When they turn 16, Amish teenagers, used to this conservative lifestyle, enjoy a period of their younger years living a life free of thei community's guidelines. Rumspringa, as it is called, makes them acquainted with different experiences and explore the lifestyle of other "worlds" so they can consciounsly make the deciosion of remaining within their community or forever be forgotten by it.
