And the government needs to either be a meritocracy with its populace armed according to its physically and mentally stable population... or the government needs to be involved enough (police and in some cases military) with its people that it has the power it requires to neutralize threats.
Indeed, which is why I'm a libertarian and not an anarchist. I like to think of libertarianism as "organised anarchy" in a way. People need a government to support the police force and the healthcare, all the necessary things for a society to function properly. They should stop when they are preventing people from exercising their individual liberties, and preventing people from earning as much as they want to support their family.

I completely agree with that bolded statement, from entirely personal experience. My bank accounts, medical forms, housing options, and schooling are all 100% controlled by my parents. I have zero possibility of altering this without emancipation, which i will probably have to go to court over.

I have everything all set up for me to move into, so that i can begin a transformation which my parents will not allow me to undergo (But which i absolutely MUST undergo, and soon, to ensure smooth transition), and so that i will be closer to a collage, with free room and board (so long as i help keep the family's house clean, and help out in general, which i already do for them), and my license and car will both be made available to me in 7 months (=time of high-school graduation with 10 collage credits to my name already, in valid fields for my future jobs).

And what can't i do? Exactly all of that... i will be graduating high-school a year and a half earlier than most people... but i am held back from my life by conservativity.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
