Sheltered Kids, Strict parents, Christian homes

Many times, Christian children are called "sheltered" because of their moral values and the fact they attend church on Sundays. So what does "sheltered" mean? Could it be that these kids do not want to take part in these things?
Christian families have expectations of the children. They are expected to behave in certain ways since they are taught moral values right out of the Bible. How do I know this? I was raised in moral Christian family. Of course though, we were by no means perfect. My mother was/is the Christian parent and we were raised to be like her. Would I call myself sheltered? In a way, I suppose you could say that I was sheltered. I only attended public school until right after sixth grade and even then, I did not fit in with my peers. It was the reason I left. My interest was music and finding cool new bands instead of learning to ride a bike and batting a ball. Yet, I was always labeled sheltered.
Now, I do not believe that my parents were as overbearing as I thought when I was a kid. My sister and I thought this because were not allowed to watch "bad" movies and listen to "bad" music.

Part 2 ----> "Because I said so"

Seriously, children really hate this answer. Why do parents always give it to their children? Are they just that lazy that they cannot come up with a answer for their kids? I deem this answer a horrible answer and it should never be given. I mean, I honestly think that a lot of kids would just respect their parents wishes if "because I said so" was not the answer to their question. Of course children should obey their parents, but this is overboard and not the answer at all. It is a cop out answer because a) there is no answer b) the parent does not want to think of one c) tis answer is good enough, the kid should accept it. I think children should be given some trust in terms receiving answers. I think that if they were "explained" not just "told" answers, they would be more likely to accept them. Of course, there will always be hard-headed children who could care less what their parents have to say.

Infant Baptism

Even Christians disagree on many topics regarding Christianity, and infant baptism is one of them. I strive to keep my beliefs as simple as possible, desperately trying not to get caught up in many things that tear Christians apart and cause arguments. Infant baptism is one of the beliefs that I disagree with.

I believe that since a baby cannot make decisions, they should not be baptized. An infant cannot choose to accept Christ yet, therefore what reason do the parents have to baptize them?

Why do I believe this?

Baptism is supposed to be a special day between only Christ and you. It is your proclaimation that you are a Christian. You are telling everyone in your church that you have become saved. Many people think that it is the act of being baptized that saves you. I, however do not believe this. As a born again believer, I believe that a person must accept the gift of salvation in order to be saved. If baptism were required, it would no longer be a gift. All a person has to do is take it. I believe that one should be baptized after being saved. This obviously does not include infants since they cannot make this decision.
