1. Introduction

Cyber-bullying is a fast growing trend that experts believe is more harmful than typical schoolyard bullying. Nearly all of us can be contacted via the Internet or our mobile phones. Victims can be reached anytime and anyplace, for many children, home is no longer a refuge from the bullies.

Social networking websites such as Orkut, MySpace, Hi5, Facebook and video sharing sites like Y ouTube are used to do bullying by internet. This paper present ten sections, the section are: (section 1) Artificial Societies and Social Simulation using Multiagent Systems, (section 2) Social Blockade and Harassment, (section 3) Social Manipulation and Coercion, (section 4) Social exclusion and intimidation, (section 5) Application of the Proposed Model on Orkut, (section 6) Identity Theft a Cyber-Bullying Support, (section 7) Social Blockade in a Social Networking Using Agents, (section 8) Biometrics to Fight Cyber-Bullying, (section 9) Best Practices to Avoid Cyber-Bullying, Finally, in section 10 we provide our conclusions and our future research on this novel topic.
