This movie is a documentary about Amish teenagers in central Indiana who experience and embrace the modern world as a rite-of-passage before deciding which life they will choose, the Amish or “English” life. This rite-of-passage is called “Rumspringa”. One major theme I observed in this movie is that of religious beliefs, values and morals. Amish teenagers are put in a position at age 16 to decide if they want to continue with the Amish culture for the rest of their lives, or separate themselves completely from their family and all they know and start a new life in the “English” world. Do they get on their knees and follow God and their parents' beliefs for the rest of their lives or do they follow society and do what they want to do with their life?
Kids should be reading, learning math and science, writing stories or actually playing.

He gives valuable information on when a relationship may be detrimental to the children, as well as, how it can be an endorsement to all involved. Also, he discusses the single parent’s readiness or non-readiness to begin to date again.

At homecoming the students do not spend as much money on outfits, limos, dinner, and all the other expenses. Whereas at prom, students spend even more because it is a very memorable event. Therefore, the activities at both are completely different. The students do not receive the luxury of activities for homecoming, whereas at prom the students can attend a function at the end of prom which is known as “after prom.” During “after prom” the students can hangout with friends, play games, eat, and other various activities. Students, of all grades in high school are usually allowed to attend this function whether they went to prom or not.
The documentary follows the rumspringa of four Amish 16 year-olds whom experience the English world for the first time. Soon they have to make the most important decision of their lives: to make a life long vow to the Amish community, or choose to live the English way and be shunned by all members of their family and community alike. Although this is a religious custom in the Amish tradition, there are detrimental effects that do occur after rumspringa due to the Amish isolation from multiple modern phenomena. According to the Amish, they support their children going on rumspringa so the teens can eliminate any need of curiosity or interest they have with the English. At the end of rumspringa, the Amish teens have the opportunity to officially be baptized into the Amish religion/lifestyle with the correct intentions, and begin the new process of socializing as an important contributing member to society.
Scotty McCreery, a teenage country singer and former American Idol winner, performs a song called “Back on the Ground” which illustrates how sometimes in life we lose a sense of what things really mean the most to us. He demonstrates how we always want to explore elsewhere, but there comes a point in our lifetime when we realize that family means the world to us and we should not let it go. In the third stanza of the song he says, “…I remember when I couldn’t wait to get out of her hair and ditch this town. I was restless a time to move on…” This exemplifies the desire of young teenagers to break away from their parents and leap into reality with no sense of direction. In the same stanza McCreery states, “…Now it’s any reason to go back
‘The novel clearly shows that war, as well as exposing the cruel and violent side of human nature, also….’ Throughout the novel the group of teenagers mature enormously after being invaded by an unknown military. 4. Think of three reasons for your view and again express them in the third person e.g. ‘The characters in chapter one are wrapped up in their own lives like most teenagers when they leave Wirrawee to go camping for the first time.’ Reason 1- Homer becomes a changed individual; who sheds the immature, unfeeling mask that he had been hiding behind, and transforms into a leader, a thinker and a
John Valachovic Pros and Cons of Coed dorms on Yale Campus Coed dorms yes I think this is totally acceptable children should have the right to act like adults as soon as possible. After all the high school students are having sex in schools now why not coed dorms in college? It seems the USA is far behind the modern world when it comes to accepting when children become adults and we are digressing at a rapid pace. When I was growing up school children where allowed to drive the school busses at the age of sixteen. They also were considered adults at the age of eighteen.
When Amish children turn 16, the rules change. They're encouraged to experiment and explore. The idea is that teens will come back to the church after tasting the modern world. For most, this means a tentative foray; a trip to the local movie theater or driving lessons. But for some, the experience, called Rumspringa, is all about sex, wearing non traditional clothes and hair, drinking smoking, parties, and fast cars.
