a child who is overly protected from the outside world, impacting their judgmental, social, and economic skills. this usually happens because of a parent, guardian, or adult figure in the child's life.
child: i can't go out tonight, my parents won't let me because it's too dangerous.
friend: dude it's not dangerous it's literally a block away from here. you're such a sheltered child.
A person who has been secluded from the darkness and evils of the world. Such as war, murder, suicide, abuse, cutting, rape, amputees, disease, drug abuse, gangsters and mafias.
A person who is sheltered is usually naive, likely religious, and does not know how the world works in reality.
Sheltering your children is a terrible thing and unrecommended. It promotes unawareness and makes them more vulnerable to be taken advantage of by corrupt, evil and manipulative people.
The majority of people in America are pathetically sheltered.
A person who leads this kind of life is one who doesn't get out enough, is still pathetically mind-controlled by their parents and is scared shitless of them. Anything fun is presumed to be evil. Common condition in children of very religious families.
