Each of these systems is nested in a larger system; each layer is viewed as having a powerful impact on individual development.
Microsystem-inner most system and the most significant to a child’s development Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory, the people and activities in a child's immediate surroundings. Family, peers neighborhood, and school.
Mesosystem- – in the model is the interactions and connections between different elements of children's immediate settings. And healthy development depends on how effectively these elements work together such as parents/school
Exosystem-in bioecological theory, societal influences that affect both the micro and meso system. Such as parents,jobs,school systems, and workplace conditions, like health care that influence both the microsystem and mesosystem.Example,parent's job affect the amount of time they have to spend with their children.

Parents and other immediate caregivers are the most powerful influences on the child's development they continue to influence development throughout their lives.
Research indicates that certain parenting styles, general patterns of interacting with, and disciplining children, promote more healthy development. Parent’s expectations, warm, and responsiveness characterize these differences.
Using theses(above)factors as a framework, researches identified for parenting styles-

Bullying- a form of peer aggression that involves a systematic or repetitious abuse of power between students.
All incidents are of a serious nature, they are a crime and violent. One of a survey showed 43,000 high school students have been bullied at some point in the past year. Bullying can exist either physically or relational aggression, and its victims are often, have disabilities or few friends, immature, and lack self-confidence. Bullying can have long-term negative effects on students. Extreme situations, causes victims of repeated bullying incidents to develop destructive emotions, such as depression and even suicide.
Historically bullying has been viewed as a reaction from adolescents who are socially marginalized, or psychologically troubled, recent research suggests this is not true. In fact students bully to achieve a higher social status, and your tends to escalate until high status is reached, at which time bullying is no longer interesting or necessary.
44 states have passed anti-bullying laws, in many districts they have implemented zero-tolerance policies. Peer juries, and counselors are infrequently used, and their effectiveness is uncertain. Whereas school wide efforts including adult supervision, talking with the Bullies, immediately, appropriately, and consistently, also giving consistent consequences for bullying have been found to be more effective. These findings are important implications for people in the field of Education
Cyber bullying-students live on the Internet and because of this rapidly expanding presence of being on the Internet a form of bullying now occurs when students use electronic media to harass or intimidate another student-this has also become a major problem.
Cyber bullying is receiving an enormous attention after suicides of Megan Meier, the eighth grader who was bullied on MySpace. Since then school officials and parents have become aware of this growing problem.
Experts estimate that 1/3 or every 1 of 10 students, are victims of online harassment. Given the popularity of the Internet use amongst teenagers cyber bullying is likely to remain a persistent problem, and because of its anonymity, cyber bullying is also difficult to combat, consequences for the perpetrators really exist. The best you can do is promoting a sense of empathy, fair-play, and appropriate treatment of others with in your students.

His theory is in the sense that he viewed developmental changes as occurring throughout our lives. Example "Crisis of identity".
Eric Erikson, a developmental theorist, believed that all people have the same basic needs. He also believed that personal development occurs in response to our needs, and healthy development depends on the quality of support provided by the social environment, especially parents and other caregivers.
Like Jean Piaget, Erikson believed that development proceeds in stages, each characterized by a crises, and that the positive resolution of a crises at one stage increases the likelihood of a positive resolution at the next stage.*Problems with this theory he did not consider the impact of culture.
Erikson’s (8) life-span Stages
1) Trust vs. mistrust-birth-1year old-trust develops in infants receiving consistent loving care, mistrust results from unpredictable or harsh care.

3.1
Ericsson's theory would explain the student’s behavior by saying that he hasn't positively resolved the initiative-guilt crisis. This does not imply that his industry-inferiority or identity-confusion crisis cannot be resolved somewhat satisfactorily however as indicated by the fact that he did a good job on his work and he is happy, Erickson’s work would suggest that the students has a personality glitch with respect to his initiative. It may never have a significant effect on his personal functioning unless he finds himself in a job that requires him to do so
You might respond by encouraging the student to take initiative and then reinforcing any other initiatives that he takes in addition, creating a classroom environment that deemphasizes competition will encourage student initiatives
