| Straight Edge blockade of Faslane? |

Hi all,
I've been thinking for a while of organising an sXe demo as part of Faslane 365, as I figure nuclear missiles are not exactly positive, you know? ;-)
Anyway, I was wondering whether anyone else here would be up for a trip to Scotland to spend a couple days harassing a nuclear base..? |

Now I've been straightedge since I was 14 I'm almost 18 now..
Not much as changed with my life style since I heard Minor Threat's "I got straightEdge.."
Yes I get picked on because I am...
then today I suddenly felt alone...
Am I the only one out of all my friends who has never smoked or drink,and I'll admit still a virgin..
This 14 yr old that I know..Holy crap dude..14 having sex and drinking
and a 15yr old smokes weed..
WTF? how can kids this young be that fucked up by that age? I mean don't they have health in school?
Drugs make you stupid.
My good friend Andy tired to comfort me, he said "jessi they aren't you.."
Well at 14 I wasn't drinking and I was as innocent as can be...
Sometimes I feel alone in my decison, then I remember there are other people that are edge too.. Saddley none of my friends are..
None of my ex's were..
I know they say "If you can beat them join them.."
Then what will i be?
another stoner kid who can go a day without a joint?
a girl who people think is a whore?
and the only name I know are Jack daniels and Jose?
NO. I will be strong enough, to prove all of my friends wrong..
To prove my family wrong.
I don't to be like them. I like waking up without a hangover, I like remembering to call my friend and what we talked about.
I like knowing that I don't have a STD.
As much as I love my friends I can't do what they do..I'll be more than happy to drive them home if they have had too much to drink.
But i won't have shots with them..
As much As I care about my friend whom I would like to be with..Lets call him "Matt..."
I can't stand the fact he smokes pot, or drinks.
i would like him to remember our coversations.
He likes me alot.. I like him. when he's sober.
It hurts me when he ditchs me to go get drunk or high.
I've been able to deal with it, until now.
I'm torn...between my heart and my morals.
He knows I don't like drinking or smoking, he's never pressured me to do it, In fact in did quit for some time but got right back into the habit..
I guess it's not that easy to quit something that can in the long run kill you.
I'm smart enough to know it's wrong. I just feel alone. |

today, with some friends, I was asked WHY STRAIGHT EDGE? Meaning that to them the idea of someone NOT just natuarally wanting to consume poison was so foreign that I was looked at as odd for it. Make no mistake, it was asked in a nonconfrontational manner.
just wondered how you would answer this same question in the situation.
The whole scenerio seems so basic, but the dynamic was really interesting to me. |

Hi. I just found this community through the website. I'm eighteen, born and raised in Schenectady, NY. I now live in Des Moines, IA because I'm going to Drake University to get a degree in English writing. I've been straightedge for four years after seeing how drugs/alcohol had affected my friends and me. It's been really great and it gives me a lot of pride. I haven't really had any problem with people being douche-y about it, anyone who bothers to ask is generally just interested and some people have actually gone into deeper investigation about it and some have decided to become edge. On a non-edge note, I'm extremely friendly and love to talk to new people.
I'm also pretty much rad...I've accepted it lol, psych. |

Hi. I'm Monica and I just joined. I'm 15.I live in arkansas (from cali). I've been edge since this summer. I used to drink and smoke and have sex alot, so did my parents. I realized what it was doing to their lives...and mine so I quit all of that...right then and there. I havnt smoke or drank since. I've had sex though (I'm in a relationship and have been for months). My "old" friends that still smoke and drink often times look down at me because they think that I think I'm better than them and that because I'm edge that I dont ever want to talk to them again. So I've lost alot of "friends" in this change. But I've gained so much more. I've got wonderfull friends and I'm never pressured to drink or to smoke. Im active in the hardcore/metal scene. But I've always been since I was 5 (thanks to my parents). I love being edge and I will be my whole life. I dont need beer or any of that to have a good time. Beer makes you fat anyways. Haha.

One calls me a freak..Another calls me a werido..I know I don't fit in at all at this ghetto school..I mean I live like 15 mins away from D.C..its great if your into the hardcore scene...
I have friend who I would love to be with..But he drinks and smokes..He knows he bothers me when he talks to me about it..One time he blew me off to go get drunk....
So moving on I do have a Boyfriend..But the problem is he makes fun of me for being SXE....Should I follow my morals and forget about both of these guys..Or should I let my heart be blind and follow it?
I want a nice SXE person...*sigh* |

Well today is another day drug free, alcohol free, tobacco free, This way of life is choice to live better than giving into the downfalls of most people. I made a mistake saying it was a harder way to live. It wasnt hard to make this choice or give up the drugs, and alcohol, and its definately not hard to keep on this path. I didnt mean hard to do but I'm talking about if you have a history with drugs or drinking and have made a change. Think of how many people go to bars and get drunk or get high with various drugs it is so easy to just give in to it and do it without any effort at all, but to abstain from it all and have this belief in your life of a healthy way of living and say no or take yourself out of that situation. Well that my friends is harder than anyone can imagine and for all of us out there who are doing this on a daily basis (by hard I dont mean it literally like its a struggle but the fact of how easy it is to go down the wrong road)well you know that we all have something inside us that others dont. I cant tell you what it is because it is different for all of us , but you know what it is for you as do I.My will is incredibly strong, my willingness to change, my willpower to say no and thats something that will never fade unlike the false reality of a drug that will bring you back to a worse place than you ever thought possible. Well let just leave it at that for now it is really great to be part of this community with all these people sharing there experiences and thought. Peace catch me on myspace http://www.myspace.com/mrmarkypoo
P.s. I'm not saying that it is a struggle or hard to be straight but the fact that a huge number of people in this world easily give into drugs, tobacco, alcohol, random sex all so easy like its normal, but to stand up and say no to it all is what I'm talking about. |

i need to get something off my chest because im upset right now
im in a rating community and one girl just said this
'The same thing goes with drugs. I love and completely respect people who don't do drugs or alcohol, but it makes me so angry to hear "straightxedge." First, I think it's unnessicary to label a choice like that and second, just because I smoke a little on the weekends doesn't make me a bad person. So, yeah, as a teenager, I'm interested in experimenting and learning, ie. I smoke and I drink but not like it's my job.
'
why do people have to automatically think that if someone's straight edge they think your a BAD person if they drink or smoke. i dont know about you guys, but im not going to say their a bad person because of that, all im going to say is that their making bad choices.
ugh. i just dont get people sometimes
any opinions on this?

when someone comes up to you and ask you why you don't drink, what do you answer them? i get the question pretty often and sometimes i find it hard to explain my thoughts about it. so i was wondering what you all think is a good way of explaining why you choose a life without drugs. :)
thanks. |

Hey everybody...just joined the community.
I've pretty recently gotten into hardcore/metal music...and I've always been against drugs and alcohol, so it's awesome that people can enjoy the music and not do that shit, and people are okay with that. I'm not a HUGE fan of hardcore/metal...I like a lot of kinds of music, but hardcore band shows are the best. |

hey guys
the name is brandon
i've only been straighedge for about 5 months..
but i believe its one of the best decisions i've made since giving my heart to Christ
but yea..
i have a few bands that i'm into that are harder than some of the stuff i used to listen to
but, most of the stuff i listen to is kinda on the soft side
mostly indie stuff
ha
i remember some "core chick" ragging on me because apparently since i claim edge i'm suppose to be into nothing but strictly hardcore and metal stuff
*shrugs*
oh well
just wanted to say what's up to everyone..
and hopefully i'll get to know a few of you.
peace.
brandon♥ |

You guys might hate the shit out off me or maybe not.
Ok so here's the deal,i use to smoke.and everyone in my town knows i smoke and stuff but i had decided that i wanted to live a better and cleaner life.so i quit smoking and just didnt do it.and then i found out about sXe,and how one will be so comminting.so i said that i should figure out more about it,so i did some research on sXe and i said i should do this,this is how i wanna live.so iv'e been clean for 3 weeks now almost a month and im getting alot of shit from people,about how im just doing it to be cool or im doing it for the trend,which im really not.i want people to realize that im not just another fake sXe kid and does things for trends
What the fuck should i do? |

what can i do
tell me how can i cope?
i have yet to keep from drinking
you passed away into
what many call an eternal sleep.
fall away into the deep blue deep.
cream puff casper muffins
labrador over fence posts
i have yet to keep from drinking
good morning mouring
i have yet to keep from drinking
and the newspapers are all folded
wet shoe prints line the carpet
i have yet to keep from drinking
family no longer talks
the spotlight shines, bare floor
the piano has been drinking
the memories all have been frozen
the widow cries with her children
the owner is a mental midget
with an IQ of a fencepost
i have yet to keep from drinking
the barstools barren
the waitress fucking hates you
comic section has dissapeared
i have yet to keep from drinking
not me
not me
not me
not me
not me |
