The difference is that joking around means that it was by accident didn't mean it on purpose, bullying means you meant to do it just for your own enjoyment. if somebody hurt my feelings and they said they were joking i would not forgive them i would make them rue the day that they were born.

I think the difference betwen joking around and bullying is joking around is making jokes but bullying is making jokes at the exspence of the other person or ethnicity instead of just making jokes for fun.

I feel that there is no difference between bullying and joking around because both bullying and "joking around" can hurt people in many ways. I would not tell someone but get them back for what they deserve.

I think that bullying and joking around are in sometimes the same thing but there is sometimes a big deifference. Bullying can be used as a gate to be funny and/ or joke around. Bt sometimes bullying is harmful which is not in my mind considered joking around. Joking around is used with a friend to be non harmful, and be a joke. But bullying is used to harm the victim to upset, or hurt them.

And if someone hurts your feelings, and says they were joking around they were most certainly bullying which should be taken in to matters of an adult.

They differance between bulling and joking around is that in bulling someone gets hurt and in joking around no body gets hurt and everyone has fun. if someone were to bully you and then say they were just joking around you should tell them to stop and if they dont stop you should tell an adult.

There is a difference between bullying and joking around. Most of the time when you are joking around everything is funny and you know someone is joking around. When someone is bullying things are very serious and mean. I feel like most of the time you can tell when someone is joking around or being completely serious. I still think you can hurt peoples feeling when you are "just joking around". You have to be carefull with what you say. I would let someone know if they offended me.

The difference between bullying and joking around is that joking around is when both sides realize that there is no harm intended and both sides can laugh at the remark. But bullying is when someone feels offended and the bully was trying to offend the victum. If someone offends me when they are "joking" i would take there word for it and tell them that I didn't take it as a joke and hopefully they will understand.

Bullying is when somebody's feelings actually get hurt. Joking around is when it is with ur friends and everybody has fun. If somebody bullies you and they say thay were just joking tell them to stop and if they don't stop tell an adult

The difference between bvullying and joking around is that when somebody bullies another person, they are intending to offend them and are trying to be mean to them. When spmebody is "joking around", they are usually not trying to hurt the other persons feelings, but instead they are just making a joke that both of the people can laugh at together. If somebody offends me and then say "I was just joking around", i was probaly not care since they are not trying to offend me.

1. The only differece is "joking around" don't hurt person's body, the teacher or parents can't find the evidence. The kids that bully people will not be punished. But they are the same they all hurt people very much.

I think most people know the diffence between joking around and actually offending someone. Bullying can be used as a way for someone to be funny or boost there self confidence. Even though it is wrong to be liked by tearing some else down, Some people are extremely desperate for attention. In Lord of the Flies, the boys are more desperate for the role of being leader and having power then being desperate for attention. Even though they end up killing someone because they believe a rumor that is false. So in the the end bullying in lord of the flies is fatal.

Joking around and Bullying are not the same thing but are somehow in the same ball park. Joking around is usually done to be funny and screw around with someone most times it is with a friend and they know your joking around. Bullying is done to get attention and to make a person feel bad, usually to make the person feel worse than how the bully does. If someone said they were "just joking" with me I would take under consideration if they were my friend or not.

In my eyes I see as just "joking around" as in you are really close with the person and you know that they don't mind that you are doing that specific "joke." Bullying is when you are making fun of someone even if it is a close friend and it is hurting their feelings. It also can be physically as in throwing a rock at someone compared to calling them names. If someone said that they were "joking around" when they were hurting my feelings I would express the way they made me feel and ask to stop. Depending on how bad the bullying was I would than tell an adult or the school. In conclusion, all types of bullying can be hurtful.

When I think of joking around I see it as that you are close with the person, and like to have fun with them every so often. I think bullying is when you are making fun of someone for your own enjoyment. Depending on what type of bullying it is, I might ignore it or tell an adult.

I think the difference between joking and bullying is that joking you are laughing with the person and bullying is laughing at them. If someone is bullying you and says they were joking you should tell them that to you it was not joking and that it hurt you feelings. Also you can ask them how would they feel if you said that to them and to stop bullying you.

Bully means really hurt, the words and actions are harmful. Even though it is just joking, there is too much.

I think there is a difference between joking around and bullying. Usually when someone is joking around, they know they aren't serious and it's funny and bullying is more serious, mean and offensive. If someone was joking around with me and i took it seriously, i would tell them.
