Giving advice to people under 18

I keep seeing 16 year olds on here and people giving them weight loss advice. Telling them to start counting their calories, working out their TDEEs, reducing carbs. I turned to the internet for weight loss advice as a teenager and a decade later I’ve been struggling with eating disorders ever since as it’s so hard to do it in a balanced manner when you’ve got hormones going wild AND you’re taking advice off the internet AND you are still growing so your weight will be increasing anyway etc

We shouldn’t be giving advice. we should be saying talk to your family, to your doctor etc

This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m not sure this community should be open to underage people, it feels unethical
