Believe it or not, the Amish community totally understands the rebellious phase that teenagers go through! In fact, the Amish even have a life event dedicated to the concept of rebelling during youth.
It’s called Rumspringa, which literally translates to “running around!” During this time, Amish teens are allowed to experience “English life,” as they refer to society outside the community. Rumspringa lasts between the ages of 14 and 18. The Amish do this out of fairness. After all, if teenagers did not experience what the rest of the world offers, it would not be fair to ask them to join the community. It’s something to remember when you’re fighting with your rebellious teenagers – it’s just natural!
