Should kids be kicked out of the house when they turn 18?

Boy Spends His First Day On The Streets After Parents Kick Him Out On His 18th Birthday — 'Once You Turn 18 You're On Your Own'

He explained that his only desire is to try and finish high school.

This kid was, and he was not even finished with high school

With the rise of rent and housing prices, mixed in with inflation and the deteriorating availability of jobs, freshly-turned 18-year-olds stand no chance of being able to financially support themselves without any help from their parents or families.

With the average American debt being $58,604 and 77% of American households having at least some type of debt, it's becoming less and less possible for even adults to afford to live on their own, much less teenagers.

This is the world Progressive have created. Americans are being thrown to the wolves by their own political leaders with no end in sight.

I was. Also at 15, and 20 while in university etc. It hurt me far more than it helped me, but didn't hurt nearly as much as the dishonest abuses applied by the Creepy Ones.

Bad idea in these times. Costs are too high and wages far too low. The elites have decided you filthy proles have way too much stuff and are teaching you a lesson about who your daddy is.

Yahoo made no attempts to validate the story... so a little odd that they ran it.

As long as the kid is going to school I'd let em stay at home.
The day he/she started getting crappy grades would be the day he/she was on their own.

In my family at the age of twelve boys were expected to pay their way and help out with expenses. You needed to work and give half to Mom and Dad or find another household to take you in. I enjoyed working and making and spending my own money.

I guess nobody remembers the Depressions or how the working class used to live before WW II.

They may not remember it, but they will relive it again shortly if they have forgotten.

Both parties have sold out the country.

What do "progressives" have to do with it?

Wouldn't the cheesy source disqualify this thread from Current Events?

What do "progressives" have to do with it?

The dawn of the Progressive movement at the turn of the 20th century saw the creation of the massive Federal government we see today.

A government that now controls everyone and everything, other than it's own spending and subsequent massive inflation.

'Cause that would make his grades improve...

They cant make it in CA even at 2 to a bedroom at $3K rent.

I say no. You don't want them sleeping on the streets do you? A Girl? Have Mercy.

That's like Toronto and salaries are far less here. Local businesses hurt big time when citizens don't have disposable income. This has been Canads loing term problem due to high housing and food costs. Ive never seen so much poverty at the local grocery store.

All of this-- 18 yo cannot support themselves, esp if they are still in high school. Who does this? FWIW it's fair at this point to tell your children that you will feed and house them, but not give them "spending" money. That has to be earned by them. But to kick them out? ouch

I was sent to work in residential construction at twelve. My dad worked on pulp wood crews at that age.My mom was a laundry girl at that age.
