My BFF was very sheltered and she turned out fine at 28. She still hasnt had a boyfriend, had sex or even kissed but really i think thats a good thing! No tats, piercings, weird habits....Shes just an ordinary girl.
one example. Im sure there are more "sheltered failures".
Honey, being 28 and never been kissed or had a boyfriend is not typical or ordinary or even all that normal.

I think it's sad when parents try to shelter their children --- keep them bound by strict curfews, monitor their internet activity, send them to private Christian schools, other stuff like that. What do they expect will happen when their kids are finally on their own to explore the world? All those repressed desires are going to come out. What happens is the young adults start partying to make up for all the socialization and sexual freedom they never had when they were younger. They say that the hardest drinking, most promiscuous sorority girls tend to be daughters of pastors.
Thoughts?
Do you have a mouse in your pocket? This is a joke. Everybody is different and there is no way to say whether some kids rebel because of having strict parents. My parents weren't strict and I was a hellion.

By whose standards? So she has to have rebelled or slept around to be "normal'?
No, but you're painting a black and white picture of the world. One doesn't need to rebel or sleep around to have had life experiences that are typical of a normal 28-year-old. What you are describing is certainly not typical or, as others have suggested, "normal".

Does your 'friend' have plans to ever grow up?
She is a teacher, teaches Spanish. She lives in her own apartment. She owns a car, pays her bills like everyone else. Has friends from high school and college still. Still talks to her parents and siblings. Which part isnt normal?

Generally "normal" people seek a mate in life. Unless her experience has turned her off men, of course, in which case that's also not "normal".
