Even after resolving other safety concerns, parents in Georgia can wait for months to be reunited with their children, often because of what advocates say are stringent requirements sought by the state’s Division of Family and Children Services.
Lockable doors and beds didn’t even exist for the vast majority of humanity’s existence and still don’t in many places. Beds aren’t even popular sometimes today. Many Japanese children and their parents sleep on mats on the floor. They also may have interior walls, including the ones of their room, made of rice paper. Are all of those children mentally ill?
To suggest that lacking such things would cause mental illness would be to suggest that only a small segment of humanity has ever been not been mentally ill.
As far as escaping your parents or developing your sexuality, neither a lockable door nor a bed are necessary for those things. You may have to go outside your own home once in a while though.

Look I think the OP needs some perspective, but stepping back for a minute to look around at the world… are you sure that’s an unreasonable suggestion?
Yes I do think that’s an unreasonable suggestion considering the vast amount of time our species has been on this planet, we were small groups of hunter-gatherers and there’s not, as far as I know, widespread mental illness amongst modern hunter-gatherers.
And those hunter gatherers often all live together as one single tribe. Not only do the children not have their own rooms, no one does. Let alone locks.
Homie, it was a joke about the state of the world. I recognise your username, we are often arguing the same points in threads so I think we agree on a lot. There’s no need to come at me all serious, I was just trying to give you a wry smile.

Sorry, this other guy who doesn’t understand the concept of mental illness got my goat.
