(it needed a comma) :)

I am with the others on this one, there should be a comma after experience.

It should be "She hardly has"... then it needs to be "...she has been sheltered"...
the had and the has need to be the same tense.
Because she is presently still living...it is has...if she was deceased...both would be had.
No comma is needed.... :)
