You know the kid who, by the time he finished school had still never kissed anyone, maybe never even thought about it? That kid was sheltered.

If you often hear swear words or slang words in your own language and you don’t know what they mean, you might be sheltered too. Someone who is sheltered is protected from the bad elements of the world, usually by his or her parents.

Saying someone is sheltered is generally a bad thing to say about him or her. It implies a lack of wisdom and experience. Most parents who shelter their children do so unnecessarily. They’re just afraid to let them grow up.

But when you’re as famous as internationally known athlete David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham, who you may know as Posh Spice, it’s pretty necessary to shelter your children a little. You don’t want reporters and cameras around them all the time, so you have to hide them from the world a little bit to make sure they grow up healthy.
