Hi, i just joined this community. My names Kristy and i am not edge.
I've been reading through the majority of the posts in this community and I think alot of you have a problem with the word "respect". Everyone seems to want to be heard, but no one wants to listen.
I don't feel i have the right to give my opinion on straight edge, because how can you judge something you've never experienced? I do however admire people who can commit to these sorts of life changes. It takes an awful lot of willpower to decide to do something like this.
I never used to think this way. Sure, i was one of those kids that mocked straight edge and carried on like an idiot once upon a time.
One thing though, i know it's been said before but, just because your straight edge does not mean you are any better than me or anyone else. I have been looked down on many times because of my lifestyle choices, but hey they are MY choices.
I think there's bad shit associating ALL lifestyle choices. What you choose is up to you, unfortunately more often than not it is influenced by someone else.
