So, I am just curious, what you see as a sign of someone being straightedge, but is hidden?

Here's one I just saw, that I find a bit false, and straightedge.


2% of teens have not tried smoking, drugs, and alcohol.
If you're one of the 98% that have, copy this and put it in your signature.

And 47 percent of statistics are made up on the spot. Canada has one of the highest drug trying rate, with a quarter of people below 25 trying it, so no way have more then that tried have tried it.
Plus, who would actually want to be proud like that not to do it? A bit straightedge.

Any other hidden signs of a straightedge?
Like of course, you could be like "Drugs are bad, M'kay?", but that's obvious.

Edit: Shit, it says Alochol too. Even still, the fact that they are going to be proud for being a minority, is rather uncalled for.

Double Edit: Kay, so, I thought this was one of those stupid ones where they were the minority trying to be triumphant, not the majority trying to be cool. :(

I understand what you mean. There is a sig that says something like that, but for the ones who havent tried it. Another sign is if you one of those fags who claim to be fsu.

Fsu? Never heard the term...


"Friends stand united"

Its a gay straightedge group that centers around the music scene. They are supposedly a 'gang' because their entire point of existence is to beat everyone that disagrees with them to near death. These pussies have like 10 against one because not one of them can fight alone. They are known for beating drug dealers, drug users, and anyone who they see as bad. They are fuckn hypocrites.

...Isn't that signature saying that that person has tried smoking, drugs, and alcohol? I don't see that as a sign of being straighedge. It's the exact opposite.  

^This^

Hey, I'm a ''good girl'' who gets good grades and have never fooled around with a guy, just kissed one. I'm polite and nice and love helping people.

And everyone thinks I'm straightedge til they find out I'm really fucked up in the head, smoke weed, and love to argue and fight. XD  

Shocking people's fun!


Strange enough, same here. For almost all of it. Cept, never fooled with a girl, just made out with one once . People don't think I would even drink, until they see me at the party, drinking like a champ.

I see a poser since no one can be straight edge, someone in denial.

Sorry then, 40 percent, worldwide. Sure as hell isn't 98 either way.

Yes, I am aware, and made my statistic of statistics up.

shes right, that sign says "Look at me, I'm really cool cause I drink alcohol and doesn't afraid of anything", not anything to do with straightedge.

I think they were just being sarcastic to make a point.
