26. Rumspringa
Rumspringa is a limited period of time that can last up to a year, when an Amish child turns sixteen. During this period of time they are allowed to go out into the world and experience all it has to offer, and then determine whether or not they will return to the Amish community. For some young Amish, rumspringa is simply symbolic, however for others its a time to challenge the status quo and decide what they really want from life.
