some people experience things in their life like drugs alcohol and substance problems. there are also problems with inhalents. there is so many teenagers dying of overdosing or drunk driving and/or drunk drivers. the way i look at it and the way i live my life is being straight edge.

straightedge was brought up by a band called "minor threat" in the 80's. the definition of straight edge is a lifetime commitment of not using recreational drugs, using tobacco products, and to refrain from drinking alcohol. it's all about living a drug and poison free life.

i have chosen this lifestyle because i don't wanna fall into the things that my friends have found theirselves upon. i have had a foster brother and a friend die from overdosing. so why not learn from the diceased?

if there was one last thing that they could tell me before they died, it would be to not end up like them. they would tell me to stay away from drugs. now i do believe you shouldn't be allowed to claim straight edge until you have experienced drugs or had a bad situation happen.
