Rumspringa
When an Amish child turns 16 years old they enter what is called their Rumspringa phase. During this phase the child is allowed to do the things that are normally banned in traditional Amish culture. Some kids go wild: drinking and doing drugs while others opt for something fairly innocent, like seeing a movie.
