It was like sad seeing what these people did seriously like what is the point of going to a party to get all high for like 5 minutes and feel miserable for the rest of the night. it's like completely stupid! Have any of u guys ever had like a straight edge party where it can all be about the music and having fun without the alcohol and the drugs?
its hard to find girls...i know of like 2, then again im with someone now, since like last september so im not really looking, just start askin around im sure youll find a couple
it's also hard to find guys i haven't tried on the website but outside its like impossible. Every guy i meet is out for like the same thing sex and beer but good luck trying to find a straight edge guy!!
yes i have had parties like that, in fact a lot of people there were in bands so it ended up being a bunch of bands playing for the hell of it and then watching scarface. somewhere in there there was a cake fight. and the thing is it wasnt a "straight edge" party, 2 people there(including myself) were straight edge and there were about 60 people or so.Quote:

I guess miami isn't the best straight edge enviornment since i've got freaking drug dealers on the corner of my school. AND I GO TO LIKE A CATHOLIC REAL PREPPY SCHOOL!! i haven't even been able to find any straight edge local bands here. it really sucks to be straight edge here in miami. do any of u guys live in miami??
i tried to point out in my post that you don't need to be surrounded by straight edge people to have a "straight edge" party. also why do you choose to go to parties if all you're doing is watching people fuck themselves up? when i'm invited to parties where everyones just getting drunk or stoned, i don't go.Quote:

did you go to the last all hell breaks loose show in january? i'm not sure what chip is doing now but my guess is it's decent hardcore.Quote:

Actually, I'm having a party in June and like 40 people are going. I specifically wrote on every single invitation; "Don't bring beer, cigarettes, or any drugs!"Quote:

i've tried doing that. when i had a movie night at my house, i did the same thing i told everyone not to bring beer, drugs any of that crap. 20 minutes into the party the guys that were helping me serve the drinks were sticking LSD into the drinks and guys were smoking weed in the bathrooms. its like impossible.
well if you ask people who drink and do drugs to a party you should expect it somewhat.Quote:

Just as its your choice to abstain its their choice not too, you want them to respect your wishes but that won't happen by dictating their choices for them. If you want a party with no drinking or what not then try a) asking people who are with you on that or b) having a party that leaves no room for the consumption of alcohol or drugs and therefore replaces that with a different distraction.
that's easy to do for people who have lots of friends. i don't. i've got 15 stoners who love me to death but can't respect my descision to become straight edge. i've tried making clean friends but most of them think i'm still on drugs and don't like my background. i can't do anything to change people's views about me since it is true that i used to do drugs and i would come high to class and on acid trips but whatever i'll try and maybe they'll learn to respect me like i respect them.
yes, i think im the only one...exept maybe people 10yrs older than meQuote:

I became Edge AFTER going out with her, and i accept the fact that she drinks coffee and dones't listen to much hardocre music, but she doesn't drink or do drugs, so I'm happy.
Well if you can't do anything to change what people think then you're fucked really aren't you.Quote:

I'm in 8th grade too and iunno if they think it is cool and rebelious or what it gets annyoing. I mean once you become edge you also begin to see interbeauty I have found. To many people dwell on a persons appearance when it is their personality you are supposed to fall in love with not their looks. Only me and 1 other girl at my school are edge but at the highschool like 1/3rd of the people i've met are edge. But yeah wait till highschool you will probably meet alot more edge people.
i hope so man cause like i'm bored to death here, there's nothing to do here except get hgh and go to parties to get high especially now that school is done. man the summer is gonna suck here cause like last summer my friends got into drugs and now they won't do anything but smoke weed all day. they won't take me surfing any more or to the beach or anything. it might sound selfish but those stupid drugs took my friends away and that fukin sucks. and since i can't seem to find any clean friends who will accept me i'm stuck at these guys houses watching them smoke, then drink, the puke, then get horny, and after that whole wasted afternoon they take me out at night to get more weed from their dealer! This is how fucked up my life is!! and then when finally i find a decent boy who will accept me on the first day he asks to have sex with me!!! THIS IS HOW FUCKED UP MY LIFE IS!!! and on top of that whole pile of shit i got my parents who won't take me to sXe gigs or concerts, won't let me buy the shirts, nothing they tink that sXe is some type of a cult and they don't approve of it but whatever. so seriously like miami isn't all its cracked up to be seriously it FUKIN SUCKS!!Quote:

ya well when my parents put me in rehab for like a month (i don't know why my mom thought i was like addicted) the principal of the school sent out letters to the parents of the students about my condition!! And do u really think those cuban'/puerto rican parents are gonna let their sons/daughters hang out with an ex junkie? NO those parents look at me with disgust and gossip about me behind my back, i know cause they didn't know my mom and once she came to school and they started saying crap about me to her.MY MOM DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO STAND UP FOR ME AND TELL THEM I WAS HER DAUGHTER!! but whatever llike those cubans and puertoricans haven't done drugs!please, my cuban neighbor has a marijuana plant growing in his bak yard. but whatever i won't judge cause i don't wanna be judged.Quote:

do you really think that you canīt do anything to change the way people look at you or the way your life is? i think it sounds sad that you have given up on yourself and donīt care what people think about you anymore, but then again iīm also human and therefore know that itīs easier to just say things then to do it.Quote:
