Why is the liminal period so confusing to these Amish?
I think the liminal period is so confusing to these Amish teens is because all of their lives they have been taught how to live by others and by god. So when they turn 16 they finally are able to teach themselves how to live and lead their own lives and this scares them. Without these orders of how to live, these kids are set loose to the world and easily influenced to go down wretched paths. Paths filled with drugs, sex and violence, far from what they are used to. When these things are far from what they are used to they are interesting and accepted by the young naive Amish teens.
