No, bullying isn't the only danger. Addiction is another and that's just as bad here as for any other feed-based system. Legal addictive substances also have an entry age of at least 16, usually higher.

Traditional media aren't associated with bullying and suicide risk. Social media are.
Teens have always bullied, so it's hardly a surprise or preventable on social media. It implies that the victim cannot escape from it though and at least leave it at school. So moving entry age to a level, bullying isn't as bad is a good idea in my book.
Using an actual flushing toilet after being out in the wilderness for even just a few days
That first shower though! And I count music festivals as being in the wilderness for a few days.
I feel like that's the missing last sentence: Am meeting dudes now.
Oh yeah? Care to share some links for that claim? Since Wikipedia has a whole article about Hitler being vegetarian. Apparently, he wasn't super strict about it but he identified as one and the article also quotes newspaper articles of the time. I'd assume "anti-vegetarian propaganda" is a more modern thing.
Lol. Maybe we can drown our enemies in paperwork.
He was vegetarian (loaded topic, I know but probably gets more support than 20%) and loved dogs, for example.
Define filth. What we call spoiled food is great for basically all the critters entering our houses. That's where the stigma comes from - if you don't really clean your kitchen and leave scraps and crumbs in narrow spaces, that's where they will feast.
While I've yet to see cockroaches in the wild in Germany, ants inside the house can be prevented by just cleaning regularly (and not even obsessively).
It's not like lice for example, that really don't care how often you wash yourself and infect anyone with long enough hair.
Ha, sure sounds like it. But you had to wait also before there were only answering machines. Hotlines have always been awful.
It's so stupid too. All they offer to help with can be easily looked up online. I never waste my time calling some dreaded hotline unless it's a special case.
Good default, I'm of the same opinion, in general. We should only restrict entry age if simple education isn't enough - as can be seen by teen suicide rates rising in parallel with the spread of social media.
Sugar isn't restricted but alcohol and tobacco are. Why is that? Because there's a difference in addictiveness and possible harm done.
