I think Youtube already filters that content.

There are very few videos with age restriction and most of them have to do with sexually suggestive content, which doesn't make much sense because teenagers (at least male teens) consume porn anyways.

What kind of unrestricted videos are inappropiate for teens?



Age restriction is sort of a self imposed thing. But on youtube you only have "18+" or "all".

Youtube expects you to rate your videos yourself, or you can get reported and they will do it for you. Basically content that contains one of the following is supposed to be 18+ [1]:

* Vulgar language

* Violence and disturbing imagery

* Nudity and sexually suggestive content

* Portrayal of harmful or dangerous activities

Personally I put restriction when I upload game videos with graphic violence as that is not really suited for non adults imho. I'm less likely to put restriction on nudity and vulgar language although I don't swear myself in my videos.
