I don't think it's bad at all to introduce a 16 year old to lifting, it's awesome. I would have loved to have started that early and especially have someone experienced to learn from.
I've come pretty far from when I started but alot of it i've had to work out by myself from books and programs and i've not had someone actually there in the gym to guide me.
There's a kid in the gym who is like 19 and must have started a few years ago and he was deadlifting like 170kg and I was like "damn I can't even do that".
What better than lifting to develop yourself, challenge yourself, feel stronger etc... apart from looking good those are the things I love about the gym.
