straightedge? Nov 14 2008, 10:38 PM

i wasn't sure where to put this, and i apologise if there's a similar topic floating about. it's simple really, is anyone here a straight edge? i'm effectively one, because partly due to religion and partly due to personal choice, i don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. is anyone like that? are there different opinions/definitions for straight edge these days?

^ it is truly something to admire So i was a bit curious... From reasarch i have learn't that some straight edge kids have a more violent approach to dealing with drugs casual sex alcohol tobacco... and some are vegetarians / vegan .. Also bands involved in the movement sing against drugs and animal rights etc They are gangs which "punish " ppl for participating in such acts i believe ( cna correct me if i am wrong) i find this very interesting and i often wonder if this extremem measure is needed And to all the other sxe ppl is this really what happens? or is this not practiced anymore? ( i am just speaking from resarch and i reference to the following) <a href="http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/inside/3442/Overview"> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_edge"> <a href="http://www.straightedge.com/whatissxe.html">

I'm straight edge but I don't base my life around it. I have a rare liver disease and a history of drug addiction and alcoholism in my family. I don't really care if my friends do drugs and smoke and stuff and I just don't participate but I'll hang out with them while they're fucked up. I'm not a vegan or chaste though because I don't really see the point in that.

I'm not straightedge but a few of my friends are. Here, we consider straightedge to mean no drinking ot drugs and no random sexual contact eg. no sex out of a steady relationship.

I don't think under-age people can say they're straight edge, because they're not supposed to do it anyway! :P

i'm straight edge i think. i hate smoking, a hate alchohol, and i hate drugs with a passion, the reason i hate all three is because so many people in my family has had there lives destroyed by one of the three. i don't know if i'm straight edge though cuz i get contact highs alot from my sister and brother when i chill at there house.

I drink too much to be straight edge...especially when I'm at uni, lol. Tried smoking once and thought I was going to throw up a lung...so never tried that again. And I would never do drugs :)

you might find it annouying but in the USA most teens have been hi, drunk, ect ATLEAST once so its kind of like something to be extremly proud of here I can honestly say I am straightedge because I don't even want to touch that shit when I get older (yes i have had thoughts but that is all they will ever be) as for the whole no sexual contact thing that really doesnt have anything to do with straightedge

If you were underage when you went edge, wait for a coupla years say, when you're 21 and let's see if you're still edge. Lots of people break when they reach the legal drinking age. Truth.

That is true. I'm the reverse, I stopped using/abusing a few months before I turned 21. Hopefully I stay that way.
