Teasing: Not Just Harmless Fun

Teasing is often meant to be playful and harmless. But verbal or physical teasing is never okay and is not a healthy way to show someone you like them. Regardless of why someone teases another person, teasing can easily cross the line into bullying and harassment if it’s done over and over again. Touching other people without their permission, verbally teasing them and bullying are never okay.

[@patrickbertlein1675]

These are not facts. Poking people is not the same as sexual assault, which is what pulling peoples pants down is. Going to an adult will not solve the problem, dealing with it by blowing it off mostly does. Literally a ton of research by professionals on the subject, but no one thinks to consult it.

I just found this channel and have been watching with my young daughter- this kind of video is super helpful when talking to her about these hard topics. I appreciate your videos so much!!

[@mattycake3411]

Thank you so much for the bit about consent also applying to touches and hugs. I get uncomfortable when people touch me, to the point that when I'm touched without permission, I often feel like I'm going to vomit. I don't know what exactly what causes this discomfort, but I really appreciate that you touched on the topic. I'm constantly touched by people without permission, and as I said, I get so uncomfortable that I want to vomit. I wish more people understood consent beyond sexual acts.

[@amazeorg]

Thank you for sharing. We're so sorry to hear that so many people are not respecting your personal boundaries. Have you talked to an adult that you trust about how it makes you feel? They may be able to give you suggestions on how to respond or dig deeper and find out why it makes you so uncomfortable.

[@arlenebuaron9468]

This bullying not teasing. Teasing is very much healthy and teaches people how to develop a healthy sense of humor.

[@scptime1188]

That's the point. Teasing can be good and fun, but people can take it too far and it becomes bullying.

[@milahancock6405]

I definitely feel relatable to this topic. I hate it when someone tries to do something just to bother me. Whether it’s a noise I dislike or a specific word, tv show, picture, etc, they would talk about it, make it happen, or just trying to say it JUST to make me mad, irritated, scared, sad, etc. This is basically why I don’t like telling people stuff I don’t like cuz I’m afraid people will keep doing it just to “test” me if I’m being serious. I definitely think it’s an underrated thing to talk about. And it’s pretty difficult to explain for me.

[@amazeorg]

Hey Mila, you did a really great job of explaining it here! I'm so sorry people are intentionally messing with you. Perhaps you can find an adult you trust, and let them know what's going on in your own words.

[@milahancock6405]

I’ve been inappropriately touched before. Here’s my story. At school, there’s this one kid who used to tickle me whenever I came close. I don’t remember how it started, but he began to tickle me, around my stomach, but more closer to the, you know. I always hated it. One day, while walking in from a fire drill, he tickled too close to it. I decided to finally tell the teacher about this. He was banned from doing this ever again. I didn’t even ask permission for it, neither did he ask me. I forgot to say that. He also refused to stop when I said so.

[@amazeorg]

This is terrible! I'm so glad to hear that you told a teacher and that they were able to help you. Sharing your experience will absolutely help someone else find the courage to ask for help.

[@lanhoang9223]

I'm an adult. My friend keeps teasing the people around her, including me. That made me uncomfortable, because I don't like her remarks about appearances, relationships, behavior or personality. As for my part, there's no irking teasing for the past 2 months, because she suddenly singled me out from the rest of the crowd, ignore and cut contact with me. It hurt either way to be with such a friend, her talk to me or her don't talk to me. I hope I will have a better defense mechanism for her, and the likes of her, soon.

[@xenpainoticeme1791]

It's sad that people do this s****y stuff.

[@fearfifofum4650]

I think there are two main components to teasing. 1) The teaser, as opposed to teasee, is reacting from a place of hurt or discomfort. 2) Recognizing and honoring boundaries whether you understand them or not. We focus on IQ at school, but equally if not more important is EQ (Emotional Intelligence). If we gave our kids tools to recognize discomfort or hurt ASAP inside of themselves, and then use that realization to help them soothe their own hurt, I think most of teasing would stop. Negative emotions unchecked spill over to those around us-often in mean ways. Learning how to handle one’s negative emotions, and whether they really need to be acted upon or released, is the most important skill we can teach our kids.

I recently moved seats in science and the people I sit next to are always rude to me, for example: if I try to talk to them they say “We’re not talking to you” or “I’m not talking to you” Even when we’re supposed to. They also keep teasing me on my work quality, I made a video because we needed to and they said “Your video was cringe ” I know it’s not bad but it hurts because it was only me. I just don’t even want to do my work because they’ll just make fun of it.

Can you do a video about girls puberty and what to expect

[@sponchi8678]

Nobody asks if they can touch someone anymore or at least where i live. When i'm at school there's this girl who sits behind me in math class and she sometimes pokes my hair. There was this girl in 6th grade who would squeeze and hug her younger cousin and other younger kids without their consent. I wish more people could watch this video Edit : Let's not forget that one time in 5th (or 6th) grade where that one boy just went to me, touched one of my b00bs and then ran away...

You shouldn't be friends with those type of people even if they don't have anyother friends (that's probably the reason) you or someone else can end up getting hurt by them some way. Stay safe
