If you're straight edge, it means you don't drink, don't smoke, and don't do any non-prescribed drugs. Why are we straight edge? It's simple. We don't need drugs to get through life or have fun. In fact, it's truly baffling that so many people actually need drugs to enjoy life. Life is what you make it - and if you need to be constantly intoxicated to get through it, that's pretty pathetic when you think about it. In this generation it's now considered cool to get drunk and high all the time, but in reality drugs appeal to the lowest common denominator. Furthermore, being straight edge means obeying the law. Many drugs are illegal. Why the hell would I want to become a criminal just for some stupid highs? It's not worth it in the slightest. There are so many legal ways to have fun. There's music, movies, TV shows, video games, literature, art, culture and so much more to indulge in. The world has plenty to offer you. Doing drugs can result in addiction/dependence and criminal convictions if you are doing illegal substances. Who wants that? If you're straight edge, be proud - it might not sound like much to be alcohol-free and drug-free, but many people ultimately fall victim to peer pressure and give in to temptation. Being straight-edge doesn't make you a religiously boring loser. It's cool, healthy, wise and moral. Keep your mind clear and enjoy life. There's a bright and colourful world out there.
