Teasing is trying to irritate someone for fun but bullying is having intimidation over a weak person.

Bullying is an ongoing occurrence of unpleasant behaviour towards a person or people. Bullying has many forms, online, verbal, physical and mental.
Teasing someone is doing/saying something in a joking manor that only happens once and isn't meant to be hurtful.

In essence, there is no difference between the two. The only difference is the way that the person being teased/bullied is the way that they are interpreting the event.

Teasing and bullying can be used separately or together, depending on the situation. Generally, teasing is used between friends or people who get along well, and involves one person playfully making fun of the other. In this case, teasing and bullying are two different things. Bullying is intended to harm another person, teasing is not. At other times though, teasing is used maliciously to badly make fun of another person. In this case, teasing would be a form of bullying.

I think that it depends on the intent behind the individual who is indulging in such act. Somebody who is bullying somebody has intentions to hurt them while somebody who is teasing somebody usually has good intent.

That's a good question, because the bullies excuses themselves as teasers. The thing is, if you don't feel strong enough to judge one thing or another, seek help, talk with someone who could understand what you are suffering. Then, force in numbers.
No one can solve everything alone and, sometimes, pointing out the bully is hard enough.

Teasing isn't meant to be truly mean, and if you get upset then the person should stop. It's meant to be a light joke over maybe something that happened that was really funny to you but you're also embarrassed about. But like I said, it isn't meant to hurt your feelings. That's what bullying is, however. When people bully, they are intentionally trying to upset you or be truly mean, and don't care how it makes you feel.

I'd say bullying in itself is considerably more serious but teasing someone is not necessarily a good thing either. Bullying implies that ones actions affect the victim to a very negative degree could escalate. Whereas teasing can be playful, friendly and the sort. But it can still have it's own effects on someone so it's certainly good to be a little sensitive towards one another's emotions and really spread the love.

Teasing is like a joke type like April fool's day everyone isn't teasing to be mean but to have fun, bullying is like spreading rumors about another person, locating a targets address,physically imitated a persons posture, hurting them physically or verbally like if they don't do something they wanted they end putting you into more risks or cyberbullying sending mean comments through internet.

Teasing is meant to be funny, even though it might go too far sometimes and hurt your feelings. Most of the time it's your friends who tease you and if you'd tell them to stop they most likely would, as it's not funny anymore at that point. Bullying is serious, it's not funny and goes way too far, in some situation it even gets physical. Most of the time it's not your friends who bully you and if you tell them to stop they'll continue cause they know it's bothering you. One of the signs of bullying is that they constantly pick on the same person and most of the time they have people who help them or laugh along with them. The biggest difference is just the seriousness, teasing is meant to be funny even though it doesn't always feel that way and bullying is straight up mean. People tease as a joke and will stop if they know it's seriously hurting you and people bully to make people feel bad, they'll continue if they know you get scared/hurt by their actions.
