Yes Teasing can be abusive, if it is severe enough to cause hurt feelings or if someone teases you in public to humiliate you than that is abuse of a verbal nature. The person that does this is a abuser and is insecure about their self to discredit you.... just think of it this way your terrific and they can't stand it.
The right type of teasing is light and fun and not hurtful in anyway...
interrogating, accusing, blaming, blocking, countering, diverting, lying, berating, taunting, putting down, edifying, discounting, threatening, name-calling, yelling and raging.

Abuse is not determined by the abuser's intentions and frame of mind. It is determined by how the victim feels about it. So, if the teasing bothers you and you ask him to stop and he won't - it may be considered abusive.

I DON'T CONSIDERED AN ABUSE IF YOU KNOW THAT PERSON WELL ENOUGH TO BE TEASING HIM LIKE THAT.
Verbal hostility, or in other words, verbal harassment or abuse is basically a negative defining statement told to or about you or withholding a response and pretending the abuse is not happening. Verbal abuse (or hostility) can lead to emotional abuse and hostility in the workplace. This can lead to hatred and noneffective dispositions in the workplace, and this is precisely the reason why workplaces work to eliminate such disturbances. However, verbal abuse is seen in many other places, not just in the workplace. In school, it takes the title of bullying and even at home parents can emotionally abuse their children or spouses.
