art of teasing

• 
  

Long before college


Before high school




Or even (before) being able to multiply or spell Czechoslovakia,



You have probably teased, or been teased by some playmate.




Teasing...it has been part of life... during childhood and even adulthood.
It is a communication act... involving verbal communication, non-verbal acts, and invasion of private space.






I aim to study Teasing


why people tease

different ways on how people tease

why people react differently when being teased





The focus of the study is on college students( at the age of 15 to 19)
Teasing with peers

The significance of this study is for discovering reasons why some people are good teasers; why people get “pikon” easily... and to what types of teasing do people (of that age range) react most violently or excessively(if there is such a term :) )


This may also provide me some Psychological



Review and research of related articles, interviews and (random) surveys shall be the basis of this study.
