That is mistake number 1. All should individuate, all should strive for great and broad excellence of the highest, order, but perfection belongs to God alone. We were not meant to strive for it, nor are we made or allowed to strive for it.
In fact, talented teens striving for perfection are committing suicide, according to an article on Drudge Report tonight (3-18-18). We individuate to join the rank of living angels, and they are far more talented, powerful, lovingm smart, inventive and creative than we can ever be while alive, and even they do not strive for perfection--they know better than even to try.
To strive for perfection is an overweening ambition that sickens and disappoints, Aim high, but not impossiblly high--that is moderate and acceptable, and that is what we much teach our teens.
