Okay, first off, I don't know what to say about the title, but here goes:
In Religious studies today at school, we were reading about Religious Experiences, and the textbook talked about belief in God and only God, which subconsciously bugged me, so I asked my RE teacher:
Why can't someone believe in another deity or divine being? His answer was: Well, yes they can.
Then someone stupid said: "Wicca" randomly. It was probably a classmate I told about Wicca a while back when I didn't know very much about it.
But then things lead to a downfall, someone sat a few chairs down from me started asking stupid yet offensive questions:
Do you sacrifice animals in your basement?
Do you have a head in a jar?
...It gets worse. He's just really annoyed me, and this little event has been bugging me all day.
He knows I'm Neo-Pagan, but I don't talk about what I do or share my personal beliefs. It's none of his business.
I can speak to my head of year, who will probably take matters into her own hands and sort this out, but I wanted to tell you guys since I feel there's nowhere else I can turn for support or advice.
Thank you for reading, Aza.

The head in the jar thing I understand- but the animal sacrifice? Some pagans do sacrifice animals. Yes, I know. But not for evil intent I'm sure.

Dianda Panda Azareas Aquarinus Things have gotten worse today. In I.T. (Information Tech) I was just doing my work and someone started being weird and saying: "I'm a Wicca mate!" I just ignored him and continued with my work. People started making up things about Wicca and the fact I like rock music and turning it into a "self-cutting" thing. I'm really pissed off. People are just sick, really sick. I hate it, and I feel sorry for them. I'm trying really hard to ignore my dark conscience, which is saying to use evil intent with magic on them. I know I shouldn't. I should do the right thing and feel sympathy for them. I'm going to my head of year about it. If you would use magic against them. You're just wasting your energy. People like that don't deserve any of your time. They're all a bunch of sheep. One starts it, the rest follows. They don't know any better. Just talk to your head of year about it. Let's hope that person is smarter than the others. lol
I know. That's what I keep telling myself.
Yeah. Sheep. Exactly... They're all 13-14 and they're so childish and annoying. I seriously hate being in a single-sex school... It's horrible.
My head of year is kick-a** razz And she used to be a Witch. Well, she dabbled for a bit with herbal magic and stuff. Now she's Catholic I think.

Azareas Aquarinus I'm trying really hard to ignore my dark conscience, which is saying to use evil intent with magic on them. I know I shouldn't. I should do the right thing and feel sympathy for them. I'm going to my head of year about it. I see nothing wrong with casting however you see fit. There are plenty of things you could do without wishing death on someone, and even then, I don't think that's really all that evil.
A "dark conscience" and "evil intent" are all relative. You could cast a very mundane spell, say, on the entrances of the school that will affect whoever walks in. Doesn't have to be anything more than "Anyone who comes in this building will mind their own damned business." or something similar. Is that evil? No, I wouldn't say it is.
But then as a witch I have a very different opinion on good and evil and don't generally deem anything black or white. For instance, my neighbors were doing a bang-up job harassing the crap out of my family and trying to steal my outdoor cats. So I cursed my entire property, assuring that anyone who stepped foot on my property with any sort of harm towards my family in mind will experience hell in a way they never thought possible.
Evil? I don't think so. Not the way I cast it. Now they, on the other hand, might think differently if they ever step foot on my lawn.
Anyway, moral of the story is, nothing is inherently good and nothing is inherently evil. Everyone, no matter who, will always see it how they want to.

Esiris Azareas Aquarinus Yes, I know. But not for evil intent I'm sure. Sometimes- yeah. I mean, people can "work with both hands". Pretending otherwise is kind of rude- and the Loa can be fed in exchange for doing some nasty stuff. All that aside- isn't Freedom of Religion part of where you live? It is. But in a high school of young teens it isn't a very accepting society.

Anyway, moral of the story is, nothing is inherently good and nothing is inherently evil. Everyone, no matter who, will always see it how they want to. I was thinking more along the lines of: Give them what they deserve.
But I guess doing that to a building is a good idea.
You're right. It isn't evil. It's a form of protection.
How about a "Binding from Doing Harm" Spell?
