I'm not sure to see the value of going all the way to 16. 14yo would be a massive win already.

The cost/benefit of social media between 14 and 16 is much more favorable to social media than <14.

13-15 is when the brain is driven mostly by hormones, not thought. It's worst at 14. 14 is NOT the age to let teens off their leash.

I'll take your word for it since I don't have kids in that age range, but I'd tend to think that hormones are in the driver seat all the way up to the 20s.
