Some times ppl. Have 2 relize the beauty on their own and that could only come from him. Every OTD person has something in them that connects them 2 G -d and they know it their Jst trying 2 push it away. U Jst have 2 pray that he will relize it and decide 2 connect w/ G -d agen. I will pray 4 him 2 relize this beauty. Rite now he’s only 16 and he Jst wants 2 party and I get that. If u pressure him or mention it 2 him he will go more off. U can’t be hard on him ,Jst show that u luv him no matter wat ,and hopefully he will relize the beauty. How bad is he???? Does he keep shabboss or wear tzitzis???? I don’t no about ur community but boys in mine ,they cld be frum good boys and they still won’t wear tzitzis and a lot of them don’t keep shabboss u would be surprised. But a lot of those boys relize the beauty they Jst don’t want 2 accept it. Again ,in the end it’s all up 2 him 2 accept it. If he’s only friends w/ OTD boys then that doesnt really help ,but in the end it’s up 2 him 2 decide.
