Swearing on the Bible was a procedure adopted by the law courts to ensure that witnesses fully understood the importance of being entirely truthful in their testimony. In starting this practice, the courts had no divine authority to say that someone who then lied under oath would go to hell.
Arguably, anyone else who adopts the same procedure is under the same restrictions - the Bible is a reminder of the importance of truth, but neither the person so swearing nor anyone else present has divine authority over the teenager's afterlife.
It is important for the teenager to understand that making promises on The Bible should not be taken lightly.

It may be helpful for the teenager to seek guidance from a trusted adult or religious leader to discuss their feelings and seek forgiveness.
