An Indian teen claims he was bullied for resembling a 'teen wolf' and kids thought he might bite them.

The claim regarding an Indian teen being bullied for his appearance due to a rare condition, hypertrichosis, is supported by a medium-reliability source from the New York Post. The report indicates that the teen experienced bullying, but no professional fact-check was found on this specific claim. The second claim, about kids thinking he might bite them, is indirectly corroborated by context involving media representations of werewolves but lacks direct corroboration from authoritative sources. Therefore, both claims are evaluated based on medium-reliability web evidence and logical inference from the presented descriptions.
