How to stay straight edge
"Its a nice idea and helped me maintain my ideals even when I was being pressured by others to try things."
How I did it: I still don't plan on doing drugs/smoking. But I would like to get into wine tasting, and I won't associate myself with the sXe lifestyle anymore.
To be perfectly honest, I hated being associated with other sXe kids. I'm not saying this about anyone in particular, but (at least around my area) sXe kids are all stuck up and rude. They judge others for their choices when its truly not their place. You don't want to drink? Great. But you can't expect everyone to share your viewpoints. And going to a party only to advocate sobriety doesn't exactly make your point any more well received.
Lessons & tips: Stick with it. Just keep not doing drugs/smoking/drinking/sleeping around. You'll be fine.
But please, don't turn into one of those obnoxious sXe people who think that they're better than everyone else simply because of a choice.
