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?

If a curse is part of your practice, then I see no issue. There is no way the offender you describe does not know he is causing misery, and is responsible.

If the principle of a curse bothers you, don't do it. That will become an act of self harm.

@SJAsh_03 I have sent out a few curses in my day. I've never had any qualms about it, mostly because I just don't think I'm that powerful. Best I can do is inconveniences, not real harm. I believe that if us witches could actually do real damage with a curse, then a certain orange clown would not be here, eh?

If that is correct,I suppose the question is: "Why bother?"

My own view is likely a touch unusual. A curse rides the wave of reality and is constructed as esoterically or mundanely as required.

The surest method, in many instances, may be to start a rumour...!
