6. Difference between TEASING and TAUNTING Teasing is when two sides take equal parts in kidding around, and usually, when one side insults the other, there is a tendency to apologize and the friendship continues. Both sides tend to find the teasing funy. Taunting, is when one side picks on someone, making them feel humiliated and unable to defend themselves. Do not tend to apologize because the intention is to cause harm, and the victim does not find this funny.
