So I need to cite an article in this sentence: According to an article from the Huffington Post titled "Textual Harassment-- Another Form of Bullying", “it means repeatedly sending offensive, inappropriate, and unsolicited texts aimed at bullying, threatening, or degrading victims. Sexual messages, unflattering video and photo texts and demeaning comments all contribute to incidents of textual harassment.”
How would I go about correctly citing it in MLA format?
Thanks

You need to have each source of information cited in TWO places:
1. the Works Cited page that is placed after the last page of your paper, and
2. in parentheses in the text of your paper, immediately after the quotation or paraphrase.
The information in the Works Cited page is to be complete and detailed.
The information in parentheses in the text needs to be as brief as possible.
This is a good place for information on citing in MLA format:

Actually, since you've named the title of the online article you're quoting from, I don't think anything needs to be in parentheses.
Just make sure the complete reference is included in your Works Cited, though.
To correctly cite the article from the Huffington Post in MLA format, you would follow the guidelines below:
1. Start with the name of the author(s) of the article, if available. Since the author's name is not provided in your question, you can skip this step.
2. Next, provide the title of the article in quotation marks. In your case, the title is "Textual Harassment-- Another Form of Bullying."
3. Then, include the name of the source in italics, which is the Huffington Post.
4. Include the date of publication, if available. Again, it is not provided in your question.
5. Finally, add the medium of publication, which is "Web".
Putting it all together, the citation would look like this:
"Textual Harassment-- Another Form of Bullying." Huffington Post. Web.
Remember, it's important to provide as much information as you can find for the citation. If you have access to the author's name and publication date, please include those in the citation as well.
