Leslie is experiencing cyberbullying, which is the use of electronic communication to harass, intimidate, or demean someone. The messages she is receiving on her phone and Facebook page meet the criteria for cyberbullying. Option A (ostracized) refers to being excluded or ignored, which is not the case here.

Option D (e-dissed) refers to being insulted or criticized online, which is similar to cyberbullying but does not encompass the full range of harmful behaviors associated with cyberbullying.
