i was pretty sheltered...
restrictions on pretty much everything i did from childhood until i left for college. ill list some stuff i remember -couldnt watch the simpsons for the longest time -couldnt play football -couldnt watch R rated movies till i was like friggin 18 -before that, if a movie was pg13 id have to call my mom from the movie store and get permission to bring it home (this was when i was like 12-13 or so) -big restrictions on music. when i was 16 i left rage against the machine in my cd player in my car, mom went out to move it so she could get out, listened to it, took away ALL of my 200+ cds and listened to every one of them, throwing away the ones she didnt agree with. luckily i had them all ripped, so it only took me a couple days before i had them all burned. -had to go to church until i went to college -religious summer camps were a norm -internet filter (like netnanny...but much much worse). -i didnt drink / smoke anything until i was in college -the friends i did make in middle school were pretty cool, the smokers and such, but they would NEVER come to my house because they all knew my parents were nuts.
i dont hold it against them anymore though. they were just doing what they thought was best. and i still think i turned out alright...for the most part

What you just said reminds me so much of a good friend of my own, when we were in high school his mom was completely psychotic about all the same things there. Then when he turned 15 he just got fed up with it, started expirementing with whatever, maybe to hurt his parents behind their backs I'm not too sure. But either way now that he's out of there he's a pretty messed up person... all that sheltering as everybodies calling it left him not ready to deal with drugs, he just wanted to try to be in with everyone.
People whose parents are more relaxed seem to end up a lot better off, I know my parents were relaxed and as far as I know i'm doing fine.

I grew up sheltered. My parents were VERY conservative christians and I never really had any social interaction with people outside of my church. It's definitely had an impact on me.

My parents are christian ministers, and I was sheltered from pretty much most things.
But it was good for me personally. I grew up wanting to be myself, while my friends grew up wanting to fit into society and worrying what society wanted them to be.

I wasnt sheltered a whole lot besides from some stuff like matches etc. I played soccer n football but hated both. I always was allowed to go anywhere around the neighborhood (usually 11-12 blocks away). I sometimes stole at a very young age (8-10) because a close friend did it. Nope... can only say I sheletered myself only.
