the reason people join gangs

I think some people join gangs because of the environment that they in. Like for example if they live on this block where every body is in a gang in then they go wonder like man, do I suppose to be in a gang,; that’s what that person would ask some one in a gang in of course the person would tell them that they should be in a gang because they in a gang in that person in that gang would want every body else to follow his/her foot steps. Another reason I think why teens join gangs is because they don’t have no family. Like say if nobody at home is not paying no attention to you and you feel that the streets is then you get attach to them and want to become even closer then more people start having the same problem them yall become a group then it becomes one big gang.
