By straight-edge, I mean a person who does absolutely NOTHING when it comes to smoking, drinking, drugs, or sex.

Urban Dictionary's highest rated and most accepted definition: Originated from the punkrock/hardcore scene. The philosophy/life-choice that humans should have strength, pride, dignity, honor, and self respect; that they shouldn't engage in activities that are a disgrace to their minds and bodies. (such as ingesting and/or becoming addicted to harmful substances for fun, lying and/or being two-faced, and sharing your body sexually with another person when there isn't even a true emotional bond there)

Though I haven't done any sort of drugs (outside of caffeine via soda, tea, and coffee), I don't count as straight-edge because I drink occasionally and smoke once in a blue moon (not at all enough to be considered a smoker or a drinker, really) and I'm no virgin.

I'm just curious to see where the members of the board stand. There's no narc'ing going on.

I've never smoked before, never plan on doing so in the future.
I've never had alcohol.
Drugs, besides perscribed medication which I don't abuse nothing else.
Sex, virgin.

I guess you could call me straight-edge despite that all the music I listen to has subjects that pertain to those four items (classic rock).

I guess I could count as one. I've never smoked and don't plan on it, since I've grown up around it and just have never liked it. I have yet to find myself actually drunk, I just don't see much of a point in it but who knows where life could go in the next few years. And I still have the V-Card.

There is probably one thing that might eliminate me being a 'straight-edge', but I don't know.

So yeah, I'm awesome?

Never done any of those things... Although I have had plenty of chances for smoking drinking and drugs. And I may have gotten a little high from second hand.

While I don't smoke and haven't done recreational drugs, I do drink on occasion and I'm not a virgin, so I guess I'm not straight-edge. I can live with it thought .

I will never smoke, I will drink sparingly later in life, and I haven't done drugs.

But I'm no straightedge.

I'm not straight-edge at all. It's not too much fun being straight-edge in my opinion. =P

why are some ppl talking about being a virgin disqualify them from being a straight-edge?

it's fine if you're not, as long as you arent doing it with multiple partners is the point i'm thinking.

I suppose I'm straight-edge all of those things that you talked about are not done by me, and I really don't NEED to try them, or even want to(for most of it). I dunno really. It just seems to me that Straight-Edge is really a demeaning term, at least in the ways I'd first heard it.

Well, no drug and sex yet but I think I USED to drink when I was very small, (my brother told me I drank when I was like 3 years old.) and does smoking a cigar count (even just for one time) ?

If not, then I'm straight-edged then.

Ummm... hmm..

Drugs, unfortunately been heavily addicted to one of them. Alcohol, I drink sparingly. Smoking, bleh not lately, but yeah I enjoy it. Sex, not even going there. So I guess I'm about as straight as a spiral curl.

Well, beyond the sex part, I'd say that I am. I don't care for suicide-sticks, nor not remembering what I've been up to (Dealt with that enough without drugs or alcohol)


And as far as the sex thing goes, I'm fairly sure it mostly means you don't sleep with someone new every weekend (a bit of an extreme example but I hope you get the idea) So I don't think having sex occasionally with just one partner would disqualify you. Having had as many partners as you've been sexually active in years though, would for the most part disqualify you (I'm going to assume anyone who has, isn't relatively new to the whole sex thing)

Hmmm...I dunno...I think I would have been classified as "nun-like" rather than straight-edge. There used to be so much that I was extremely against. One thing I will NEVER do, however, is smoke. It would just be really retarded on my part. I'm not so allergic to cigarretts that should someone even open the box and I'm already going into attacks, but I do break out and go into asthma attacks if I'm in a car, someone is smoking and no one rolls down windows, or I'm in a room and more than two people are smoking. So yeah...wouldn't smoke. Not breathing isn't fun.

Drugs, well, I don't even take too much medicine for the matter (I only take it when I really need it...therefore, as a result, I require much smaller doses than the usual for my age and size, and they work much faster and last much longer for me.) and other illegal drugs...never tried them and I never will. I'm very fortunate in that respect, I guess.

Drinking and sex...well...my thoughts are altering ever-so-slightly.

I drink, so that counts me out I guess. Not often though, but I wouldn't call myself a straight edge... except on the drug thing. And the smoking, definitely on the smoking.

Heh Elara, little typo there. I'm more than positve you accidently skipped a "no" there, after reading your post in the Tobacco thread.

Just correcting that for others I guess.
