and teenagers are teenagers. Being born Amish doesn't make you genetically virtuous or anything.

A few years back a couple of Amish men here in PA were arrested for dealing drugs (I think it was meth but I could be mis-remembering). They had taken jobs with a roofing company and gotten involved with some bikers.

Then, more recently, there was some crazy guy leading an Amish cult that went around terrorizing other Amish by forcefully cutting off their hair and beards.
