" Everything is permissible" - but not everything is construtive. -1 Corinthians 10:23
We can praise and thank God for our liberty, but we must not allow our liberty to lead people in a direction that can hurt them. Instead, we are ment to use our freedom to walk in love for Christ.

Joe... perhaps the parents push them to strongly, that would be pushing them away on the inside. Kids need to be kids, don't force it onto them.

No, but I would hope that they would know themselves better. It's a process.

"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself." (Ezekiel 33:7-9)
Isiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

It all depends on where they are in their walk with Christ at the beginning. Without knowing, how can I answer this?

If they follow me they will indeed move farther away...
But I don't want or need followers...
It's My path...
Peace
