Too much stress can lead you to make stupid decisions, like taking drugs or joining a gang.

What you feel inside comes out in the way you act or behave. If you are feeling nervous or anxious, you might show this by being restless or by trembling. If you feel very down and out, feeling worthless, incompetent and unloved, you might end up taking drugs, drinking, smoking, stop eating (or eat excessively) and/or join a gang in order to meet your needs for belonging and power.
