effect. Whilst bullying is where it all gets out of hand and can lead to worse things like physical abuse.

Bullying and teasing are very different, and differ because of the intention.
Teasing is meant for humor, and usually doesn't have harmful intentions.
Bullying, on the other hand, is hostile and is meant to hurt the other person. Usually, when bullying occurs, there happens to be an imbalance of power. The person being teased is perceived as "weaker".
Teasing may be funny, but it really isn't when it becomes bullying.

Teasing has a purpose of making you laugh and have fun together with someone. Bullying is a repeated action towards someone that is obviously hurt by what is being done/said to him.

Teasing is something you can simply laugh off. Bullying is something that will makes you anxious to go out, to simply live your life.
