[post_page_title]The rules aren’t as strict for teens[/post_page_title]
As we have already established, there’s a varying level of strictness for Amish groups, with some of them adopting plenty of new world customs. One thing that seems to be relatively constant throughout most groups is that the rules are less strict for teens.
They know that part of adolescence is exploring your identity through rebellion, so they don’t punish teens for breaking the rules. Instead, they accept this part of them in the hopes that it will make them feel more connected to Amish life later on. They don’t want to push them away, after all.
