Title: Are You Straight Edge?
Post by: Manda on July 05, 2004, 10:55:27 am
No drugs/smoking, alcohol, sex before marriage.

On My space they were talking about this and it was on the bulletin board and I just wanted to know if any of you were straight edge.

I've been straight edge since forever.

I just say I've been straight edge for 6-7 years.

Straight edge? HA!

In other words - No, I'm not. Plus, I believe that sex is a man and a woman becoming one, whole thing. There's no reason why it should be AFTER marriage, because it's a spiritual, emotional, and physical bond. There's nothing shameful about it; thus, I believe there's no reason for it to be held until after marriage.

*I believe.

No comment on drugs, smoking, and drinking.

Yes I am 17.

Believe it or not, in (middle school starts 5/6 grade) middle school kids were already getting into these things and I have stayed away since and a few years ago (my freshman year of high school) they did an article in the school newspaper about straight edge people and my friend was doing that and I said I was, and ever since then I've told people that I am straight edge.

Don't worry, I've been insulted plenty of times, for being straight edge.

Absolutely not.  As far as the marriage thing, I'm already 'after marriage.'  More than 10 years after marriage.  I smoke.  I don't need drugs.  Emphasis on 'need,'  except of course cigarrettes.

I wasn't insulting you! I think its a personal choice to be 'Straight Edge' and thats completely fine by me. Personally, i drink but thats about it. It all comes with age here, lol- i can't say i know many people that are 'Straight Edge' out of choice though.

I don't think I will get married and my momma said it was ok to have sex when you're 35 when we were having our discussion on oral sex on buses and how terribly wrong it is...and me being the facetious little girl that I am asked what a blow job was and my mom didn't tell me...she said you can find out when you're 35...and my pop says I can't date until I'm 35...soooooo when I'm 35  I will no longer be straight edge.

I know you weren't insulting me its just I am insulted a lot by people for my decision.

I'm happy with it and most people feel differently about the sex part. Thats okay.

I am not sXe.

I don't choose to label myself anything like that.

In my school sXe, is more like, no drugs, drinking, and not having LOTS of sex, with lots of different people. (I say in my school, more like when I was in highschool) They were a group of toughguy/girlcore kids who listening to Yellowcard, and making fun of fat people.

I'm not saying thats what you people that are do.. so stop right there!!!!11.

I'm just saying that I've seen sXe to be this, and you would think that the general straight edge/sXe statement would be a little more community friendly, instead of being the kids who throw parties while drinking tubs of red bull.

:D Don't get butthurt over this post, I don't have time to come back and be all "AHHH AHHH GET A HOBBY". :|

lol :D But if you must know.

I was addicted to cocaine for a year and a half.

I've since cleaned up.

I don't drink. I don't smoke, anything. I don't have sex, but if I am in love with that person, and I choose to make love to them, so be it.

I wouldn't label myself anything that but me in a particular 'group' of people. But then again, thats a group in itself! non-conformist !!!!!

I guess.

So many of you will change in so many ways as far as your straight or non straight edge lifestyle goes. Many of you will do things you never thought you would and others may stop doing the things they do now.

I just think it's funny to hear people say what they will and won't EVER do. Good Luck. :wink:

this is very true. i think whether or not you're straight edge really depends on what kind of people you're surrounded by. i'm straight edge mainly to shove it up my friends' asses. i couldn't stand the pressure some of them put on each other to get drunk at parties, so i decided i wouldn't act as dumb as they were. but that's not to say at college i won't try a drink or go to a party...if i'm around people that don't care, then chances are things will change. who knows.

I'm not 100% straight edge...
I have never smoked or done drugs and I plan on waiting till marriage to have sex.
I do drink, but very very rarely. I only drink when I'm away on vacations, and then normally it's only an occasional glass of wine, or a beer with my parents (or in a more recent case a shot of vodka, but thats something you have to do in russia, haha). I have only really drinken 3 or 4 drinks without my parents knowing, and 2 of those were in one night.

so yeah... my straight edgeness has a couple knicks. But i'm pretty good overall.

This thread makes baby jesus cry.

Straight Edge means a lot more than just not doing drugs, alcohol or having sex.

That's like claiming to be a rapper because you wear your hat backwards.

Straight Edge was a punk movement.  It means being part of the hardcore indy/punk rock lifestyle but not subscribing to the drugs, alcohol and sex abuse that were associated with it.

OFTEN times it also involved religion.

If you do not mosh, listen to loud angry music or wear lots of black and silver then do not call yourself "Straight edge."

What most of the people in this thread are ACTUALLY is called "young and naive."  Which is very different from straight edge.

Edit: Also, the straight edge movement jumped the shark about 10 years ago.  It's over.  Done.  Stop talking about it.

On drugs/smoking... I was at a party this weekend just gone where I was
the only one not smoking. Of course, being a party with so many young &
naive guests there, narcotics were there also! Gunga seems to 'hijack' my
palate so none for me. I was happy to drink just enough wine so I'd be ok
to drive home after 6 hours, and be able to taste it properly meantime :razz:
