Wenger Mennonites youth go through a period of rumspringa between ages 16 and 18. It is sometimes referred to as a period to "sow wild oats",[4] despite that they typically do not get into the type of serious offenses of the most disorderly of the Amish groups.
A minority of Amish youth do diverge from established customs.[3]:13 Some may be found:[3]:10-11
* Wearing non-traditional clothing and hair styles (referred to as dressing "English")
* Driving vehicles other than horse-drawn vehicles (for communities that eschew motor vehicles)
* Not attending home prayer
* Drinking and/or using recreational drugs
* Engaging in pre-marital sex
