John, who is 14 years old, is somewhat small for his age and is often teased by his classmates. he has recently become involved with a new group that is known to use alcohol and marijuana. what factor has probably had the most influence on john's decision to become involved with drugs?

    The desire to prove oneself and to be accepted by peers

Explanation:  Since he was teased by his classmates because he was small for his age, John had a desire to prove himself, as was everyone else. This means that he has reached out to a group that has accepted him and is using drugs. This fact that another group uses drugs can often be evidence of success with peers. Especially those who were teased about some peer deficiencies to be proof of success and acceptance.

Also, the fact that he uses drugs, unfortunately, can allow John to be accepted more than he would otherwise be if he had not had some disadvantage, low growth, etc.
