Answer 1

Straight edge is basically living a clean life without drugs, drinking and casual sex. It's living a poison free and keeping yourself safe. It is a choice and it does not make you better or worse than anyone. We all make choices and some choose to be straight edge and some don't. Yes, it's true that some people will stop being straight edge when they turn 21 but that is just another choice. Straight Edge is a way of life but has now been formed into a trend. Out there, there are true edgers.

1)no drugs
2)no alcohol
3)no promiscuous sex
4) Yes, we do have fun

Straight edge can generally be viewed as a counter culture, lifestyle, or simply as a long-term commitment to abstinence from recreational drug use.

Im not straight edge to be different. Im straight edge because I know its right. Why do I want to get ****** up and forget all the **** that I did that night? No thanks, I want to enjoy my life by remembering it. Think for yourself.

X- no recreational drug use (includes caffeine- which is a stimulant drug; some will accept drugs such as codeine or morphine for medicinal purposes)

X- no alcohol (some go as far as no Ny-Quil or Day-Quil because they include alcohol)

X- no casual (it doesn't mean abstinence, it means that you won't have one-night stands, but will wait until you are in a commited relationship to have sex.)

People have associated sXe as gang affiliation, but it is a way of life such as vegetarianism or celebasy. it is a way of life that consists of not poisoning your body with ignorance and sustaining a healthy lifestyle.

i am straight edge and for all the people who think it is the "popular" thing to do, you're wrong, and should accept it as a good thing because atleast there will be a few less drug-addicts, alcoholics, or AIDS carriers coming to a town near you!!!!

Answer 2

Straight Edge isn't just something you become, its a way of life you have to make a commitment to being clean and sober! its not about not having sex before getting married it really has nothing to do with that, straight edge is a label that most hardcore and punk kids use because they dont feel that they have to be part of this society who stereotype them differently. i don't know how to put this in words that won't offend anyone but straight edge is not for everyone and anyone you have to feel the straight edge you have to know what your getting yourself into before you start X-ing up or before you preach about it, you have to at least be into hardcore or punk . i mean it sounds stupid but at the same time its shorta true you have to be in a scene to wear the straight edge label because then you will never know the meaning of Straight Edge or how it started and spread out and is still going strong. a lot of people assume that anyone can just take up this label and then when they feel that they don't need it anymore they can just throw it away. **** that if your willing to make a commitment to yourself by being straight edge for the rest of your life! then Be staright edge and get some knowage of Punk/hardcore, go to shows, support straight edge bands, meet straight edge kids, be straight edge because you are not just because you Want to be. i'm not drug free to be straight edge i'm straight edge because i'm drug free, its a commitment i'll hold true for life forever.
