Bullying is associated with an act filled with malignant intent aiming to physically or emotionally wound an individual. Teasing is more positive wherein post the act, the person comforts whoever he/she was teasing offering compassion.

If someone is teasing someone, it shouldn't be anything serious. Like when a friend messes up and their friend says "way to go, you mess up everything!" And then they both laugh. That's playful, fun, teasing.
If someone is bullyed, the person being bullied won't laugh, and the stuff they're told is mean, and unnecessary. It hurts the person, and only the bully laughs.
The thing is, even with teasing, it can hurt the people you tease. This is why I suggest that you don't tease or bully anyone... It's to hurtful.

Teasing is generally semi-kind and accepted on both sides of the conversation. Bullying is harmful to a person, whether it be physical, mental, and/or emotional. Bullying is not welcome or wanted on both sides of the conversation.

Teasing would still be considered bullying if it's harmful, unless the person being teased is truly laughing along as well.

Bullying is something that leaves a scar and it will stay with you for the rest of your life. You can't do anything about it your bully won't listen to you most of the times. If you need help fighting a bully rely on your friends and family always. If that's not working you can seek out professional help. Teasing is more playful and usually if you tell your teaser to stop because it hurts you they won't laugh at you but they will stop and understand your feelings.

Teasing is an affectionate action, used to poke fun at something in a way that doesn't hurt the person being teased. Teasing becomes bullying when the person feels victimised or hurt by the comment.

Bullying is a constant abuse, physically and mentally with malicious intent. Teasing is playful, poking fun of someone/at a situation with humorous intent while also not intending a negative or harmful impact to the person being teased.

Teasing is almost consensual; there's some level of fun in it for both people involved and its a two way street. Bullying goes beyond that, sometimes one person intends to inflict some form pain on the other but often they just haven't reflected on the effect their words are having.

Teasing is lighthearted and normally meant in a good manner. Bullying is a term for making someone feel bad about themselves, and can include physical, mental, and emotional harm.

Bullying is when an individual or a group of individuals repeatedly tease or insult someone with the intention of hurting them. There can be physical, emotional, and even cyber bullying! In the case of bullying, it's always one person hurting the other person, instead of two people hurting each other. In the other hand, teasing can be a simple fight between two or more people. Sometimes it can be done as a joke, but it isn't meant to truly hurt someone. For example, you might tease your sister, but you shouldn't bully her. I hope this helped! If you need anything, feel free to message me and I can listen!
