Hail Freya, it's Friday! I'm back with a #FridayPaganPoll.

Today, I'm contemplating the ethics of cursing children. By "children," I mean teenagers in highschool, ages 15-18. I'm debating with myself as to whether they are old enough to be responsible for their own actions, and therefore old enough for consequences. (Details on specific situation in comments.)

Is it okay to curse teenagers?

I mentor a high school robotics team, and one of my students is a trans boy who has been dealing with a lot of bullying at school. I'm worried about him. There is one ringleader of the bullies that has been making his life hell. Last week he shoved him against a locker, called him a fag, and tried to pull his pants down. The bully got a 3 day suspension from school, that's it. The school resource officer "investigated" the incident, but no charges were filed because all cops are bastards. Anyway, I'm thinking if the law can't hand out consequences, then maybe a witch can?

@Cat_LeFey no qualms about cursing bigots. Like, high school is old enough to know better so yeah, fk around and find out time.

@Cat_LeFey @therivercrow maybe something educative? That makes them stop and reflect?

@mirabilos @Cat_LeFey @therivercrow maybe that's the "find out" bit connected to the fucking about?

@robincrow @mirabilos @therivercrow Oh, I bet I could make a sigil from the phrase "fuck around and find out." I wonder if anyone has done this 🤔
