I don't think everyone has the chance to get one, I'll have to postpone mine until I have a job after finishing university and can afford it myself. There's never been talking about whether my parents would pay, it has always been out of the question because of the background we have and socioeconomic factors. Further, only one of my parents have a driver's licence, and he doesn't have a car so he could've been to help either. I'm not a fan of my extended* family, and we aren't very close so they would likely not help at it either, so then I would have had to only learn it with the teacher thing there and that's naturally not free. etc etc etc

Yeah I feel you.
I've only got one parent, and she does not have the opportunity to help me out with money for a driver's licence. I only work in the summer, which is just enough money to have a bit of fun during those months and visit some family, so I'm not in a position where I'm able to save up for it yet either.
I'll have to finish uni first and get a full time job ahah

that is very true, driving lessons are extremely expensive, unfortunately. 
I sometimes forget how lucky I actually am because my parents are able to help me economically with whatever it must be, so I'm sorry. But for me, getting a drivers licence wasn't even a question as both my parents got it when they were 18 and the public transport in my area is close to nonexistent

I don't think it's anything to apologise, from my experience a lot of Norwegians forget that there are something else than middle class and upper class. I went to school with kids that had parents earning several millions (legit) every year and they would go on vacations all the time while I sat like : ) hello. 
I can come off as extremely aggressive regarding these things but I am aware of it, in case I suddenly seem very.. sharp? The majority of the people I frequent with comes from very different realities than me so I sometimes feel the need to tell them that things aren't as obvious as they think. One thing I like to bring up, obviously because I am a dick, is that I've had to pay my own bills since I was 16 despite not having money, I've paid for my healthcare related expenses 90% of the time. I'm a student living pretty much only on a student loan and my mother has the nerve to loan money from me. I am lucky with my grandparents tho, they've probably saved my ass way too many times this year. But the reality in Norway is that not everyone has parents who can help, there are people in Norway who aren't as fortunate as the others, I have a friend who was raised below fattigdomsgrensa so I know people are worse off than me, but I know that a lot of people aren't.
