MAIN ANSWER:

There is no proof that violence in Video Games and movies makes children and teens behave violently. However, watching violent scenes does seem to desensitize them to such violence. This means that they see so many violent scenes on the TV, movie screens, and video games that they are no longer shocked by them. This includes the stuff they splash across the screens during the daily news report. People are no longer horrified by bloodshed and mayhem, because they saw something much worse on the TV just yesterday.

SUPPORTING INFO:

Major studies have been done recently on this subject by reputable sources, namely The Harvard Medical School Center for Mental Health, The Journal of Adolescent Health, and The British Medical Journal, which have shown no conclusive link between video game usage and violent activity.

No. It is the parents who allow their kids to act bad who make their children violent.

Why does low self-esteem intensify the impact of the various influences on teen decision making?

Teens with high levels of self-esteem are confident and self-assured, so when they face a tough decision such as whether to use illegal drugs, this self-assurance allows them to make decisions independently. Teens with low self-esteem are not confident and often doubt themselves and their decision making. When teens with low self-esteem need to make tough decisions, they will look to outside influence to guide, suggest, or validate their decisions.

Why do some teens give in to peer pressure and abuse drugs?

Because they believe that drugs make them happy. But it's a false happiness and a false escape, because when they're done being high or drunk, they're right back to their problems plus more. Some teens give in because simply that they think they're cool. But parents gotta teach that it's really not.
