Born into the same house, but she just believed so wholesome-ly everything my parents said. So much eye-rolling from us. And she’d be like, “Guys… I just don’t WANT to swear. I just don’t think we should do that. What is the big deal?” Or, EVERY even slightly rude joke, “I just don’t get it.” 🙄

Young me literally thought that if a couple was married and wanted a kid, they just had to sleep next to each other, pray for a child, and God would bless them with a child. If only all children were that innocent…
No literally that’s what I’m doing when I get married. None of that sex stuff. That’s the worlds way. Taking matters into your own hands. This is God’s way. Letting him work. My husband and I are just gonna lay next to each other and pray and I’ll wake up pregnant.

As the oldest of 5 who were all homeshooled, I'm glad some of you really seem grateful. For me it wasn't the same. 1 - 3 out of 4 sisters have been sexually assulted and none of us said anything because we were so ashamed and frankly couldn't even describe what was going on because we had no real terms/words for parts of the body, especially of the opposite sex. Luckily my youngest had older siblings, so has been able to recognize when things were not okay. 2 - speaking of unsafe situations. Its still hard to read social cues. Through college there were times friends felt like it was time to leave, I didn't understand why. Or I accepted drinks from guys in my 20s who then got extremely aggressive when I wasn't interested. Seems obvious now, but slow on the uptake 3 - speaking of social cues. My siblings have had a hard time finding jobs. They struggle putting themselves out there and then cannot relate to most of the interviewers. We were not raised on cable or pop music so even the basic "hey you catch the game last night?" falls flat because they don't know how to turn that around besides a simple "no". I know downer on a funny video, but seeing how so many of you were grateful for it and and are raising your kids like that I just wanted to offer another opinion.
Homeschooling is shit if your parents don’t implement decent social outlets. I did hella sports and got involved in some clubs so that was good, but I’ve known other homeschooling families where the kids were so protected that they basically weren’t able to function socially
Exactly. The danger of missing social cues, and the difficulty of making a good first impression on interviewers has been rather tragic. As someone who has been put in uncomfortable sexual situations due to sheltering I wholeheartedly agree, that underpreparing your children for the real world should be criminal
We went through similar things and went to public school. No one at school intervened, but at least it was a break from home. Even though bullying at school was bad too. Abusers are abusers, it's not intrinsic in homeschooling, homeschoolers and being sheltered.

okay i love that i grew up in a loving home but being sheltered has its downfalls. i found out about *making baby stuff* when i was only 9. ofc i looked it up bc i was curious and we all know what i found. it turned into an addiction. ive struggled with that addiction since then. im sixteen now. i wish that my parents had actually had an open conversation with me about everything instead of bringing all of that shame into my life.
I don’t think you should blame. I don’t think it’s appropriate to tell a a kid younger than 10/11yrs about sexual stuff (unless in some cases). Mostly parents are encouraged to start having those conversations when the kid is nearing puberty.
@kelebogile These days kids who dont have parents protecting them from this stuff tell their friends. i want my kids to find out from me in a medical, safe perspective rather than a confused explanation. everyone has their own opinion ofc and i understand the reluctance to mention it to younger kids but bc of my experiences i want it to be from me before anyone else.
There are so many resources out there to help you, Elisa. Please reach out and get some counseling. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed, so many people struggle with these addictions, and you CAN change. You're still very young, and this is a crucial time in your development as a young adult. Please find help so you can have a chance at a normal life!
@@elisakeese1401 I was sexually abused as a child, and so was my brother. We were told that sex was dirty and wrong and shameful. So we grew up with some really messed up, painful feelings and views about sexuality. I worked hard to try to overcome those and to view sexuality and sex as God intended it to be; natural, beautiful, amazing, enjoyable, healthy - with your spouse only. That doesn't mean kids don't have sexual thoughts or feelings. We're sexual beings; our bodies are made for sex and procreation. So when I had my son, I made up my mind that I would never turn away any question he had, and I would tell him things openly, honestly, and without embarrassment. So that's what I did, he is now 21 and we still talk openly about anything that's ever on his mind. You can break the cycle with yourself and your future children, too.
Hi Elise! You can overcome your addiction - it is absolutely possible. Try looking into resources from Matt Fradd and The Chastity Project. Also it effects women differently than men, so try to find books/articles specifically geared to women. The cycle of a women’s hormones make the temptation weak then strong depending on what part of your cycle you are at. Be patient with yourself. You’re not alone. There is a natural component of figuring out what things make you more apt to look into it, but then there is a supernatural component too, so don’t forget to pray. I will keep you in my prayers. May God bless you as you overcome your addiction.
Of course it did It used to be called wise parenting and all families were like this It’s no new phenomenon to raise kind, courteous, hard working kids. It’s very very rare now now tho.
@@ingramwifey2016 please don't? You do know they will lack social skills needed for this like jobs right? Like don't be crazy? Its fine to shelter them at some things but if you do it too much they will lack skills needed....
@@ingramwifey2016 "sheltered" is a "sheltered" word for controlled reality. Stupid parents can extend their control as far as they choose, and if you can't see why that's dangerous for a child whose development is beyond your comprehension, you definitely shouldn't be a parent.
I understand the references just because I was raised in church and knew kids like this but I definitely wasn't sheltered. Also grateful my parents weren't strict about frivolous things (i.e harry potter is still my jam & a ton of different genres of music(rock, rap, country, pop, etc.). So it's interesting to see the contrast of how people are raised even within the same church community
I still remember the first time I read the Harry Potter books. They were flat out banned when I was living with my parents, so I had to read them in PDF format on a flash drive at 2 AM. It was an experience, lol.
I was so sheltered as a kid that the day I started listening to and discovered I liked Good Charlotte and Avril Lavigne, I was scared I was going to be condemned to the depths of the underworld.
Excellent name. Nothing wrong with being named after such strong faith. I pray you are blessed and protected as you make your way through this life. Maranatha, friend.
Also a couple awkward moments when I attended high after being homeschooled until grade 9 where I definitely misunderstood some common phrases and sayings
1:38 Ok my parents also tried to sell me on the whole "Xmas is just people trying to take Christ's name out of it" but Xmas actually developed because X looks similar to the Greek "chi," standing for Khristos. So it's still Christmas, and it still has the word Christ in it, it's just a Greek abbreviation.
Heh... as a pretty darn sheltered kid no cussing, no tattoos, no hiphop music was actually what I went through. But I think my parents really are great people who tried to make me a better human being. If they did not discipline me, I think I would have been quite a mess lol
I was pretty sheltered, too, until life really hit, and didn't know what tf to do. I also began to act wild because my grandmother was so strict. tbh I'm glad that I've done the things I did. at first I had alot of guilt and shame. but now I know what's for me and definitely what's not. It's a shame that it wasn't taught, but I'm glad that I still experienced and learned.
My parents did the same... so naturally I did a complete 180 once I realized what "the other world" was like and tried every illegal drug on the market prior to 18. And because of that "discipline" I now live 12 hours away and go to therapy. Doesn't work for everyone hahaha
“Rachel sitting out for PE” reminded me of this story - one of my teenage brothers asked my sister why she was normal most of the time, but like 1 day a month she would cry about everything? 😂 Didn’t hurt us all though, to be innocent!!! His wife just had their first baby this month. 😉
I'm the only girl. 2 brothers (1, my twin) I was out numbered 2 to 1 but it felt like more when we had a family meeting Mom, DAD, Bro + Twin Bro about the rents finding out I lost my virginity. It still feels like I'm literally physically being violated every time I reflect on that traumatic experience. S.E.X. was dirty so the humility, guilt, shame & self loathing was rough but I'm fine now I mean like I will be you know, it's okay. I'm good, it's fine, really no seriously. Xtra Cringe Plz No Thx Unable to Process this mess🤦
my cousins have been homeschooled their entire life. not even going to high school. i brought up rap music once and they (a very catholic family) lost it. their response to something as simple as rap music said a lot about how they were raised.
I was a homeschooled Christian through K-12, and danced to hip hop in dance class and listened to it in high school. Mostly I still love 1960's music as my favorite decade. Some hip hop music is catchy, but newer stuff is just garbage. I was sheltered to a degree, but not this much. haha
I'm a Christian, Homeschooled, Country Boy, so you'd think I'd have been like this, but I was never this sheltered. Definitely felt like the sheltered kid when I was with public schoolers, but around my actual friends, it was me that was ruining them 😅
Exact same here. except, country GIRL here. LOL. Even though me and my 3 brothers are homeschooled, we were never sheltered, but we did go through a little reformed state for about a year until we realized that was all messed up. It was back to listening to T Swift at 3am for me! LOL
This is really accurate lmao, my family's catholic and my mom's a cantor, so I was dreadfully sheltered until about middle school. It's like this cycle that you can't escape, I didn't have friends cause I couldn't relate to anyone, so I was basically just an idiot until I was finally allowed to buy my own ipod touch. After that I learned everything from the internet.
Same, I wish I didn't know what butt chugging was, for example. (That shit is not only disgusting, but potentially deadly.) The Internet has ruined me.
I have a funny story about this one about my Nephew. Here in Brazil, it's tradition to throw fireworks in Christmas or any other cheerful day or event like the Day of Our Lady, New Year, when Brazil scores a goal, etc.. but being a toddler, he was pretty scared about the noise. It was also his first real Christmas eve, given the past one, he was too young. So when I noticed there would be no way to distract him when midnight came, I came with an idea. He already knew how a birthday party works, and liked to sing "Happy Birthday" a lot, so I called everyone when the fireworks started: "Let's sing Happy Birthday to Jesus". We all sang Happy Birthday, treating the whole Christmas Party like a Birthday Party for Jesus, so all the Santa decorations were instead Birthday Decorations. It didn't help we rented a trampoline for kids to have fun, which is something we do here in Brazil for our kids' birthdays. Now even as a young toddler, he knows Christmas is Jesus' Birthday. BTW, Christmas works differently here in Brazil. We do gift one another and all and decorate everything with Santa stuff and Christmas lights, but we have a big BBQ Party or a Big dinner for the more traditional ones, like a real party not so different from a Birthday party. So Brazil's Christmas traditions are a blend of American Christmas traditions and Brazil's party traditions, so it's not unusual for people to get really drunk, throw fireworks, play loud songs completely unrelated to Christmas( Brazil doesn't have the tradition of making Christmas songs at all, so much that most of the songs we associate with Christmas are american ones like Jingle Bells but with a Portuguese lyrics), meet our extended family and friends, eat churrasco sometimes instead of Roasted Turkey, etc... Also, our population is mostly Catholic as well, so we have different decorations as well such as the Presépio, people parading in the steets for the "Missa do Galo", etc... and Presépio kinda looks like toys, so it helps giving this "Birthday vibe" even more.
My kids were Not allowed to watch SpongeBob or Rugrats. They were going to child Care at the gym and they had all the kids sit down and watch shows and my kids would sit at a table and do nothing and say we can't watch those videos because they're inappropriate
My daughter’s sweet, sheltered friend didn’t know what an electric blanket was until about a month ago - she was very concerned I was going to set myself on fire.
It's not bad, really. I practically live at work and it pays the bills. If there's more to life than that, I have no idea what it could be. And because of that, I'm perfectly happy to live and die as a corporate slave. Life is good.
Being at least somewhat sheltered has to be better than knowing almost everything I think tho 🤷♀️😂 at least in my experience, I wish I hadn't known some things at such a young age
I was pretty sheltered, so I had a very limited understanding of “baby making” until after I got married. In fact, neither of us had any idea. 😂 Anyway, we’re a lot more open with our kids and answer any questions they ask us. In my opinion, it’s better to learn it from your parents in a safe environment than to learn it from your friends or peers. Less embarrassing, too!
It truly is better Not being a teen mom, addict or delinquent Oh the horrors of missing out But we know, only “sheltered” kids do bad things or bad horrible choices as teens or adults. “Normal” kids don’t do these things 🤣
@@rachele3334 Yes! I agree 100%. Sheltered by setting boundaries and not letting culture influence your children is good, but not to the point where you’re not even keeping the conversation open to topics that they will eventually hear about anyway.
As someone who had a graduating class of 32 students (nearly all of whom I'd gone to school with since kindergarten), and is now a teacher at a public school, I just watched this several times on repeat. 😂😂😂 The accuracy hurts me.
Really? I'd say I was a bit sheltered as well while growing up, though the only positive thing I can say about it is that it made going to college and seeing how vast and fascinating the world could really be all the more interesting.
Alexis Rodriguez Good for you being able to recognize this! Parents who make sure their kids aren't exposed to inappropriate content do so because they love their children and want them to grow up to be healthy people. They also have very clear boundaries, and that it something to highly respect.
Exactly how I'm trying to raise my children. They're kids. Let them be innocent as long as possible before this world mucks it all up and twists their brains.
Yep this was me as a kid. I grew up with super strict Polish Catholic parents. I still can't curse around them or watch bad movies even as an adult. They don't smoke or drink and go to church several times a week and pray the rosary 3 times a day all of which I was expected to do also. I wasn't allowed to wear shorts. Now as an adult I still have trouble wearing summer clothes once it gets hot. There's so many other things.
My poor kid just realized at her friend's karaoke party that she "apparently only knew the kidz bop version of all the songs" and was pretty shocked to find out the real lyrics 🤣
Oh my goodness! This is so relatable. My mom was REALLY mad when she said "crap" or "shut up." ;) On very rare occasions. Growing up I got in trouble for saying that I was "freaked out." Jake, you did so well! I liked that you added your former speech impediment into the video, haha.
As a European, for me, sometimes I think that these sheltered kids are from a weird film. But after a little, reality just hits me. I find it really interesting how Christianity is so strong, even tho the USA's goverment is separated from the church.
My parents were Polish Catholic immigrants from Europe so I was very sheltered and brought up in a very strict household. It was constant church and praying multiple times a day.
Not really. lol I was a homeschooled Christian from K-12, and this representation is a bit on the extreme side. I knew other homeschoolers that weren't like this either. I always listened to 1950's-2000's music. I watched R rated movies, though tv censored. My mom would hide my eyes or turn the channel on some parts though obviously. But it wasn't like I wasn't allowed to watch or listen. I've always been a dancer, so I was exposed to a lot on that side too. My parents also cursed minus the F word, until I was 15, then they didn't care. I didn't say the F word until I was 23 though when I was required to for acting class. haha Still I would say that compared to most kids I was somewhat sheltered, but the right amount I would say.
I wasn't quite on this level, but the no swearing definitely triggered a core memory. Maybe that's why my mouth went south when I went to college - all those pent up "gosh" moments!!
From someone who grew up this way….part of the sheltering is good. At some point parenting needs to switch from “sheltering” to “training” because parents won’t always there to protect. Sadly these parents usually don’t make the switch soon enough (if at all). The unfortunate side effect is 1- Missed opportunities where society/peers will teach culture rather than guidance from wise adults and 2- Getting into bad (at best awkward, at worse dangerous) situations that could have been avoided by “un-sheltered” knowledge. Thankfully I had friends who looked out for me and taught me how to keep myself safe. I appreciate my parents efforts to protect me and I genuinely believe they thought it was in my best interest, but what I learned from my friends should have come from my parents.
@@maikali8320 You’re absolutely right. It’s like you want to protect your child from all of the over-sexualizing but be real with them so they can be savvy at protecting themselves since parents can’t always be there. I listened to a woman’s story where her parents homeschooled her and totally shielded her but didn’t prepare her. She ended up trusting everyone and when she was a teenager met a guy at a concert who groomed her and by 17 she was sex trafficked.
True story, I outed myself as a sheltered kid one time at trivia night ‘cause they played a song instrumental, and I guessed Like a Surgeon, instead of Like a Virgin.

The look and fake laughter for the joke he didn't get was perfect. Lots of funny in this one! Great job, Jake!😂
Yes! So relatable, and of course the other kids would be like, "you don't get it, do you?" 🤣😅
Thank you for keeping the speech impediment bit alive, it truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
The “truth or day-ur” bit got me.

okay i love that i grew up in a loving home but being sheltered has its downfalls. i found out about *making baby stuff* when i was only 9. ofc i looked it up bc i was curious and we all know what i found. it turned into an addiction. ive struggled with that addiction since then. im sixteen now. i wish that my parents had actually had an open conversation with me about everything instead of bringing all of that shame into my life.
I don’t think you should blame. I don’t think it’s appropriate to tell a a kid younger than 10/11yrs about sexual stuff (unless in some cases). Mostly parents are encouraged to start having those conversations when the kid is nearing puberty.
@kelebogile
These days kids who dont have parents protecting them from this stuff tell their friends. i want my kids to find out from me in a medical, safe perspective rather than a confused explanation. everyone has their own opinion ofc and i understand the reluctance to mention it to younger kids but bc of my experiences i want it to be from me before anyone else.
There are so many resources out there to help you, Elisa. Please reach out and get some counseling. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed, so many people struggle with these addictions, and you CAN change. You're still very young, and this is a crucial time in your development as a young adult. Please find help so you can have a chance at a normal life!
@@elisakeese1401 I was sexually abused as a child, and so was my brother. We were told that sex was dirty and wrong and shameful. So we grew up with some really messed up, painful feelings and views about sexuality. I worked hard to try to overcome those and to view sexuality and sex as God intended it to be; natural, beautiful, amazing, enjoyable, healthy - with your spouse only. That doesn't mean kids don't have sexual thoughts or feelings. We're sexual beings; our bodies are made for sex and procreation. So when I had my son, I made up my mind that I would never turn away any question he had, and I would tell him things openly, honestly, and without embarrassment. So that's what I did, he is now 21 and we still talk openly about anything that's ever on his mind. You can break the cycle with yourself and your future children, too.
Hi Elise! You can overcome your addiction - it is absolutely possible. Try looking into resources from Matt Fradd and The Chastity Project. Also it effects women differently than men, so try to find books/articles specifically geared to women. The cycle of a women’s hormones make the temptation weak then strong depending on what part of your cycle you are at. Be patient with yourself. You’re not alone. There is a natural component of figuring out what things make you more apt to look into it, but then there is a supernatural component too, so don’t forget to pray. I will keep you in my prayers. May God bless you as you overcome your addiction.
Loved my sheltered life! Not this extreme but felt like it helped bring me success and happiness into my life.
Of course it did
It used to be called wise parenting and all families were like this
It’s no new phenomenon to raise kind, courteous, hard working kids. It’s very very rare now now tho.
I feel the same way! I plan on sheltering my kids as well 😊😊
@@ingramwifey2016 please don't? You do know they will lack social skills needed for this like jobs right? Like don't be crazy? Its fine to shelter them at some things but if you do it too much they will lack skills needed....
@@ingramwifey2016 "sheltered" is a "sheltered" word for controlled reality. Stupid parents can extend their control as far as they choose, and if you can't see why that's dangerous for a child whose development is beyond your comprehension, you definitely shouldn't be a parent.
@@sterlingarcher606 lol thanks for the advice 😘
I understand the references just because I was raised in church and knew kids like this but I definitely wasn't sheltered. Also grateful my parents weren't strict about frivolous things (i.e harry potter is still my jam & a ton of different genres of music(rock, rap, country, pop, etc.). So it's interesting to see the contrast of how people are raised even within the same church community
I still remember the first time I read the Harry Potter books. They were flat out banned when I was living with my parents, so I had to read them in PDF format on a flash drive at 2 AM. It was an experience, lol.
This is a legit representation of what it’s like to be homeschooled
Not for me it wasn't.
I was so sheltered as a kid that the day I started listening to and discovered I liked Good Charlotte and Avril Lavigne, I was scared I was going to be condemned to the depths of the underworld.
I feel personally attacked 😂😂😂 this is so me as a parent and how my mother raised me. I can’t stop laughing.. this is so on point!
Homeschooled here, not sheltered, extremely grateful.
As a sheltered christian kid who is named Shadrack, I'm VERY attacked by this lol
Excellent name. Nothing wrong with being named after such strong faith. I pray you are blessed and protected as you make your way through this life. Maranatha, friend.
this is incredible on point. like literally every set, its frightening
The calf cramp joke has me rolling 😂
Definitely bringing back some childhood and early teen year memories
Also a couple awkward moments when I attended high after being homeschooled until grade 9 where I definitely misunderstood some common phrases and sayings
Oh my god, this is so relatable. I understand this video completely.
The ‘gosh’ and ‘jeez’ ones got me good.
1:38 Ok my parents also tried to sell me on the whole "Xmas is just people trying to take Christ's name out of it" but Xmas actually developed because X looks similar to the Greek "chi," standing for Khristos. So it's still Christmas, and it still has the word Christ in it, it's just a Greek abbreviation.
Heh... as a pretty darn sheltered kid no cussing, no tattoos, no hiphop music was actually what I went through. But I think my parents really are great people who tried to make me a better human being. If they did not discipline me, I think I would have been quite a mess lol
I agree, same for me here.
ditto hehe
I was pretty sheltered, too, until life really hit, and didn't know what tf to do. I also began to act wild because my grandmother was so strict. tbh I'm glad that I've done the things I did. at first I had alot of guilt and shame. but now I know what's for me and definitely what's not. It's a shame that it wasn't taught, but I'm glad that I still experienced and learned.
My parents did the same... so naturally I did a complete 180 once I realized what "the other world" was like and tried every illegal drug on the market prior to 18. And because of that "discipline" I now live 12 hours away and go to therapy. Doesn't work for everyone hahaha
@@kmot92 I know it's bad thing and all but _every_ illegal drug on the market? Shit that's some dedication I gotta admit.
I love Jake. So genuine and this one is so accurate. Lol keep it up guys!!
I feel so called out and so understood at the same time.
“Rachel sitting out for PE” reminded me of this story - one of my teenage brothers asked my sister why she was normal most of the time, but like 1 day a month she would cry about everything? 😂 Didn’t hurt us all though, to be innocent!!! His wife just had their first baby this month. 😉
I'm the only girl. 2 brothers (1, my twin)
I was out numbered 2 to 1 but it felt like more when we had a family meeting Mom, DAD, Bro + Twin Bro about the rents finding out I lost my virginity. It still feels like I'm literally physically being violated every time I reflect on that traumatic experience. S.E.X. was dirty so the humility, guilt, shame & self loathing was rough but I'm fine now I mean like I will be you know, it's okay. I'm good, it's fine, really no seriously.
Xtra Cringe Plz No Thx Unable to Process this mess🤦
THIS CHANNEL NEEDS TO BE AT 5MIL! Let’s go boys. Cheers from California 🌴🔥
Not sure why but the "what I thought French kissing was" joke had me LOLing... So random and weird it was hilarious
The way he said church got me thanks for this.
my cousins have been homeschooled their entire life. not even going to high school. i brought up rap music once and they (a very catholic family) lost it. their response to something as simple as rap music said a lot about how they were raised.
I was a homeschooled Christian through K-12, and danced to hip hop in dance class and listened to it in high school. Mostly I still love 1960's music as my favorite decade. Some hip hop music is catchy, but newer stuff is just garbage. I was sheltered to a degree, but not this much. haha
"What? What IS going on?" LOL! So cute.
My mom said said “damn” one time and I cried. 😂😂😂
I had the opposite, super liberal, overly TMI about all the things, so this video was funny and other-worldly to me!! :)
That sounds awful
@@austinh.1293 why tho? Alot of sheltered kids end up having no social skills what so ever and also get abused at home
@@tacobell1299 what are you talking about? Christian parents don't abuse their kids
@@austinh.1293 yes they do... anyone can be an abuser
@@catsplat1272 it happens much less with christian parents because they follow the Bible typically
I'm a Christian, Homeschooled, Country Boy, so you'd think I'd have been like this, but I was never this sheltered. Definitely felt like the sheltered kid when I was with public schoolers, but around my actual friends, it was me that was ruining them 😅
Exact same here. except, country GIRL here. LOL. Even though me and my 3 brothers are homeschooled, we were never sheltered, but we did go through a little reformed state for about a year until we realized that was all messed up. It was back to listening to T Swift at 3am for me! LOL
this is definitely one of my favorites
This is like watching someone do trauma therapy, hahaha. Jake has definitely lived this character
This is really accurate lmao, my family's catholic and my mom's a cantor, so I was dreadfully sheltered until about middle school. It's like this cycle that you can't escape, I didn't have friends cause I couldn't relate to anyone, so I was basically just an idiot until I was finally allowed to buy my own ipod touch. After that I learned everything from the internet.
As someone who was not sheltered/protected, I appreciate this because as adult I realize there are literally things I wish I didn’t know.
Same, I wish I didn't know what butt chugging was, for example. (That shit is not only disgusting, but potentially deadly.)
The Internet has ruined me.
0:38 “One time, my Mom said CRAP!” Exhales!
The only inaccurate thing about this is the Santa thing. My parents told us Santa was a lie and distracted from the true meaning of Christmas
I have a funny story about this one about my Nephew. Here in Brazil, it's tradition to throw fireworks in Christmas or any other cheerful day or event like the Day of Our Lady, New Year, when Brazil scores a goal, etc.. but being a toddler, he was pretty scared about the noise. It was also his first real Christmas eve, given the past one, he was too young. So when I noticed there would be no way to distract him when midnight came, I came with an idea.
He already knew how a birthday party works, and liked to sing "Happy Birthday" a lot, so I called everyone when the fireworks started: "Let's sing Happy Birthday to Jesus". We all sang Happy Birthday, treating the whole Christmas Party like a Birthday Party for Jesus, so all the Santa decorations were instead Birthday Decorations. It didn't help we rented a trampoline for kids to have fun, which is something we do here in Brazil for our kids' birthdays. Now even as a young toddler, he knows Christmas is Jesus' Birthday.
BTW, Christmas works differently here in Brazil. We do gift one another and all and decorate everything with Santa stuff and Christmas lights, but we have a big BBQ Party or a Big dinner for the more traditional ones, like a real party not so different from a Birthday party. So Brazil's Christmas traditions are a blend of American Christmas traditions and Brazil's party traditions, so it's not unusual for people to get really drunk, throw fireworks, play loud songs completely unrelated to Christmas( Brazil doesn't have the tradition of making Christmas songs at all, so much that most of the songs we associate with Christmas are american ones like Jingle Bells but with a Portuguese lyrics), meet our extended family and friends, eat churrasco sometimes instead of Roasted Turkey, etc... Also, our population is mostly Catholic as well, so we have different decorations as well such as the Presépio, people parading in the steets for the "Missa do Galo", etc... and Presépio kinda looks like toys, so it helps giving this "Birthday vibe" even more.
same here, except in my childhood home it was the entirety of christmas that distracted from the true meaning of christianity lol
Anyone other sheltered kids out there miss out on the world of spongebob also?
I still haven’t seen it 😂
My mom thought it was dumb
My kids were Not allowed to watch SpongeBob or Rugrats.
They were going to child Care at the gym and they had all the kids sit down and watch shows and my kids would sit at a table and do nothing and say we can't watch those videos because they're inappropriate
My daughter’s sweet, sheltered friend didn’t know what an electric blanket was until about a month ago - she was very concerned I was going to set myself on fire.
Lol, is that a sheltered thing? Where I live no one has heard of an electric blanket. 🔥🏜️🌡️
the fuck's an electric blanket?
@@YataTheFifteenth a blanket that you can plug in that heats up. More common up north
Hearing Jake say toot and poot was really a joy.
This made me burst into laughter 🤣 A+ 💯👏
Genuinely feel sorry for kids that grew up like this.
Oh don’t worry, it was a very fun & innocent childhood. 😄 It was the shock of the real world in adulthood that sucked! Lol.
I wish I grew up like this.
It's not bad, really. I practically live at work and it pays the bills. If there's more to life than that, I have no idea what it could be. And because of that, I'm perfectly happy to live and die as a corporate slave. Life is good.
You just described my childhood! 🤣
All the comments expressing gratitude for this kind of upbringing are making me triply glad I became free of faith before high school.
The pushup bra joke at the end got me 😂
I feel simultaneously called out and annoyed this video is amazing. It's like someone's punching me in the stomach and I want to punch a pillow too.
Best video yet! So accurate I feel attacked😅😂🤣
Oh I’ve known so many kids like this!! It’s so perfect!! Love it!!!! 💖💖💖
I never understood why some people banned Harry Potter. It's literally about the triumph of good over evil, and the power of love.
Christian's think it's witchcraft
I showed this to my mom and she said “I want to meet his mom, she sounds amazing!” 😂😂😂
Speech impediment....that was hilarious 😂
This made me feel less sheltered. Thank you
For Halloween, I was “praise Him with timbrel and dancing.” My excuse to be a ballerina 😂.
We had to be princesses or fairies, no witches, zombies, vampires ect
This brought me back.
Yeaaahhh....31 years old and definitely grew up with my generations equivalent to all of this!!
This is everything! Please part 2!
Being at least somewhat sheltered has to be better than knowing almost everything I think tho 🤷♀️😂 at least in my experience, I wish I hadn't known some things at such a young age
Yes! Exactly! If I had been sheltered, I imagine it would’ve been way better.
I was pretty sheltered, so I had a very limited understanding of “baby making” until after I got married. In fact, neither of us had any idea. 😂
Anyway, we’re a lot more open with our kids and answer any questions they ask us. In my opinion, it’s better to learn it from your parents in a safe environment than to learn it from your friends or peers. Less embarrassing, too!
It truly is better
Not being a teen mom, addict or delinquent
Oh the horrors of missing out
But we know, only “sheltered” kids do bad things or bad horrible choices as teens or adults. “Normal” kids don’t do these things 🤣
@@rachele3334 Yes! I agree 100%. Sheltered by setting boundaries and not letting culture influence your children is good, but not to the point where you’re not even keeping the conversation open to topics that they will eventually hear about anyway.
Both extremes are bad. There is a happy medium for sure.
The lauguibh when you still don't get it was SOOOO funny and spot on 😂
Literally have a male friend who had to say 'fluff' growing up instead of toot or fart. 🤣
“Can’t say Fart. I have to say toot or poot.” Hahaha ugghhh yessss that was literally the worst
As someone who had a graduating class of 32 students (nearly all of whom I'd gone to school with since kindergarten), and is now a teacher at a public school, I just watched this several times on repeat. 😂😂😂 The accuracy hurts me.
Preaching to the choir. About 70% of my graduating class were still the same people from kindergarten-1st grade.
The sheltered life is pretty great! I'm glad I've been raised that way. I've avoided listening to/watching/experiencing a lot of nasty things.
Really? I'd say I was a bit sheltered as well while growing up, though the only positive thing I can say about it is that it made going to college and seeing how vast and fascinating the world could really be all the more interesting.
Alexis Rodriguez Good for you being able to recognize this! Parents who make sure their kids aren't exposed to inappropriate content do so because they love their children and want them to grow up to be healthy people. They also have very clear boundaries, and that it something to highly respect.
🎯
Exactly how I'm trying to raise my children. They're kids. Let them be innocent as long as possible before this world mucks it all up and twists their brains.
Stop lying, my mom is trying to shelter me and I hate it
Yep this was me as a kid. I grew up with super strict Polish Catholic parents. I still can't curse around them or watch bad movies even as an adult. They don't smoke or drink and go to church several times a week and pray the rosary 3 times a day all of which I was expected to do also. I wasn't allowed to wear shorts. Now as an adult I still have trouble wearing summer clothes once it gets hot. There's so many other things.
As a Christian homeschooled kid I can relate a little too much to this 😂
This hits close to home!
My poor kid just realized at her friend's karaoke party that she "apparently only knew the kidz bop version of all the songs" and was pretty shocked to find out the real lyrics 🤣
Great documentary!
Not the fake laughing at the joke you don’t get😅😂
Oh my goodness! This is so relatable. My mom was REALLY mad when she said "crap" or "shut up." ;) On very rare occasions. Growing up I got in trouble for saying that I was "freaked out." Jake, you did so well! I liked that you added your former speech impediment into the video, haha.
This is 100% accurate 😂🤣 Sheltered kids unite!!
i was homeschooled all my life then in 8th grade i went to public school. my taste in style, music, pretty much everything changed then.
As a European, for me, sometimes I think that these sheltered kids are from a weird film. But after a little, reality just hits me. I find it really interesting how Christianity is so strong, even tho the USA's goverment is separated from the church.
My parents were Polish Catholic immigrants from Europe so I was very sheltered and brought up in a very strict household. It was constant church and praying multiple times a day.
It's beautiful.
@@patriciakrakowiak1442 Did you like it?
@@Bluehoshiflower No I didn't. I wanted to have a normal life as a child. My parents never took me anywhere fun.
@@patriciakrakowiak1442 I am sorry to hear that. I hope you have lots of joy in your life now.
Wow that was insanely relatable. Especially the words part. I could only say putt and to this day my husband laughs at me about it.
I wish I was sheltered. So wholesome. I could have waited until my 20s to know all the horror of the world.
Sent this to one of my brothers title "our life" when we were growing up.🤣
Same!!!
In other words: "Every homeschooled kid ever"
Not really. lol I was a homeschooled Christian from K-12, and this representation is a bit on the extreme side. I knew other homeschoolers that weren't like this either. I always listened to 1950's-2000's music. I watched R rated movies, though tv censored. My mom would hide my eyes or turn the channel on some parts though obviously. But it wasn't like I wasn't allowed to watch or listen. I've always been a dancer, so I was exposed to a lot on that side too. My parents also cursed minus the F word, until I was 15, then they didn't care. I didn't say the F word until I was 23 though when I was required to for acting class. haha Still I would say that compared to most kids I was somewhat sheltered, but the right amount I would say.
@@Kathom34 ok u little snowflake I WAS HOMESCHOOLED and this a HILARIOUS representation of homeschoolers!
I wasn't quite on this level, but the no swearing definitely triggered a core memory. Maybe that's why my mouth went south when I went to college - all those pent up "gosh" moments!!
Growing up in the 50's compared to today: that's every sheltered kid!
and a better experience in the 50s I'll bet.
You even went out and bought the touch screen refrigerator for the skit. Dedication.
It’s sad how much I relate to this video. 😂😂😂😂
2:02 bro its sad how much thats me
Ok but the whole time watching this I was literally going “ok and what’s wrong with this…” especially if you’re not even high school age yet 😭 😂
You’re right there’s nothing wrong with it. My grandma always told us to protect our eyes, ears and mind
From someone who grew up this way….part of the sheltering is good. At some point parenting needs to switch from “sheltering” to “training” because parents won’t always there to protect. Sadly these parents usually don’t make the switch soon enough (if at all). The unfortunate side effect is 1- Missed opportunities where society/peers will teach culture rather than guidance from wise adults and 2- Getting into bad (at best awkward, at worse dangerous) situations that could have been avoided by “un-sheltered” knowledge. Thankfully I had friends who looked out for me and taught me how to keep myself safe. I appreciate my parents efforts to protect me and I genuinely believe they thought it was in my best interest, but what I learned from my friends should have come from my parents.
@@maikali8320 You’re absolutely right. It’s like you want to protect your child from all of the over-sexualizing but be real with them so they can be savvy at protecting themselves since parents can’t always be there. I listened to a woman’s story where her parents homeschooled her and totally shielded her but didn’t prepare her. She ended up trusting everyone and when she was a teenager met a guy at a concert who groomed her and by 17 she was sex trafficked.
