| this is what Straight Edge means to me - This is a way to seperate myself from everyone else, instead of going against my parents like most kids do, I'm going against other kids. I don't mean this in a militant way, because I don't believe militance is the way to reach other people, "I don't dislike people who aren't straight edge, I dislike their actions. Sure, I get made fun of a lot at school for my for the choices I've made, but I don't let it put me down, I feel it makes me stronger. Like I said before I'm not militant, but sometimes it makes me so angry when I see my fellow school mates ruining their futures. I spread the message as much as I can, but it's hard considering there's only one other sXe kid that goes to my school, a lot of people are always trying to make me out to be a hypocrit by trying to find something I do that is related to drug use in some way, shape, or form. All I,m saying is why waste a precious second of your life ruining your health by smoking and drinking, you should make each day as if it was your last day, you only have one life to live, don't waste it having no respect for your body or your health. | |||||||||||||||||

Straightedge: The definition of Straightedge is a very personal thing, which in turn makes it a very very difficult topic to speak about, but here goes my best shot. I guess the best place to start is at the very beginning of when I belived in this idea. I grew up with an alcoholic father, not the abusive type, more like the never there type, so naturally I pretty much stayed away from beer, liquor, and drugs. Then as I got a little older around the 16-17 age I started to notice I was loosing more and more of my close friends to drugs, parties, beer and such, I started to see talent, and intelligence, and minds dissappear into a bottle. Some time in my senior year of high school I found myself in high school with few close friends, but I also came accross the straightedge ideal, and suddenly there was a way for me to openly prove that I wouldn't be like my father, or the friends I lost, I felt better than that, I felt like I had the inside track on life. Fast forward to my life now. I am 22 and now I find myself in the center of the buisness world as a computer professional. I work in a world of conference calls, meetings, buisness trips, and coffee breaks. I live with 4 guys and they are by no means drunks, but on a few occasions a keg is found in the backyard, and liquor is found in the cabinets. I don't hang out at shows, and none of my friends are straightedge. I think about what straightedge is and it scares me, I think about all the ways people my age hang out, bars, clubs, etc. I think about how I will never ask a girl out for a drink. Then I think about how I don't really belong in the whole straightedge "scene", the average age is 17 at every show I go to, this is not to say I'm not welcome, I just don't know if I belong. I wonder if the invisible "x"'s on my hand are worth it. Then I think about my answer and yes it is worth it. My definition of straightedge... The need to better oneself through whatever means necessary, to purge yourself from whatever you feel might do you harm, to live life as your body was intended. This definition is personal, form your own ideas. "Some Ideas Are Poisonous They will Fuck You Up And Scar Your Mind" | ||||||||||||||||
