The link above is to an article analyzing the relationship between adolescents who use drugs, aggressive behavior, and societies influences. The purpose of the paper was to address whether social support influences decision making on drug use and the behavior of adolescents. This article is credible because it has a collection of six authors who hold the experience and the education that supports their work.
I believe the main author is Jesus Gazquez, Jose is a full professor in the department of psychology at the University of Almeria and the director of the department of psychology and education. He has done many other works in the field of psychology that holds up, which makes him credible.

Interesting– I wonder if the increase in bullying in schools can somehow intersect with what this article argues. Thanks for the info here. I’d be curious to find out who each of the authors are and what organization they work for. Sometimes knowing who they’re all working for tells you a little bit about WHY they’ve written this article or WHY they’ve conducted this research.
