  I always found this interesting about Finland when I lived there. It's important to note however that Finland has incredible social safety nets and support available, so it's not the crisis it would be for say an American kid sent out on their own
context: My parents started kicking me out around 12. Then would threaten to call the cops on my friends parents (who took me in and did right by me) if they didn't return me.
  Every 3-6 months it would happen again. Rinse and repeat.
  I promised my son that I would never do that to him. He's always got a room with me no matter how old he is, bc life is hard and throws curve balls that we don't expect.
  I've got a laundry list of things my parents did that I'll never do to my kids.
  Edit:
  Shoutout to Mr & Mrs H(R.I.P.), Mr & Mrs P, Ms. C and Ms. B for stepping up and being great people and teaching me what true kindness is. I'll never forget it.
  Thank you every one for your well wishes. Those who endured horrible childhood's like mine or worse, my hearts with you and I hope you're doing better. 
  Please, everyone, hug your kids and just love them. >
  
  Hey, I am sorry that happened to you, nobody deserves shit like that. >
  
  Thank you. That's just been my life. A roller coaster of fucked up situations. 
  I really need to talk to the developer and request "easy mode". 😂
  Hoping my dreams will come true soon. 🤞 >
  
  Seeing as real life is a soulsike, I don't think we'll ever get the easy mode. >
  
  Real life is a ?  Is that a typo? >
  
  Soulslike as in games like Dark Souls and similar ones. Games that are infamous for being pretty difficult without any difficulty settings. >
  
  I can't necessarily reset this one 
  I forgot to go to the save point 😂 >
  
  It happened to my wife.  When she graduated from high school they sent her on a trip to Hawaii, and when she came home all of her stuff was boxed up.  It baffles me how anyone could do that to their children >
  
  This seems like a very American thing. I just don't hear this happening in Europe. I put this down as a lack of community problem. You would be shamed in Europe if you treated your children this way. >
  
  I can't speak for all of europe but here in Finland is normal to leave home at 18. Parent's don't kick you out as aggressively because mostly since it's expected from you to leave, and kids do want to leave and live freely they move out for uni/school/military service after highschool without a lot of encouragement. I have known of cases where parents gift a frying pan or something for your new home when you turn 18 as a cue to go. Some people will maybe stay until 19 or 21 if the situation with the parents is good and everyone is ok, but mostly kids do want privacy. Also have to say that the government helps you pay part of the rent if you're a student (besides the student grants) so if you have a part time job or take a study loan you'll be fine if you live in a cheap place or with roomates.
