I'm assuming they are grown. If thats the case then it depends on what they are doing. If they have jobs and are able to take care of themselves then talk to them and tell them to find a place. If they don't work, give them a set time to find a job where they can move out. If they are in school, wait until they finish school and find a job. Don't be in a hurry to push your kids aside for a "new" relationship that might not even work out.

I don't think there is realy an age that is appropriate, because all people have different maturity levels at different times in their lives. I lost mine at the age of 16 and I'm 22. My boyfriend got my drunk and basically took advantage of me. Don't get me wrong, I could have said no, but I didn't. Today I wish I would have waited. Thinking about when my son gets older and if he ever asked mom, when did yo first have sex. Most parents would never hear that so I probably won't, but what if they were to ask? Although, I would never take it back because it got me where I am today, I've been happily married for two years with a gorgeous ten month old son. People make mistakes, but hopefully they learn from them. Society isn't the problem I don't think. i think the parents and schools need to start at a young age teaching values, because they are lacking somewhere.

none.  However, the %age that grow up without knowing their fathers or having contact with their fathers is probably far too great, as it is in most parts of the world.

i think so. as a student with a parent thast cares for my grades and me i look at others and wonder the same thing. nowadays more and more highschoolers are becomeing parents and then they drop out, find an hourly-pay job, and just hope that their child does better than them. they dont care because their parents were high school drop outs and didnt care about them.

United States: These ages are typical starting ages, although there are exceptions from time to time. Some gifted children are smart enough to skip grades, other children with learning disabilities or language issues may get left back. There are also a few that are home schooled, some for just a few years and others for their entire educational lives.\n\nPre-Kindergarten - age 4 (attending Pre-K is optional)\nKindergarten - age 5\nElementary School - ages 6-11 (Grades 1-6)\nMiddle School/Junior High School - ages 12-13 (Grades 7-8)\nHigh School - ages 14-17 (Grades 9-12)\n\nU.S. children are required by law to attend schooling until age 16, although the majority finish high school. Anything beyond high school is completely optional.\n\nCommunity College is optional, you may study for AS/AA/AAS and then transfer to a regular college for BA/BS/BBA, or jump straight from high school to regular college. Majority of BA/BS/BBA degree holders do not attend Community College first. Community College & Regular college take 2 & 4 years to complete, although that varies greatly depending on the student's chosen schedule. Some take 8 years to finish the 2-year school, some start but never finish any college at all. \n\nCommunity College - ages 18+. AS, AA, AAS degrees. (2 years)\n\nCollege - ages 18+. BS, BA, BBA degrees. (4 years)\n\nGraduate School - some have minimum age of 23 or higher, College Degree required plus professional experience. MA, MS, MBA degrees.\n\nPost-Graduate School - highest level of academic, professional, and literary experience required. PhD degree.

I think now in days the main problem concerning teens would be dealing with the fact that life is changing rapidly ....including communication with parents before we had a stay home mom and kids were more involved in outddoors and gathering with friends and ...now its playstation..computer.fast food...and no communication with parents...so they meet friends and drugs and pregnancy.....So rather than that I think the problem is we parents should be in each of our kids life and allow them to bring out there wings ....and fly to a higher level. Space....guidance instead of demanding ...encourage.......Finding support will be a problem..

Well, I would say 25% of my friends and business associates were raised by a single parent.\n\nIt is more common today and as long as the child receives love and guidance, they will be fine.

The problem is that many parents don't take their responsibilities as parents seriously.  They're too wrapped up in their own lives to raise their children properly, and they dump the problems on the schools and social system, expecting someone else to "fix" their kids.

Believe it or not, most lie about it.  The average age is 17 with males.  Shamefully 13 with females.

I don't think they belong in the public schools if they fail to graduate when they should have they need to get their GED or high school dipoloma by mail.\n\nIf I had a 14 year old daughter in 9th grade, I sure as hell wouldn't want her around a 19 or 20 year old man that is too lazy to get his act together.\n\nLola is a great example...what the hell is an 18 year old doing in 8th grade?  That's even worse...a grown man in middle school with 11-14 year old children.

it's 18, to not go to public school, and parents HAVE to raise you in their house until you are 18. It's the law.

Yes. 16 year olds have a lot to deal with in society: going to school, maybe working, putting up with bull at school, like cliques and phoney people, some stupid ass teachers.\nmany kids do not have 2 parents, or one or two is not acting right and so on. If a 15-16 year old has problems, like little control over their lives, such as abusive parents or bf or gf or other peers, they should have that independence.\ncome on, look around, see the news; kids have a lot of pressure from the nasty/phoney media and from the not so stable fellow citizens they have to deal with. there is a lot of bull and bad stuff in america's society. yeah 16 year old is right to have all rights.\nof course people should encourage 16 year olds to think things thru and educate themselves on matters, like finance, voting, relationships, health and so on. take care everyone.

Good question. It probably depends on how rich your parents are.

depends where you live. I think the average age is 18-21.
