Devil's Playground

I think that many of the Amish youth choose to go back to the Amish religion instead of staying with the American people because they have been brought up their entire lives believing that the only good way of life is the Amish way of life. When the Amish youth go out to enjoy their Rumspringa period, I do not think many of them see it as a possible way of life for the rest of their life. I think they see it only as a chance to get away from their parents, the rules, and to just have fun. After a couple years of this they get bored of doing the same thing over and over again, and finally decide to go back to what many of them believe as the proper way of life. Also a lot of them are probably encouraged by their parents to come back. They are brought up to believe that the English customs are the "devil's playground", so I think that also plays a role in them wanting to go back because they don't want to feel like they are going to go to hell by not going back.
