On Being Straight Edge



Hey guys! I just would like to take a moment to declare my Straight Edge-ness. That means at nutty nineteen, I am totally drug-free, alcohol-free, smoke free (not even an e cigaret), and living life without promiscuity. I'm just putting it out there, I ain't judging those who are already out there. I really don't have any right to that, but I'm not saying that I don't care if people are doing it, because I do, really do. I know that our generation are often misunderstood for being reckless, lazy and extreme. And really I'm sad that adults think that way of us, but looking at it rationally, aren't we giving them reason to think of us that way?

Just so you know I've been straight edged for a while. I made this decision not because I'm following a rule, nor a trend but because I deeply believe that not every young person out there has to drink or have a vice to survive the pressures of our own teenaged society. I mean, a good number of my friends started drinking after college because people are pressuring them to. We have a choice, we can say no.

@myx, yeah. Yay for free will!

@ezzy, you don't know what an e-cig is? Oh my gosh! Its a rechargeable cigarette. Getting popular nowadays, I don't know if it helps chain smokers or not. Anyway, Google is your friend ;)
