I don't really mean this in a bad way. I personally decided at a young age that I woud refrain from doing bad things. I became "Straight Edge". I now see kids out there doing this to be "cool" or "in". I personally have never purchased XXX t shirts or took drastic measures to show people that I was straight edge. I've just lived my life the way I wanted to. That is withought Drugs and Alcohol. Growing up I have dealt with many "ADULTS" who drank or smoked and turned into the worst people ever. Some got help and got better, others are still really big assholes when they drink. I no longer keep close friends who engage in such activities. In school it was so much harder to pull away from them because I'd see them everyday and no matter how many times I try to tell them that some of the things I didn't like them doing were bad, there was no stopping them. I understand if you wanna drink go ahead you wanna smoke go ahead. Just know that I'm not going to be your "BUD" or your "PAL". Thankfully I haven't lost any of my friends or family to drug or alcohol related incidents. If you have then truthfully I am sorry that you had to endure the hardships. Knowing a few people like me who are really serious about this and spread the word the best they can. I do want to thank you for getting the idea into other's heads. I haven't really pushed people in that direction. Letting people make their own mistakes I always say. What more can I do but live my life and hope that eventually more people will begin to think clearly and make good life decisions.
