Growing up sheltered

By "sheltered" I mean everything from a child that was not allowed to engage in normal social interactions, to children with super religious parents, to children of super protective or restrictive parents, etc..
Everybody I know who grew up sheltered is all fucked up. They are either incredibly naive or they rebelled against their parents and ended up drug addicts and shit. There are no healthy and well-adjusted people that I know of that grew up sheltered.
Do you guys have any humorous or unbelievable stories of sheltered kids?

I have heard from friends that live near the Amish that when Amish chicks give up that lifestyle and jump into the world then they are freaky as shit. Partying, sex, you name it -- they go after it with gusto.
Never met one myself, though I can imagine it would be sweet. These chicks have been fed healthily from the land and have been doing barn work most of their life. Ergo, they are healthy and in good shape (most of them, anyway).
I be they'd be a fantastic booty call.

Where I live there are tons of Amish people in the surrounding counties. It is not uncommon for Amish fathers to pay young guys off of the street to impregnate their daughters because they need to diversify the family genetics. They sometimes even put up signs advertising it: "$600 for healthy young male to procreate with my daughter".
Fucked up.

I grew up with a kid who was very sheltered as a child. His parents wouldn't let him watch anything above a PG rating, he couldn't listen to most types of music, and was just sheltered in general. As this kid grew older his parents became more and more religious, and I watched the family become pretty strange..
I remember in middle school his parents were sending him to some camp for a week during the summer. I went with him, not knowing exactly how religious it was. I have clear memories of the camp counselors telling us they didn't think god would like gays and stupid bullshit like that. It was one incredibly strange week that I wish I would have never experienced. When I got back my parents asked me what it was like and I told them how religious it was, they were pissed because this kids parents played it off like there wasn't much religion at all.
I don't know where this guy ended up but I gradually saw him start to rebel in high school so I could either see him as an alcoholic living on skid row or I could see him still living with his parents going to church.

I think the concept is pretty fucked up. Father paying random guy to fuck daughter because they need to mix up the genetics...

I think it is pretty smart. Inbreeding can be dangerous due to various genetic cons that occur.
You want your daughter to have the best chance for a strong, healthy child. You don't necessarily want your daughter to marry the 'Tommy Lee' type guy but his genetic mix would certainly set off the Amish strain.
I do understand where you say there is obvious hypocrisy in this, being that the Amish are strict Christians.
However, in order to make their lifestyle choice viable they have discovered they need to improvise a bit, one way is by throwing in a stranger into the genetic pool.
Now that I have written this, I have decided that indeed it is fucked up.

To change the topic, I had a friend that grew up in a very strict Born-again household. Through most of his young years up until maybe 17 years old he attended the church and abided by their rules.
He got lured out because he dug chicks and money. He was the type of guy that chicks would sweat big time at parties and stuff. He had a great personality to go with his looks and definitely dug the attention by chicks.
He started to get high, did blow occasionally, banged some hot chicks and had a business where he was able to buy a Harley, Jet Skis, trips to Vegas and all kinds of shit.
He was definitely living the life, but all the while never had drug or alcohol *problems* and he kept his chicks in check.
Suddenly at age 38 he started to fruit. Not to go into specifics, but his behavior became very erratic and he was subsequently diagnosed as bi-polar. The only medicine after several tries that works for him is a med that renders him tired, lethargic, and basically useless. He is not able to sustain any slight manner of a work week.
On top of that, his hair got gray quick and he gained a shit load of weight to where he is now pretty fucking fat.
Did his prevous religious upbringing cause him to snap later in life??
I always wondered about that..

I think its possible. A lot of people who are raised one way end up the exact opposite. I have a cousin whos mother was irresponsible and not around much when he as growing up, since becoming an adult he's become religious and pretty straight-shooting. I can see his upbringing being involved in that.

Ha...my roomates when I first came to college. I lived at an off campus dorm and had four people including myself living in each apartment. It was all pot-luck so we didnt know who we'd be living with. One of them was a partier like me and the other two were Sheltered. The first night me and the partier were doin beerbongs in the bathroom and playin our cursed Rock-n-Roll music real loud. They were FREAKIN out.
Gradually we were able to turn one of them. He now smokes weed/cigs, dips, drinks, and has even boned a chick. The other one we got drunk, after spendin the night hurlin on the toilet he never touched fire-water again. Then dropped out to go back home to live with his parents.

Wow, they need to offer that sort of shit around here. I have some pretty decent genes, and would gladly pass them on for $600.

It's only scary if you don't know it. IMO, Baltimore kicks way more ass than DC for being a laid back place to party.

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.
