Keep my commandments and continue living, and my law like the pupil of your eyes.”​—Proverbs 7:1, 2.

The counsel to young ones is that they abide by these rules along with the Scriptural teachings received from their parents. Yes, there is a need to treat such instructions “like the pupil of your eyes”​—guarding them with utmost care. That is the way to avoid the deadly effect of ignoring Jehovah’s standards and thus to “continue living.”
