Maybe

Since my mother language is different so bad thing I am doing is first I convert English in it then make sentence.
I am trying to get rid of this thing.
Help me with this sentence. Situation is,

My brother goes to school and some boys in school tease him every day. He toldme about it.
"They maybe/might be play with you" I said.
Now thing is I want to know the meaning of it.
Does it show something that happens mostly.
For example, "He goes to park" it show that its the thing that happens mostly like a habit.
Its presnt.
Example,
People maybe /might be eat very much as they don't have to pay.
Is this showing a habit. Or thing that is happening regularly.
Please explain.

If you tell your brother that maybe the other students are just playing with him/Maybe they are just kidding around/Maybe they are only joking like friends joke with each other, you are saying that you think that whenever they do it, they do it not seriously, but in a friendly way. What you are saying is understood in the present and it means all the time when that happens, habitually. The problem is that what they say to him is hurting him, even if they are not intending to hurt him.
