godxsavexus-deactivated20120307 asked: I'm a few months over 20 years old and tried straight edge around when I was 17 but got in it mostly for the wrong reasons and just had the wrong attitude. I wanted to put others down for smoking and drinking and such when I myself had more than my fair share of problems with substances. Needless to say I gave up and fell back into getting high and wasted. Here I am years later, fed up with...

ridinginthecold-deactivated2011 asked: I'm like the man from Australia, I dont drink at all, but I havnt claimed edge.
I worked at a camp here is New Zealand and I can tell you now the worst thing I have ever seen is a kid waiting outside, waiting for his parents to come get him and they never arrive because they are out drinking.
After meeting so many kids at camp and other people whos lives have been totaly fucked...

patterninterrupt asked: I got asked twice today why I haven't drank since I've been the legal age (18 down here in Australia". Although i'm not actually edge, I still abstain and enjoy the culture and this blog. I answered no to both people. It shocks people a lot that I'm not like them. Like a freaking lot.

I love saying that I don't drink. I like having this difference in my...

thriveinyouremptiness asked: Hey, I have a friend who claims edge but is also reasonably promiscuous. By that I mean he’s had sex a fair few times outside of relationships and stuff. He doesn’t see it as a part of edge. For me, not sleeping around is a part of being straight edge. I became straight edge because I wanted to respect my body and I think not being promiscuous is...

super-nothing-1 asked: What do you think about people using edge as a get out of jail free card?

example; at my workplace getting drunk at parties is commonplace. but one new employee gets drunk once, becomes part of an embarrassing story and then claims they are going to be edge as a hope that everyone will forget. being edge, everyone confronts me and tells me to lay down the edge law. except i...

Bending to Stay Straight

The other day I finally got time to start reading “Sober Living For The Revolution” On Point of No Return’s essay included in the book I found this great line that I think it’s a perfect match for questions like zoewowie’s and the like, who are thinking about claiming edge but they’re still not sure if it’s really right for them, or if they’re doing...

theredfield asked: So as I look around my local community of Straight Edge kids and online, either Tumblr, Facebook, or Myspace, I find that a lot of them happen to be “God-free”. Is this just a trend or do you have any sort of insight on why this might be the case? Also how do you feel about Straight Edge in the world of politics and religion, should they...

horrorandlust asked: Well, and what about headaches? Can I take an aspirin if it is so hard? Cause I don't think it is wrong at all if the ache is awful.

Ps. I've seen your answers to people, you're a very cool person.

mdann asked: I'd like to know what you think about people who have been claiming for many years, to the point where they would have been 10 or 11 or so when they decided to become edge. I know that a lot of the time, kids that young might experience something heinous and drug/alcohol related in their home lives, maybe older siblings or parents really fucking things up, or a variety of other things. What...

alyssacon33-deactivated20111105 asked: I've heard about that whole 'girls cant be edge' type shit. And I know its bullshit, and I know its stupid. But Ive always wanted to know the basis for that. I know some people think girls cant be edge, but WHY do they think that? Any specific reasons?

josephramos asked: Sorry to sound ignorant, but I really wanna know: when is it usually appropriate to x up at shows? Is it usually for edge shows only, or can I just x up at any show I go to if I really wanna show my edge pride? Stupid question, I know. But thanks for answering.

zoexwowie asked: So my boyfriend is straight edge but i'm not. But hes the thing, hes christian and straight edge, and i've never heard of straight edge before i met him. And now i know what it all means, hes made me into a better person and so have i to him in some ways, we learning from eachother. But as hes straight edge he influenced me to become straight edge, i dont do drugs, i dont smoke, i'm...

hereintheneverend-deactivated20 asked: I am probably going to get crap for posting this but I really don't care because I want some input from an outside source. I have been claiming Straightedge on and off for about two years now. No, I have not sold out and then claimed again, I have just dropped the claim. And this is why, and this is what I want your opinion on. I am really sick of the tough guy attitude that is kind of tied...

aburialatsea asked: I've been straight edge for over two years now, I get the whole thing about alcohol, smoking and all of that stuff.... but the only thing that I have ever wondered about being straight edge is alcohol in cooking.

My mum cooks a lot of food and flavours them with alcohol, but by the time anyone gets to eat it... the alcohol is evaporated from being cooked. So, the alcohol...

nicolejanelle asked: "I take a few prescribed medications that I would rather not take but am required to and ive been told that true straight edges don't take anything. Does taking prescribed medications make me any less of a straight edge ?"

UUUUGH lol I can't tell you how many times I've gotten shit for taking meds for my Crohn's disease. Especially the time they gave me...

chandlerlarae-deactivated201109 asked: So I've been edge for about 2 years now, but I've pretty much stopped claiming. Whenever anyone found out I was edge they would just freak about it being a brotherhood. Now when anyone asks I just say I'm drugfree. I do know the history, but I didn't know that straight edge was some sort of NO GIRLS ALLOWED club...?
