Bullying is constant and it hurts others. Teasing happens more to friends and they know you don't mean what you say or do. Bullying is when someone is hurt by your actions and words even if you don't know they are hurt because of you.

Teasing is when you make jokes without the person feeling hurt or insulted, but bullying is when your words affect them. Bullying can also be where you humiliate them

Teasing and bullying differ both by intention and reception. If there is a negative intention behind an action directed towards another person/people, it may be considered bullying. If the intention is good, the action is safe and the receiver can look back on it as fun in some way, it can be considered teasing. Usually teasing happens between friends and/or possible mutual romantic interests.

Teasing is making fun of somebody when not trying to hurt their feelings and knowing that they won't be hurt by your comments. Bullying is trying to make someone feel worse or upset.

when you are teasing the person that is getting teased knows that its all in good fun and no real harm is done. Bullying is when there is harm being done that the person that is being bulled is not having fun.

If the person being teased is continuously asking for it to stop, and the person teasing is refusing to stop after being asked many times, it becomes bullying.

Difference between bullying and teasing is a very thin line. Personally, until a person is enjoying and laughing I'd consider it as teasing, however, the moment the person starts feeling bad or irritated is when is called bullying.

Bullying is an act meant to actually make the other person feel bad. Teasing is consensual, and the other person doesn't mind and doesn't feel offended.

Teasing can be for fun, since many friends tease each other and they're fine with it. Bullying is when you don't like it but the bully does so anyways, while no harm comes in teasing.
