Straight edge

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Straight Edge (Often called sXe) is a lifestyle without drugs, tobacco, illegal sex, or alcohol.

It is usually represented by three X's (XXX).

  • X - No drug use (This includes caffeine which is a stimulant drug. Some will accept drugs such as codeine or morphine for medical reasons)
  • X - No alcohol (Some will not use Ny-Quil or Day-Quil because they contain alcohol)
  • X - No casual or illegal sex (This means that you won't have one-night stands and that you will wait until you are in a committed relationship to have sex.)

People have associated sXe as gang affiliation, but it is a way of life such as being a vegetarian. It is a way of life where you are not poisoning your body which is a healthy lifestyle.
