Teasing is more innocent. Like something you'd laugh of yourself. Some jokes here and there. Bullying however, hurts you. Bullying is intentional and more serious. If you say 'I'm hurt' and they say 'oh no! I'm sorry' I think tehy were teasing.

Bullying is meant to hurt. Verbal bullying is different from teasing. ... But when it's done repeatedly with the intent of being hurtful or threatening, it becomes bullying. Verbal bullying includes calling a victim names, taunting and sexual harassment. Teasing is just having fun and laughing with each other not at each other.

Teasing is a social exchange that can be friendly, neutral or negative. Done in the right spirit, it can actually be positive. When kids tease each other about clothes, musical tastes or behavior, it helps them learn to deal with constructive criticism. It’s part of how they relate.Verbal bullying is different from teasing. It’s not done as a way to relate, or to make friends. Just the opposite. The goal is to embarrass the victim and make the bully look better. It may start out as negative teasing. But when it’s done repeatedly with the intent of being hurtful or threatening, it becomes bullying.
