Under and overstating something can vastly affect how the sentence is read, for example:
"You stole my toy, made a mess in my room, broke my favourite chair and didn't clean up anything, I am slightly annoyed".
Now for an overstatement: "I got a B in maths, my life is over, my career is gone". That's an overstatement, also known as hyperbole (pronounced: hyper boo-lee) which is a very exaggerated sentence.
Exxageratting sentences can make your sentences more dramatic and emotional.
