They might go homeless but keeping them around stunts their emotional growth.
This is just an opinion. It's a bit harsh. Do you all agree or disagree?

Leave children at 18 but don't forget him. Help him established on his own feet. Not throw him like an animal.
They should leave home when they are ready. That said, I would have been perfectly happy to be kicked out at 18. I wasn't even allowed to leave home at all.
In my country, nothing in this world would make an 18 year old child to leave the sight of his or her parents. Even at 20, a child can't leave the house to see a friend without the consent of the parents. You don't let a child that young on his or her own. Their minds are not yet fully developed. It takes them getting to 23 years old to be able to stand on their own mentally.
I did not leave my parents house when I was 18, my parents did not kick me out of house when I was 18. I lived with parents as long as I was able to earn my living. In my society, it is culturally appropriate to live with your parents as long as you want, but is it also expected of you to help them with finances once you start earning something.
Forcing adult children to leave at 18 isn’t always best. In my experience, many need extra time to gain skills or financial stability. Supporting their independence gradually helps them mature confidently, rather than pushing them out abruptly and risking failure.
No, it's wrong to make your kid leave home because he or she is now 18 years of age. Unless they no longer want to abide by your home rules and regulations, then it's time for them to get their own apartment and do as they want.
A child can and should leave home when it is necessary and the reason strong enough to be separated from their parents. I see no wrong in a young man/woman living with their parents if they are financially independent and not a burden to their parents. When maturity strikes in, that's when those living with their parents actually appreciate the real struggle of life and then understand the need to support their parents later in life.

As someone who has two children at the moment who are above 18 who still live at home and another who is going to be 18 in December, with the way the world is at the moment, I would much rather they left home when they are ready as opposed to me kicking them out because they are 18.
House prices and even to rent now are very expensive, and if they are happy at home, then why not let them stay there.

Well to move out or not is an individual choice and when the person in question feels good about it or ready for it, then that person must move out. Added to this is the fact that, growth happens outside the comfort zone and never inside it.
However, one thing I feel is - after a certain age, children must be taught to sleep alone and not always with the family. These are small stepping stones, you know.

I woukd never force adult children to leave at 18, I would rather guide them toward independence with patience and gradual responsibility, so that I am able to build confidence in them, which is better than abrupt separation.
