10 Problems Of Every Sheltered Childhood

If you grew up as a sheltered child, this list may apply to you.

1. You ruin someone's childhood every day.

I'm sorry, but how does my not seeing Aladdin ruin YOUR childhood?

2. You're out of the loop in conversations.

What are these words you're speaking? SpongeBob? Harry Potter? Whaaa??

Also, if you recognize this movie, you were probably not a sheltered child.

3. You understand more than you're given credit for and your default face becomes this:

Friends may feel the need to explain everything in case you don't know.

4. You shock people with your ability to be normal.

5. Standard lists don't apply to you.

"12 Things Every 90s Kid experienced"....you've experienced two.

6. Friends can't wait to introduce you to new things.


I remember when I had my first caffeinated pop.

7. Your friends also think they completely understand your childhood.

Ah yes, just running after my cows. "You were basically Amish, right?"

8. Your social media looked like this:

9. Your friends never understood why everything was such a big deal.

One does not simply sneak out.

10. Also, begging was never an option.


10. Purchasing sugary foods never loses its thrill.

This little boy is your spirit animal.

If you identified with this list, you may be realizing that although a sheltered childhood was rough at times, you are thankful for the sound head on your shoulders and the ability to amuse your friends with the vast list of Disney animated classics that you haven't seen. A sheltered childhood is not so bad after all.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
