23 Terrifying Tales of Sheltered Kids And Adults

When I was 18 I worked at Backyard Burgers (fast food place) and we hired this new guy who was probably 16-17. Seemed fairly normal, albeit a bit goofy, but after a few weeks of working he stopped coming in. I asked my manager if he quit or was fired, but apparently he was forced to quit by his parents because his shifts would often go past his
bedtime… which was 8 pm. Someone who is almost in college having to be in bed at 8 pm… god knows what else his parents did

I have a 35 year old friend–yes, 35–who lives at home and still has a bedtime. Not like ‘please stop making noise after x hour so I can sleep,’ but honest to god lightsout,

bedtime. I didn’t realize how bad it was until she bragged one night that she had bought a secret second cord for when her mother took her’s.
Thirty. Five. Years. Old. I love her to death but Christ

A girl who was worried that she was pregnant because she kissed her fiancé

In my old neighborhood, all the kids would play together outside all summer long. That is, all except one. The kid was super nice and talented, but his family was weird as shyt. The only time we could hang out with him is if we individually ate dinner with the family (invite only) and then we could hang out in his room or the living room for one hour exactly. If
they let him play outside, it was for exactly an hour and he had to wear a bicycle helmet. When he was 12, his parents still had him in a booster seat and he had to wear that damn helmet anytime they drove anywhere. He was adopted
and maybe they were being over protective, but damn. Poor guy missed out on so many shenanigans. P.S.
Homeschooled

I have a friend who is 28 years old, he lives with his family and he still gets grounded and spanked. I feel really bad for him.
He has a younger sister in medical school who still isn’t allowed to talk to boys
on the phone and has to be in bed by 10 PM.

i mean... it isn't bad being 30 and still living with your parent(s)... but you have to contribute (financially) to the household

These type of parents should be in prison for mental abuse of their own children. .

These type people are still children mentally because of the mental abuse and stifling that their parents put them through.

"My fiancé didn’t know men and women had different genitalia until he was a Junior and moved out of his parents house. He was 18, almost 19 years old. It blows my mind."




Mind boggling.....

Sum of those parents need be put in tha bing 4 a hot minute. classic mental abuse is whats goin on their irrational delusions and fears have brought forth irreversible damage onto their spawns

I remember reading some those stories. I was sheltered due to circumstances beyond my control but my mom taught me skills to survive in the world though.

Being a sheltered child is no joke and the damage shows (socially) it's self later on in life. Speaking from experience.
