Welcome to The Straight Edges,
This club is dedicated to the people out there who love being Straight Edge.


What is Straight Edge?
A religion? Nope. Some kind of freaky cult? Nope. Straight Edge is a movement that’s been around since the 80’s as a rebellion to the punk rock/hardcore music scene that was all about doing drugs and getting wasted.
Straight Edger’s (sXe for short) are almost the exact opposite of what you’d expect punk fan’s to be like.
With Straight Edge there’s no official rules, it’s more about working out what the negative factors in your life are and working out how you can deal with them.

What is this club focused on?
This club is focused on personal expressions of photography, poetry and prose and learning to deal with negativity that may surround them.

Workshop
If you have any expressive photography, poem's or prose you would like help with, or suggestions on how to improve it, just not us with a link and we will put you under this heading.
Your writing will be displayed for three days, after that it will taken down.

The Workshop is NOW UP! anyone who would like work to be posted note us with the heading "workshop"


How to join.
Just note the group with the heading “joining” and add us to your watch list, you will automatically go on the members list.

:iconjessie-j:
but why 'turn' straight edge and lable yourself? why not just be content with not practising any of the 3 and knowing you dnt do them??
:iconreidsan:
I'm confused. I try my darnedest not to drink, smoke or do drugs, and whenever I have sex it isn't casual. I'm also into rock-punk-metal-indie-allthat. But...am I straight edge? I mean, is a straight-edger just someone who refrains from all those things, or are they something more?

Cheers,

Reidsan

-edit-

if u have u CANT be straight edge! why claim to be somethign your not? why boast about being edge and not doing any of the 3, why not just be content with youself and know u dnt do the 3? do u have to publicise the fact? if couldnt give it your all from the start of your life, dnt claim to be straight edge now and dnt become edge or claim to be edge beacuse its the 'in' thing.

im a chrisitan(even know the 2 arent linked)... i dnt do drugs or drink or have sex. but im not claiming to be edge. i did drink when i was yonger and before i was a christian. i couldnt stay strong my whole life so im not gonna claim to be straight edge now. and how long do u expect to be edge? you do know its a life long thing? not just till it goes outta fashion.
:iconthestraightedgers:
To be straight edge it means committing your life to something. People do change, their views on life change. Its a way of life, not a religion!
I have done drugs, smoked, had casual sex, but i wanted to rid my life of that crap. So i decided to turn straight edge.
Just because you dont do it, does not mean your straight edge. Its a personal choice.

How long do you expect to be christian? Your whole life or until it goes out of fashion!

how long do you expect to be christian?
You say that if they have smoked, drank or had CASUAL sex they can't be sXe...yet you claim to have been a non-christian before you became christian. The fact is that NOW they are sXe. Its their choice. I'm not sXe. I don't want to be. I'm a 'true-school' punk. I drink, i've smoked, and if the opportunity occurs i partake in casual sex. But i respect those that are sXe for their choice.
you do know its a life long thing? not just till it goes outta fashion. People grow. People change. Deal with it.

I'd like to see things from your point of view, but i can't get my head that far up my ass.
:iconburningdollhouse:
I've a question... some girl I know calls her self straight-edge (note she is vegan, as am I, but she's also anorexic...so i don't know whether to believe her or not ) and she says that being straight edge means you can't have any caffeine and some other stuff....is that true?
:iconthestraightedgers:
it all depends on how you want to see it. As a straight edger myself, i limit myself to caffine, its your own personal choice. There are 4 main rules. 1) No drinking 2) no drugs(own choice, chocolate, caffine) 3) no smoking and no casual sex
