When does "teasing" become "bullying?"

What is “bullying?” When does teasing rise to that level? The U.S. Justice Department says that bullying “involves a real or perceived imbalance of power, with the more powerful child or group attacking those who are less powerful.” Bullies use physical, verbal, and psychological means to terrorize their victims.
