Bullying is when people who don't like you pull down your pants on the HS field when you are in gym. Yes that happened to me.
Friendly teasing is when you pick up your friend at a hotel (HB) to pick him up on a holiday trip, and he opens the door and he is shirtless with a scary old man halloween mask on to startle you.
Jokes are fine when everyone knows the other who pulls one on you isn't trying to hurt you. Bullying is when the person doesn't like you and wants to humiliate you in a harmful context.
How do you know that the 'bullying' by pulling your pants down wasn't seen as a practical joke by those who did it?
Experience.
Nobody reading this is stupid.
