16? More like pre-vag-expulsion anymore.
Yeah, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram minimum age is 13, so I guess the others follow suit. Not to mention the underground social media accounts. That said I have to imagine there are single digit kids all over social media. Let's not forget email, skype (or other group chat). And this phenomenon is so new there is no real guidance or rules, and parents are busy and not as clever/knowledgeable as their kids.
Essentially starting at being a kid their life is a public record along with finger printing programs, injection thingees, security cameras everywhere, mobile phone GPS, school badges to swipe, etc... Oh and the cloud is 'permanent'.
Its no wonder kids remain inside nowadays, but even that is dangerous with phone/computer. We had it good even when we were bored. And I was nowhere near a mature 10-13 year old boy, so I was protected. I am so glad. . . . . . . .
Just saying the youth have it tough and they didn't ask for all of this especially without directions.
