17 years. Fuck im old.

Almost 9 years...god damn.

5 years now fuck yeah.

I've been sXe for about 3 days.

reminder to all people under the age of 21: you arent straight edge.... you are just obeying the law

HAHAHA!!

hai.

Umm.. yup you are correct.

8 years. A lot of people in OC are selling out right now.

7 years of edgin' it

It doesn't mean shit till you're 21.

i abstain. im not straight edge. i agree with straight edge just not what these kids around here call it... we have a straight edge gang at FV now. totally lame. its just a bunch of burnt out stoners that got into xAFBx and stuff that want to beat up everyone.

I absolutely LOVE sXe kids that don't know who Minor Threat is. Cracks me up. That's like being Christian and not knowing who Jesus is.

edge for 7 years. fuck yeah.

I have to say, I'm impressed with how long people in this thread have been straight edge. It's refreshing.

Committing yourself to one idea, regardless of what it is, for almost ten years is pretty cool.

I've more or less been Straight Edge Positive Youth Crew Core of America Until Death (or, for short, SEPYCCOAUD) for almost seven years. That said, I recently tried actual beer for the first time the other month, not because I had any interest in being drunk (I've never been drunk or high, and have never been interested in becoming so), but because I enjoy the taste of nonalcoholic beer, and I was at a point where I was questioning my initial motivations for not responsibly drinking in the first place. When I first identified myself as straight edge, it was mainly a reaction against the many kids around me who seemed to be drinking not because they actually enjoyed it or knew what they were doing, but because it seemed like the cool, rebellious thing to do as an angsty teenager. I had my share of angst, but considering that I never cared for the taste of booze in the first place, I wasn't about to just go ahead and partake in some activity just because it seemed like the thing to do. I also had parents who offered (though I never obliged) to buy me beer or pot on request, so there was never any sort of rebellious element for me either. That said, after I turned 21, and after realizing that I liked the taste of so-called "crappy" nonalcoholic beer (I initially tried O'Douls as a goof, go figure), I started feeling curious about trying the real stuff. Mulling it over for a while, I realized that there wouldn't be much point in me not trying something I had a passing interest, provided of course I did it responsibly, just because I had gone so many years having not done it before. So I tried real beer one night, a few sips of a few different brands, found that one brand was okay at best and most were far closer to just tasting plain shitty, and haven't had an interest in trying any sort of alcoholic beverage since. And y'know, since trying real beer, I feel better about myself being sober now that I'm sure it still makes sense to me, rather than treating it as a mere holdover from my glory days as a dorky hardcore-obsessed teenager.

And that's my autobiography.

Not from O.C. but L.A.- 14 years and still going strong.

Was straight edge and celibate, but never claimed the two.

Then I made my way into highschool.

I wonder if Jesus was straight edge.

Been edge for close to a decade. Oh wow, does time go by fast.

seven years, sir.

my brother goes to edison high and he is telling me that last weekend a "straight edge gang" from FV high crashed an edison party and a FV edge kid pulled out a gun and from what I hear it ended with a fight and no gun shots....A bunch of bullshit. I cannot believe there are a group of kids from fv that actually consider themselves to be in a straight edge gang.

+1

being drug free is great. i hate drugs!
and whats wrong with drinking responsibly?
just a buzz or a casual drink is fine i think

maybe ian feels just abusing is really lame.
i cant see him hating on peeps who drink very little and for the taste.

and sxe has rules, i dont like rules.



the FVHS sxe crews have gotten so bad over just a couple months
all the non gangsta sxe kids should go fight them haha.
