I think you just misunderstood what Artemis said. Well I don't disagree with the idea of kicking them out but Artemis made them take an oath to swear off boys so I don't think they get to leave whenever they feel like it.

"and all young maidens for whom I am patron, before they go astray" - She was talking about girls in general not her Hunters. Around 12-13 is the age when girls get their first crushes and start getting interested in boys so Artemis who is against that chooses to look the age of a child who still doesn't harbor such feelings.

" Grow up. Become smitten withboys. Become silly, preoccupied, insecure. Forget themselves." - Exactly what I said previously but this is about girls in general again because we know for a fact that the Hunters do not age nor become older so you can't say that they grow up even mentally because if you look at Zeo she still had the reasoning of a teen most of the times.
