If someone is hurting themselves with their choices, should they be forced into following rules?

For my AP Lit class we read this book called "A Clockwork Orange" (aparantly it's the most banned book in the U.S.). One of the main themes of the book was 'free will'.
According to the author, to have free will means to let someone choose both, good and the bad for themselves by their own judgement. No one is absolute good or absolute bad. And nor can one force someone into those roles. Forcing someone into being good is a violation of free will (according to the book). And from my life experience, i wonder if i'll be giving up my free will if instead of bed rotting, sleeping the whole fucking day and starving, i follow whatever my mom says, get up, shower, eat, socialize, do work, pray to her God and all the stuff.
