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?

@wyatt I can get that, I think sometimes curses are more for the person sending it than the person being cursed. It's a way to feel like we're doing something, and can be empowering even if one doesn't necessarily believe in the efficacy of magick. Like even licensed therapists might recommend writing a letter and shredding it or something, or screaming into a pillow or whatever, it all depends on how you look at it.

@Cat_LeFey Yeah, and from that vantage point I would absolutely curse a bully and wouldn't feel guilt in it (probably even if they got hit by a truck next week :\)
