    JamDrop - you've made me reflect which is good, so thank you. We undoubtedly live in different times now than 45-50 years ago and there is much greater focus on what's acceptable and what's not. I also experienced genuine bullying for a period of a few months at the hands of a group of boys a year older than me - which definitely helped me to appreciate how difficult it is and also the difference between a little teasing and nasty, personal and hurtful comments i.e. bullying.

    Nevertheless, am I alone in believing that we need to be a little careful to not allow political correctness to remove the depth of some relationships and make sure that we don't generalise that all teasing is unacceptable? I have two older brothers and we laugh and tease each other when we see each other. My wife and I playfully tease each other. My son and I tease each other. And my daughter and I do too. I usually get more than I give from all of them, it's all humourous. These relationships are underpinned by love and all have unconditional positive intent for one another. In that context I'd be alarmed if they didn't feel able to tease me - it would somehow remove some of the fun and depth of the relationship.

    My Dad once wrote in the front of an autograph book I got for Christmas
    " To thine own self be true and it must follow, as the night the day, thou
    canst not then be false to any man."

    I have tried to live by that saying ever since. It was only in my late teens
    I found out it was a line from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Best bit of advice I have
    ever been given.
