Being care-free isn't far away from the same sentiment. There's a difference between being care-free and being care-less. Being care-free is the kind of feeling that gets me hyped, you know? It's the **** that makes me wanna climb mountains and jump off bridges and go on tour and have some ****in' fun! But I think I understand what you were getting at. However, I think an avoidance of being care-free is a product of a lot of fear. Which brings me to my third point. Your last statement reminds me of the sort of things that every ****ty teacher in my life ever tried to tell me was going to happen to me if I didn't "shape up". Granted, when I was in high school, I was pretty careless. I didn't really give a **** about much. But then again, what teenager does? It's just that I find it to be a VERY general statement. Did I drink and do a lot of drugs when I was 16? Yes. Did I have sex? Yes. I'm not saying that's the right way to go. But it didn't wreck my life either. It's all about circumstance, I guess. Some people are meant to waste their time drinking away, smoking away, snorting away, shooting away every day. And some people are meant to look beyond that. Learn from the experience and progress. Also, it sounded like you were comparing being pregnant as something akin to dying. I like that. I think its funny. |

I'm straight edge but.. I don't have to try to be. I just don't drink, smoke or do drugs. I don't see any point. I have fun without them.. and they're bad for you. That's just my 2 cents.. or 3 .. or whatever

I think this point of view is more in line with the original idea. |

I would just like to point out that there are people who can't think for themselves in every group of teenagers following something. Straight-edge people that Ive come across are retarded, none of them are anything more then a bunch of shallow fucking followers who wouldn't have done drugs anyway and despite that, act like martyr's. Then I know the more relaxed type, figuring stuff out, doing drugs, etc. It's all techno music, misfits and rancid, and wanna-be-hardcore bullshit where I was. Oh, god, and people motherfucking buying punk clothes. Isn't that an oxymoron? Fucking Misfits....

Uhm..anyway.
I'm edge. But I am for multiple reasons. Not to follow some trend. And I don't go around with giant X's on my hands. I only actually like a few hardcore punk bands (Have Heart, Bane, xBishopx). I let people live their lives. But like, if I'm out and someones smoking I either move, or if I was there first I ask them to. Never really gotten into an arguement, and I've deffinitly have never jumped anyone for doing drugs or anything. I really pissed me off that GANGLAND thing the History channel did on Straight Edge. Know tons of stupid kids at my school think I like, kill people. I mean, I live in the moment, but drugs and alcohol is just not the moment I want to be in. And the sex thing, well I respect myself more than to just throw my virginity away to someone I probably wont marry.
