Although Education Week’s recent article, Cyberbullying: What Schools Can Learn From Leslie Jones' Twitter Harassment, is aimed at schools, parents can also learn a lot about current cyberbullying behaviors. The article reminds readers that cyberbullying can occur on multiple platforms at once and often takes the same form as face-to-face harassment, including name-calling, isolating the target from their friends and support network, and turning social dynamics against them. In Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones’s case, harassment also came in the form of fake tweets that made it look like she was making offensive comments as well.
