"Is teasing considered bullying?"

There is a fine line between teasing and bullying. For teasing to become bullying, someone has to be hurt emotionally. For example, if you are teasing someone and they are offended or get their feelings hurt from it, it is considered bullying. This is why clear communication is key. If you are not OK with a friend or stranger teasing you, tell them to stop. Usually people who tease are not out to be hurtful, so if you ask them to stop, they usually will! In fact, most of the time these people are just trying to be friendly or flirting. Teasing is fine if it is just you and another friend joking around and picking fun at each other, and no one is hurt by it.
