Amish People Tradition #weird

Last week on Monday, in my English class, Mr. Luke taught me and my friends about Amish people (picture bellow) and they're kinda weird as a matter of fact.
They are never allowed to have electricity or gadgets in their house, which is so-so weird, Amish men mustn't have buttons on their shirts & zippers, buttons or belts on their trousers, Amish aren't allowed to cut their hair (you mean like Rapunzel?! Are you kidding me?!) so it has to grow longer and longer and etc.
Oh, and if they travel or ride, they have to use a horse or cows or such other things.
Amish people are very simple, they love to be around nature and never drinks alcohol or do something really bad. They are very religious.
Amish parents don't bring their children to High School or College, because they don't trust higher levels of studying. ‪#‎weird‬

But one day, when the Amish teens are already at the age of 17-18, they are allowed to go and see the modern world for a month, that day is called Rumspringer.
They can do all crazy things, like drink alcohol, stripping, and all those bad things that I wouldn't do, of course.
Then, when they go back to their community, they have to choose between the Amish world or the Modern world.
One family of Amish teens chose to live in the Modern world but one.
- If you're an Amish, what will you feel like to be stuck in the simple world? - What will you do when it's Rumspringer day?
List five things in the comment of what you will do on that day.
